You Are a SOUL Who Has A Body
and Why It's Important To Know This

The words we use, and the myths these words perpetuate, keep many people “grounded” in believing that their body is who they are.

“When I die I’m leaving everything to my kids” and similar sentiments reinforce that “I die” when the body dies.

Billions and billions of dollars are spent annually to beautify the body and seek immortality for it. There is nothing wrong with wanting a healthy, attractive body. The body is "a temple", a fabulous vehicle for experiencing this realm. However, we become very distracted with seeking immortality for the body. The body is a finite being. It will die. But YOU don't die when it dies. Your loved ones don't die.

Yes, when their body dies we may miss their physical presence in our lives, but how wonderful is it to know that their essence, Spirit-self lives on in another realm. The deceased just shed a skin that no longer served its purpose.

Some people may believe they have a soul when in fact they ARE the soul / Spirit-self who HAS a body.

After my beloved grandfather's body died I struggled with grief. I miss him more than words can express. He had been my incarnate guardian angel. For years I cried when I thought of him. One day a friend told me to imagine him standing before me and when I cried or felt sad, exhale toward him imagining that my invisible breath carried my love to him. It worked for me because I focused on my love rather than my grief.

Another Way I KNOW We Are Not The Body
The body has a mind of its own—literally. That mind is called a lot of things by different traditions: Ego, Instinct, reactive mind, etc. I first became aware that the body’s mind will react to situations and preserve the body during an incident in 1992. For more about this please see my video entitled “I was driving my car when it happened.”

At first I thought I was crazy but many years later I understand that I took a trip down memory lane and my body’s mind took over and maneuvered the car through the construction zone.

You may ask:
Why is this concept important?
Why would my audience care about this?

1. People who believe they are their body and have only one life to live experience life based on fear. People who live in fear are stifled and unable to create to their maximum potential.

   The key is to KNOW that they are eternal and the choices they make now influence what will happen in the future: individually, communally and globally.

   Unleash the creative force of the Soul.

2. Once people really understand that this lifetime is a temporary stop on the infinite journey, mountains of problems are transformed into learning opportunities.
   
   Life becomes a journey filled with lessons and choices.
   
   
3. Many of us live on “automatic pilot” –the daily grind of mindless activity, doing what is expected of us, etc. A spiritual being came into your body with a mission.
   
   Automatic pilot is anesthesia for the soul.
