SHEDDING ARTIFICE

Your name and the body it represents in the Dream of the Planet are empty symbols whose meaning and definition are the expression of your intent as you live life. The true you is the living being, the point of perception, that gives these symbols life.

Oftentimes we confuse our bodies and our names with who we really are, and the result is suffering.

You are not your body, and you are not the label attached to it. You are life; and you are love. You are the source of love, and, consequently, you have enough love to share with everyone along the path of your life.

Your name and body represent the expression of who you are, through your manifested love.

Practice

Be the love that you are today. Consider that your name, your identity, and your appearance are just expressions of who you are, through your manifested love. Shed your body and your name and imagine what the true you might look like.
