Do
you remember when OUT SIDE us was real and IN SIDE was,
well we did not
know what it was. Yes, we did know. OUT SIDE us was real. No one talked
about IN SIDE us as being REAL. Inside
us were organs, bones, cells,
and blood, but they were not sentient. WE were our body! INSIDE our body
was what kept our body alive.
Our aura was outside of us, and everything, religious, spiritual or
multidimensional (a term we had not heard of) was outside of us. We
believed that we were our body and all the spiritual/religious elements
of our lives were
outside of us and, usually,
far above us. WE were only our body.
We had been taught that our
inside was not important. Besides, our
outside/real
self was so busy trying to survive that we had little TIME to search
for an inner essence. If we were very good, then we might be able to
pray to Heaven far above us to ask for help. Then, when we
died, we
could go outside of our bodies and travel far UP to Heaven where God
lived far, far, above us.
