We as a society seem to focus on the gross body.
The external.
This becomes painfully apparent when it comes to aging.
ANTI-AGING.
Resistance, denial.
Consumed with our gross body.
The natural order of things is change.
And with aging the change that is evident to most happens to the physical body.
Any change or transformation to the subtle body seems to get lost, buried in denial.
And yet the changes to the subtle body can be wonderful and magnificent.
Wisdom, patience, sense of self.
Changes to be celebrated.
But this is not something we tend to do as a culture.
So we avoid, deny, and seek out all possible means to halt the aging process.
Is it our fear of mortality that drives our denial and endless search for youth?
Or is it our unbalanced attention on how we look rather than who we are?
