HUMAN CONTAINERS CONTAIN WHAT? by (me!) sandra, tvgp
again... not sayin' anythin' new here -just validating. comtemplating. spirit vs. flesh.for several years now, my brother has been tellin' me, "when i look in the mirror, i see a 47 year old (48, now 49), -but i feel the same INSIDE -i feel inside like i did when i was 20...
and with great humor, ray orrock, wrote about his theory, (i'm doing this from memory/book is in a box in the garage): that everyone stays 19 years old inside... stops at around 19, while their body marches on...
and i have a similar experience -46 on the outside... but my appearance/chronological age feels different on the inside
today, inside i feel younger/stronger than my outside. but there were times in the past, my outside appeared younger/stronger than i felt inside
point is: there is an actual disconnect we can experience, isn't there... from our human containers; and what it is they contain. -sometimes, the two exist in harmony -i am 5 years old; i look and feel 5 years old
and sometimes... one quite ahead or behind the other.
fascinating isn't it.
i agree with everyone who says "we are spiritual beings having a human experience" -not the other way around.

Love the post, and so true. I don't feel much over 20--sometimes even younger. Having a sense of humor keeps you feeling young. So does marveling over simple things, looking at them so closely, it's like seeing them for the first time.
