The human body is the most valuable and most beautiful creation in the physical world. There is nothing comparable in the universe. From an external viewpoint, it is a magnificent instrument, capable of highest intellectual, emotional, sensitive, motorial, energetic and artistic achievement.
More than that, the physical body is the vehicle for the spirit to have experiences and grow. The physical body is near endless in its potential to learn.
Many people keep their bodies in good shape and in good health. They beautify their bodies and do everything externally to look good.
Our body is also the dwelling place for the spirit. Every action we make in our physical life, every thought and feeling we have is imprinted into the spirit. By the end of our lives, our spirit leaves the body and takes with it all the good and bad that the body has done and thought during its life. When we lived a good life centred on higher spiritual purposes, our spirit will leave the body bright and full of energy and with many possibilities to enjoy life in the spiritual world.
There are also many people who never used their body for spiritual aims and it can be that the spirit in such a body is entirely unable to live a conscious life in the spiritual world. Such spirits look like grey clouds and you can hardly recognize that they are human beings.
The highest purpose for our bodies is that we make them dwelling places for the Creator to live in and to express through. The Creator has no body. We could see the Creator as Spirit or Source. Meant here is Spirit or Source of all what is created and of all love.
The Creator can dwell in our bodies, when we make our bodies available and fit for this.
Such bodies need to be entirely pure. Pure means that there is no dirt in such a body, that the person living in and using the body does not desire for wrong things, does not think selfish and untrue thoughts and does not act in a way that harms others.
When we understand the Creator as the Source of love and energy, it is most important that we keep our bodies pure and clean all the time. This is mostly a demand on the level of love and energy, but of course also external cleanliness and good health are important.
How can we keep our bodies pure on the levels of love and energy? We can only do this when we first have become conscious of what is pure love and good energy. We also need some understanding of the processes of how impure love and bad energies could enter us.
In principle each touch, each communication, each engaging in relationships exchanges love and energies. This is especially true for human relationships, but also relations to animals and things influence the energies inside of us.
The most powerful exchange of love and energies takes place when people love each other and especially when there is a sexual relationship of any kind.
Suppose that you have a sexual relationship with your partner who the day before was unfaithful to you and had a sexual relationship to a person with a very low moral and spiritual standard. Then without you realizing it the energies of this third person might come into you through your partner and defile your own body and give you mental and spiritual problems for a long time after that. Your body will get impure and you may find it very difficult to centre on higher values for a longer period.
When lower energies enter a human body, they can cause illnesses and make it look ugly and sometimes deformed. The beauty of a body is really in the pure love and bright energy that expresses through it. Energies pass from generation to generation. This is in addition to inheritance through DNA. But also DNA is influenced by energies.
When you keep your body pure it also becomes more and more a perfect instrument for the spirit to work through. Your spiritual senses will work better and you will get more and more sensitive for love and energies of people and the world around you and also of the spiritual realms.
