Spirituality and the body

There is a thing called false or fake spirituality. Jesus already talked about it when he chased the priests out of the temple. They were trying get power and material enrichment by fooling the believers.
But I am talking about those who are only trying to fool themselves.
In that case we are talking about those who want to escape from the physical reality by claiming that enlightenment is the only reality that is worth living. Enlightenment, then, means flying high above the earth while you can still have your vegetarian meal every day, drink your glass of wine and have sex from time to time when the hormones start to boil in the body.Pretending that you are a holy person, looking down on everything that is material.
They are trying to escape from the body while this body in fact is a very solid projection of your spiritual being. True spirituality means including the body.

So, instead of having the body as a point of departure to become a spiritual being, it is the other way around. We are spiritual beings that are trying to incarnate a body, we are trying to experience Life in a body. But what many of us do is running away from the body as fast as we can, or torture it as if the body is a sinful object.
But our body is a result of our spirituality. It's the jewel in the crown and we only have it for a short while to treat it well and enjoy it instead of all the suffering. Suffering makes no sense, it is stupid.
I know that most religions preach suffering but they really do not know what they are talking about, they have no idea what spirituality means, so forget them and listening to your own inner voice. Love your body.

I do not say go and abuse your body in a attempt to enjoy it, no, not at all.
As there is a inner voice, there are also inner laws, real desires instead of those that we use for compensating all our suffering. Spirituality means living in resonance with these inner laws and express them through the body.
Our crown chakra is supposed to be the gateway to spirituality but once again, the body is the jewel in this crown.
