Lets take this question and try to understand it. Lets try to understand what we really are so that we can use this instrument that we call our body and mind to its fullest.
Right now, in your understanding, this “you” is constituted by your body, your mind, and your energies. Your energies may not be in your experience currently, but you know them by inference: if your body and mind function as they do, there must be some kind of energy empowering them.
We are actually composed of five “sheaths,” or layer or, more simply, bodies. It leads us from the gross to the subtlest levels of reality. It is a useful place at which to start our exploration of who you really are.
The first layer to which we should draw our attention is the physical baby. What you call the “body” right now is just an accumulated heap of food. It is the product of all the nourishment you have ingested over the years.
The second layer is the mental body. Today, doctor are talking a great deal about psychosomatic ailments. This means that what happens in the mind affects what happens in the body. This is because what you call “mind” is not just the brain. It is not located in any single part of the human anatomy. Instead, every cell has its own intelligence, so there is an entire mental body, an entire anatomy of the mind.
Whatever happens in the mental body happens in the physical body and, in turn, whatever happens in the physical body happens in the mental body. Every fluctuation on the level of the mind has a chemical reaction, and every chemical reaction, in turn, generates a fluctuation on the level of the mind.
There are more layers to it but we will look into that subtler levels in our upcoming posts, for now, just sit and think, if what you call your body and mind are just accumulated over a period of time, who are you really…? Let this question go deep inside you as it will be the first step towards knowing your true nature of existence.
