THE IMPERSONAL SELF
Keys To Effective Spiritual Treatment

Begin to be consciously aware that the body, and all that happens to the body—good and bad—is impersonal.
   The body of belief, the good or bad body which isn't yet experienced as its spiritual truth, is nothing but the collective concept of the body. It isn't your concept and it isn't mine; it's nothing but the collective idea or belief about what “body” is.
    Because of our collective belief in the existence of both good and bad, the body can (if we're unwittingly receptive to it) collect the ills, diseases and injuries of that belief. These beliefs and their forms are never personal because there is no personal self, and if no personal self, no personal belief.
    So do you see that as we live with the collective sense or concept or belief of the body, things (good or bad) happening to that sense of body (good or bad) have nothing to do with us personally? They are not produced by us, and they are not happening to us, or in us but are collective experiences unwittingly accepted by us.
