The One Who Is Alive Inside You

Your etheric body can be understood as your energy body, the true power centre.

The power centre wears the physical body like a suit. Through the nervous system and fascia, the energy force, qi, moves it, animates it, and allows it to function.

This energy body converts light, food, and breath into energy.

That energy becomes qi, which powers the suit.

The body itself is functional.

Muscles are functional.

Blood is functional.

Skin is functional.

They serve the system.

But you are not the function.

You are the qi, the living field of energy that animates the form.

You are the space of being that exists before the sensation of feeling.

From that space, feeling arises in many ways.

Through touch.

Through the senses.

Through emotion.

Through the aura.

Through the subtle movements of energy itself.

When the physical body eventually declines, the suit is dropped.

But the sense of being, the energetic presence that is you, remains.

You realise then that you were never the suit.

The practice is to recognise this while the body is still alive.

To become aware.

To awaken.

When this awareness stabilises, you begin to live in the body in a very different way. It feels like living in the body just before death, but not feeling like death. The body is alive, yet you are aware of something deeper than the body itself.

The body is alive.

Yet you know it is not what you are.

You know you are the qi that moves it.

Because of this, the body becomes something different.

Not an identity.

But an instrument.

A suit that allows you to be here, fully here, experiencing the world while knowing your true nature is the energy that animates it.

It can feel almost as if the body is alive and you are about to fly.
