Bodies

Bodies are working 24-7 on their own. The animal brain controls most of your body's survival activities. Breathing, circulation, digestion, elimination. All this is happening without your constant monitoring and control. The mind chooses to tune in to this activity. This is the basic disconnect of being human. Another species' behaviors are determined by its body without interference from the frontal lobe. With the gift of intelligence comes the burden of responsibility. If a human is irresponsible to his/her body, disease follows. Obesity, addiction and self-harm are products of the individual's lack of responsibility to his/her body. All responsibility begins with responsibility for and to one's own body. The daily practice of personal responsibility includes cleanliness, proper diet, exercise and adequate sleep. Evolution of the mind is dependent on the proper development and maintenance of the body.
