Infection

The thinking mind makes a terrible presumption – that the body belongs to it. It fills the body with a strange anxious tension, inhibiting its proper functioning and preventing anything else from getting in. Yielding, in one sense anyway, means accepting – kabalah – which means not just allowing communication but allowing entry – allowing what we are communicating with to enter and fill the body. And only when we allow the other to enter and fill us will our own energy properly enter – penetrate – and fill it. And it is a filling – as though every cell becomes infected. And it is almost instant, and so spiritual – of the spirit. It is a truly wonderful way to be in and with the world – having it constantly entering and enriching our body. Every step we take is then a letting go – a truly spiritual life.
