You have been taught to believe that consciousness exists in the body. It doesn't. The body exists within your consciousness. You have been taught to believe that consciousness exists in the body. It doesn't. The body exists within your consciousness. There is a vast difference in the realization of those two definitions, and the idea, therefore, is very unlimiting, very expansive. For you can recognize that what you think of as your body is but one focal point within the combined idea of the consciousness you are, out of which is created all the physical reality you experience. You have much more mobility, because you can diversify your focus, disperse your point of view, broaden and expand the way you look at yourself – the way you look through yourself, the way you look through the idea of yourself that is expressed in bodily terms. Thus, it is important to remember that the body is immersed in the collective consciousness that you are.
