Now - you’ve got the body. You can give attention to it. You’ve got the Transforming Mechanism! If you are blessed with a certain sensitivity and insight, you may be able to use it NOW. Somehow to REALIZE what all this is about. The intensity of the situation can be put to great advantage!

The body is a simpler mechanism for direct attention, if you can avoid ‘normal’ habit. Generally, when you get a pain, a discomfort, you immediately start ‘wondering’ - is it a sickness, should you go to a doctor, not go to a doctor, is it this or that, what should you do, tell your mother or not, worry about it or not, do ‘something’ or not? The sensation brings up all kinds of mental struggle. With whatever is uncomfortable, you start struggling - what are you going to do, going to do, going to do? And the last thing you do - is give it attention! And as we know, attention is light and light heals!

Now, we are in this wonderfully fortunate position. That’s why we wanted a body so much - so we could do something with our negative energy - to evolve! That which we could not do without a body.

Everything we have is vibration - and that vibration goes into the body! It can be observed as sheer energy, without it slipping up into the imagination that wants to struggle with it, justify it, or run away from it!

That is a rough kind of description of how the body might transform energy. Through direct attention! Not through judgment and not through analysis. Work is about observation - not analysis.

And it goes for all centers. In a way it’s easier with the body.

It’s explained in many of the traditions as to why is man so unique. Man can evolve! Animals always will be animals and angels will always be angels, but this body gives us an incredible opportunity to change our ‘level of being’. By its ability to refine energy! And the energy to be refined, is the energy of pain. Refining it through, what is called ‘Understanding’. We are sitting in the transforming machine.....

The clearest thing that arises, which is consistent with ‘yeda’ (Knowledge) and also consistent with experience - is that with a body, one can transform. The body is a Transforming Mechanism!
