Our Psyche is What is Really Ours - (2618)

Introduction

We went to a retreat today and some really very helpful talks were presented. This is a snippet from one of the talks.


Our Body Heals Itself and We Can't Change That

If our body is injured then our body using the intelligence installed into the body's instinctive centre, will heal itself. This happens fully automatically. We can say that this is the body's responsibility to heal itself. 

What is really ours and is us, is our psyche. We can change, modify our psyche and make it worse or better and it is totally our own responsibility to take care of it, healing it and transforming it. If we don't work on it then it does not get better or heal itself or rejuvenate itself. Like how the body does.

What we can really have inner or innate power over, is our psyche.  One day though when our consciousness extends over our physical body, it too we become part of what we can modify.

Our body is a gift but our psyche is what is us, and taking care of that falls to us and not anyone else.

Because we are asleep we do not take up this responsibility and we often try to make it other people's responsibility to look after it. This I want to add is pure suffering. It is to set ourselves up to suffer.

End (2618).
