Our True Nature is Not Confined to a Body or a Mind

I’ve been following Bill Phillips’ blog Bill Phillips Transformation for awhile now and he writes some really wonderful entries and thought-provoking exercises to do. For those of you who may not know him, he was the mastermind behind the “Body for Life” empire. I have his Body for Life Success Journaland it’s a great tool for mind and body transformation.

Below is a snippet from his most recent blog post which really struck home with me. I love finding someone like Bill Phillips who is not only interested in physical transformation but the mind as well because when both are in harmony, life is ecstasy! Here it is. Enjoy…

“One of the keys to making a transformation of consciousness is being able to rise above your thoughts and your actions and observe them objectively…You see, because we can observe the mind and its thoughts, and we can observe the body and its actions, objectively, it begins to become clear that our true nature is not confined to a body or a mind. As we move into our meditation exercises next week, we’ll revisit this idea again. And we’ll be ready to start asking some of the really fun questions like, “Who is doing the observing?” The way I see it, it wouldn’t be my body, so it seems very unlikely that I’m just a body. And since I can observe my thoughts, I can’t be just a mind. Who or what then is doing the observing?”

I have high regard for Bill Phillips and have been waiting for the release of his new book for over a year now. I thought maybe he had postponed it due to his brother Shawn releasing STRENGTH for Life.

I saw that you can preorder the Transformation book on Amazon. It’s released mid-November (just in time for everyone’s new years resolutions!)

How do you like Bill’s new look?

Your welcome Juli!

Debbie,
From reading his blog, I’m looking forward to his book too! His new look? I think he looks good. His face is a little fuller but healthy looking.
