Are you a body with a soul or a soul with a body?


I said before that the Holy Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He knows what the answer to everything is. The ego does not know what a real question is, although it asks an endless number. Yet you can learn this as you learn to question the value of the ego, and thus establish your ability to evaluate its questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego’s belief that the body is the proper aim of healing. Ask, rather, that the Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for perception alone can be distorted. Only perception can be sick, because only perception can be wrong. T-8.IX.1:1-7

“Only perception can be sick, because only perception can be wrong.” Are you a soul in a body or a body with a soul? The ego answers one way and the Holy Spirit another. Which do you believe?


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This inherent worth and dignity does not come from the body but from the soul.


Today it is suggested that we reflect on the question of whether you are a body with a soul or a soul with a body. With which do you primarily identify?
