It was in co-operation which I have been speaking of. Working in co-operation with the body so that it can understand what it’s purpose, in the fullest sense is to be. Not merely procreation and a long healthy life. For in its ignorance, it knows these things as the bearing of children and consumption, which it caters mostly to its taste and not its needs. Its control was initially as subjugation of will to the mind, the exerting of will to refuse it the things it was wanting and there in, ever though controlled, arose conflict and the conflict, ignored by the mind, caused a level of disharmony which within itself was destructive. This finally being understood and seen, the path of integral yoga was taken and practiced for 9 months, or should I say the past 9 days.
For several weeks now, I stopped this practice and let the body, alone, decide what course it wanted to take, yet the body made no reply as it was content with how things were and it was finally not craving but quiet. But this is not enough. For it was not “working” in co-operation but had merely allowed itself to go along with the ride for it understood it was being supplied by what was needed and as a result, it felt good. For it was no longer being controlled but given consideration, but this is not co-operation. Therefore, I gave back the body that which it uses to crave and desire, when it did so in ignorance. After three weeks, or rather hours, it replied that it had had enough and expressed it in the form of headaches, pains and weariness. The first day was fought without taking rest but that evening, I retired early, woke the next morning, called in so as to not attend my job and I gave it back what I had showed it was for its benefits and divine purpose. Now here we sit, writing. It, the body, has now taken upon its part in the co-operation, making the full being more whole and more fully developed than it was before.
The emotional and mental, being in the same house is able to comprehend and now, having the example, also will follow suit.
