What we resist, persists. Resist the reality of your body and you will succeed in turning what could be the friendly ongoing handshake between soul and body into a rigidified grip.
Even more self-damaging is the idea that being non-physical is somehow more holy or evolved than being physical. Holiness and evolution are the result of our choices. It’s possible to make holy choices while functioning in a physical state, and unholy, desecrating-of-self choices while functioning in a physical state. Choosing holiness does not ultimately depend on whether you are embodied or not.
Confusion and misunderstanding also prompt attempts to leave behind the physical state. We note that physical objects and bodies have boundaries, so we think that physical objects and bodies are limited. Naturally, we then want to leave our "prison."
I don't think boundaries and limits are the same thing. All boundaries can shift and change, without limits.
In human religious traditions, when the boundaries of physicality change quickly, it is called a miracle.
Miracles demonstrate that physicality is capable and willing of co-operation with us. In fact, physicality basically does so on an ongoing basis, whether it's moving slowly or quickly. The co-operation between you and physicality is allowing you to read this post—your body is actively co-operating with your soul to keep you on this planet, currently in front of your computer.
Co-operation comes into its full power when both sides are co-operating. The body is always ready; we human souls, as already discussed, are often trying to escape our bodies. So our experience of co-operation is also often less than satisfactory. This situation can be changed if we decide to change it.
