The body is an instrument – a tool. You use a hammer to pound in a nail. Do you think you are the hammer? Of course not. Yet you say, “I hammered the nail.” The hammer was the go-between between your thought, your will, and the action. That is what the body is – the go-between, not the real you. It is a useful tool to carry out ego’s thoughts and will or those of the soul. Who will do your body’s bidding? The answer to that question determines your peace.
Too crazy but today I held the hammer that ‘hammered’ the nail that Was intended to hold the beautiful angel wind chimes. Of course I had to hurry and pound the nail in a new place so the wind could be heard through the chimes. My husband hung the chimes in a quiet place and I wanted them moved……sooooo I moved them AND…….they lasted only about……30 minutes and hit the bushes below…,.all quiet comical. As I was pounding the nail with the hammer all I could think was.,,..hopefully my husband will never figure out what I had done…..
