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.
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.
As the dweller is not the dwelling, the soul is not the body. One is time-bound and limited; the other is timeless and free.
Bodies come and go but the life that we are does not die.
We have three operational centres: Mind thinks, Heart feels, Body acts. We know this because they change. (We cannot see what does not change.) After waxing and waning, the centres shut down. This does not affect us.
