Het is allerminst mijn bedoeling dit blog uit louter aanhalingen te laten bestaan.Maar Jane Roberts' werk inspireert mij al jaren dermate, juist als fervent (kern)beweger, dat ik het niet na kan laten hierbij nog een aanhaling te laten volgen, die voor mij alles te maken heeft met waarom ik CoreKinetics -kernbewegingsleer- zo heb genoemd.
Omdat in dit tijd-ruimte continuüm, waarin wij ons fysieke bestaan hebben, ons lichaam ons enige werkelijke thuis is.
Het eerste huis, dat wij bij onze geboorte binnengaan en dat wij bij ons fysieke verscheiden hier dood achterlaten.
Omdat in dit lichaams-thuis mijn lichamelijke kern onlosmakelijk verbonden is met mijn geestelijke kern.
'Honor your body, which is your representative in this universe.
Its magnificence is no accident.
It is the framework through which your works must come; through which the spirit and the spirit within the spirit speaks.
The flesh and the spirit are two phases of your actuality in space and time.
Who ignores one, falls apart in shambles.
The marriage of soul and flesh is an ancient contract, to be honored.
Let no soul in flesh ignore its earthly counterpart, or be unkind to its mate in time.
The mind cannot dance above the flesh, or on the flesh.It cannot deny the flesh or it turns into a demon demanding domination.
Then the voice of the flesh cries out with yearning through all of its parts; the ancient contract undone.
And both soul and flesh go begging, each alone and without partner.
Who feeds the body with love, neither starving it nor stuffing it, feeds the soul.
Who denies the body denies the soul.
Who betrays it betrays the soul.
The body is the body of the soul, the corporal image of knowledge.
As people are married to each other, so is each self wedded to its body.
Those who do not love the body or trust it do not love or trust the soul.
The multitudinous voices of the gods speak through the body parts.
Even the golden molecules are not mute.
Who muzzles the body or leashes it muzzles and leashes the soul.
Let no man set himself up above the body, calling it soiled, for to him the splendor of the self is hidden.
Let no one drive the body like a horse in captivity, to be ridden, or he will be trampled.
The body is the soul in earth-garments.It is the face of the soul turned toward the seasons, the image of the soul reflected in earth waters.
The body is the soul turned outward.
Soul and body are merged in the land of the seasons.
Such is the ancient contract by which the earth was formed.
The knowledge of the soul is written in the body.
Body and soul are the inner and outer of the self.
The spirit from which the soul springs forms both - soul and body.
In earth time, the soul and body learn together.
The genes are the alphabets by which the soul speaks the body - which is the soul's utterance in flesh.
So let the soul freely speak itself in flesh.
The body takes it out of space-time.
The body is the soul's expression, and its expression is not finite.
The spirit has many souls, and each has a body.
The body is in and out of time, even as the soul is.
Let the soul rush freely throughout the body, and breathe life into all of its parts.
The first birth was a gift, freely given.
Now you must acquiesce and give your blessing to the life within you.
Trust the spontaneity and health of the body, which is the spontaneity and health of the soul.
For each morning you spring anew, alive and fresh, out of chaos . . .'
