hey bbb,

i love your humor. i do agree with you the body as represented by the ego/conscious mind should not ever be in control but that happens because of the way existence in this 3d experience is constructed. the analogy of the auto is used because like mark pointed out it is something that some people can relate to quite easily. it is offered as simply a help for some who are struggling to clearly see how that what is tugging at their heart strings can truly be correct. i know from my experience that it was a tough spot to get through, the repudiation of the idea that i was the physical body and the personality that had been formed by my conscious mind/ego. i figure if it was a struggle for me then it will be a struggle for somebody else and maybe if i throw what helped me out there they will have less of a struggle than i did.

as for being abusive to the physical body, that happens as well in this 3d existence. there were times when i was younger that this body caught a fair amount of abuse. i don't know how much prior generations may have been disrespectful to their physical bodies but from my generation on i can say with a fair amount of authority that there are certain years during the growing up/maturing process that it does catch "hell".
