To conceive of the body as a means of attack and to believe that joy could possibly result, is a clear-cut indication of a poor learner. He has accepted a learning goal in obvious contradiction to the unified purpose of the curriculum, and one that is interfering with his ability to accept its purpose as his own. T-8.VII.14:5-6

What is the body for? It is the vehicle for communication here in the world of the ego so that people can learn from whence they came and to where they will return. The body is for unconditional love and the salvation of humankind when everybody loves everybody all the time. Using the body for attack to dominate others is not the path to peace and bliss.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. This principle enables the development of what Buddhists call “right relationship.”
Today it is suggested that we reflect on how we use our bodies. Are they for domination and subjugation of others or for collaboration, cooperation, and the creation of harmony?
