A depreciating asset

As the dweller is not the dwelling, we are not the body.

I Am That

Our fascination with bodies effectively obscures True Self, which does not change, age, fall ill or die. I am the light of the world, I AM said, a solar system bar-coded as “Keith.”

Metaphysics

One of Richard Rohr’s Five Messages for Men—You are going to die—expresses a common misunderstanding. We do not grow and die. Our bodies do.

Small-minded

The word philosophy comes from the Greek for ‘love of wisdom’. The question upon which all of philosophy sits is, Who am I? Jesus answered this question directly. He said, “You are the light of the world.”

And I thought I was a body.

Free

A last breath is released, and life escapes the body. Our word for this spell-breaker is death, but it and every other word seem cramped and churlish in the moment of our emancipation.
