Welcome back team, I hope you like the new Gak Find Fire. Hold fast because there is still more from him to come in the future.
For thousands of years yogi's buddhas and the like have tried to separate their physical bodies from their spiritual selves, some going so far as to totally neglect the physical nature of their being. And yet today, in the last 200 years or so, we have evolved from this to being so focussed and obsessed with how we look in our physicalness.
This focus on the physical "good" body thinking has seen an increase in dangerous fad diets, food supplements, non-foods, fashionable exercise regimes and outfits. Then there's the plastic surgery, psychiatric treatment medication and the various other dangers associated with having the "good" body conscience.
Complete bullshit of course, media/culture and society at large force young people to comply to fashion standards. They must shop for the next best at all times.
Sadly this "good" body consciousness has led to foolish young people being bullied, alienated and exploited. Further more in extreme cases, sexual abuse/misconduct, eating disorders peer pressure and the "prom queen" ideal.
How about we move away from our physical obsessions and try to look inward or spirit-ward and connect with the less tangible elements of our amazing existence? One day mass media and culture will swing to support this but more damaging effects will help to change opinions over time.
We shall see.
