I can think back on three different experiences of feeling separated from my physical body during times of complete happiness. Now I see I was experiencing my world body of oneness. There was no effort or even meditation. It was such a lovely freeing release that happened somehow spontaneously. Thankyou Francis for your explanation 🤗
We have in addition to our immortal souls three bodies. The first body is Causal: Ideas. The second body is Astral: Energy. The third body is Elemental: elements. When we leave our physical or elemental body we go with our astral body to an Astral realm where we stay until ready to reincarnate again in the physical world with a physical body. If we are more advanced and have learned all the lessons we need in the Astral we go to the Causal realm and travel back and forth between it and the Astral until we are liberated and can combine with the whole which is Spirit.
And HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE?!? Relax... a billion trees are exhaling purified oxygen for our body. Without them, our "individual" body would perish in about 4 minutes, yes? So, no matter what our framing of personal experience, Trees are an integral part of our alive, functioning body. How beautifully true, and this gives great joy. One consciousness, one body. Wow! Thanks!
I think that this is true real meaning of Jesus when he taught the practice of the Eucharist to his disciples To feel that our real body do not end in our limited skin but share the matter which is in the bread we eat and in the wine we drink. The same idea with the practice of vipassana meditation taught by Buddha and the exchange of air between us the plants and all creatures of the universe
It is also the case that we are the microcosm of the macrocosm. Our body is a miniature of the universe. It is the equivalent of a pocket radio being a miniature of a boom box radio. All is the same except for size. When God said to the angels: Let us make man in our image we were made in the image of God. Within us is the third person of the Holy Trinity. We are truly temples of the Holy Ghost as religion has taught us. So we should respect ourselves and others in light of who we, and they, are. Most of humanity knows this, it is time to start living it.
I enjoyed listening to this. It gives a good idea of how the world and physical body are invented, and of how persuasive that illusion is. Of course, a further inquiry could show that the distinction among the types of experience is as illusory as the connection between sensation and body image These are not really two separate things but have to be imagined as separate before they can be imagined as joined.
Francis, I get the message intellectually. Experientially, I still see myself confined to the envelope of the body. What is a way to move this from mental knowing to physical experiencing?

One such way, which Spira teaches often in his yoga meditations (there are a few on TH-cam or his website) is to begin by feeling the ‘bodily sensations’. Forget any memory of the body- shape, size etc- have the eyes closed and just experience the sensations. Search those sensations, see if you can find where those sensations ‘end’ or their ‘edge’. Keep the ‘thinking mind’ out of it and try to just ‘experience’. The more you do this, in time it may be experienced with eyes open and in regular life, until one day it might be your permanent experience. Have fun with it :)
@@JonathanJonesYoga My reply is to learn to be present. Live in the Now, not the past, and not the Future. I believe it is more in our thoughts, and not being in or out of the body.
@@kirstinstrand6292 A couple of questions. Can you live in anything other than the now? What if our thinking and bodily experience don't align? That is how I understood his question, but I may be wrong :)
@@kirstinstrand6292 the body echoes or reacts to the thoughts that we hold for being a body for so long in our minds the sensations have aligned to that belief.

I am so thankful to the person who asked this question. It makes more sense now what happens during vipassana meditation.

BRAVO 👏 👏👏 Francis 🌹
HAPPINESS flows
NATURALLY
when the body is
TOTALLY INTEGRATED
with the WORLD 🙏
Love you guys, thank you Francis and team for your wonderful work!
This is amazing this is just like the meditation that rupert calls pouring emptiness into the body.
Thanks for this comment. I am going to listen to that.
Yes that is a really good meditation.
Continuing to love this. Thank you
And
HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE?!?

subtle body is not generated by anithing. it exist always and is the body in wich we have the experience of the PRANA-GOD, Kundalini etc...

The subtle body is not contain inside the physical body
Delusions of grandeur. "You" wnt be around to enjoy it. And you don't know what any of this is about and you cajt accept that.
Projecting your egoic righteous delusion onto something you dont understand... Typical lol
How do I know what you speak is not a delusion?
That's an interesting projection
