healthy mind = healthy body ?
why completely forget the body if its what you've been given and are experiencing life in ?
why does PY want to forget ?
or is it phrased that way to reveal and recognize scale
im confused !
There's no need to "completely forget" about the body. That could pretty much only be possible via death or a coma.
Consider the phrasing used in Steve's post: "the mind constantly thinking about the body becomes limited by it"
If we convince ourselves that we are nothing more than our physical body and that there is nothing beyond physical limits of time-space, then as a result of free will and attraction we must "play by our own rules", and therefore we will be limited only as far as we limit ourselves.
When we consider that we are dual-beings and have "spiritual" body as well as physical, then we can begin to understand that the mortal body is a mere vehicle for the soul with which to move around in time-space. And when we consider that there is infinite beyond time-space, we allow ourselves to extend our mind and lives far beyond the limits of that "vehicle" we call a body.
Thus, the physical, mental, and spiritual body are connected. You can not single out one and neglect the other, for they follow each other. Taking care of the body, being healthy, etc. can still be considered part of mental health and spiritual health as well, and when you think this way you also free yourself of physical limits. You can easily alter your DNA and strengthen the body with spiritual mind.
The problem is only when one forgets that the body is connected to mind and spirit. That is what I believe PY refers to as "the mind constantly thinking about the body becomes limited by it".
