On the Body
The body that we have is a living
body. Mostly we were taught that the body is what we leave here when we
die. I think that is a terrible mistake. The body that we have is not a
dead body. We don’t know exactly how dead bodies come to be, but it is
absolutely clear that this body is the living body. So we need to draw
the basic concepts about “the body” from the living process.
