What gives you form?
To some, the obvious answer is that matter gives you form. But the obvious answer is the wrong answer. Mind, not matter, gives form.
Sometimes we feel uncomfortable about the size and shape we come in. Too much weight. Not enough weight. Just the right weight—but in the wrong places! And so we may attempt to adjust matter to put ourselves at ease about our body. But if we really want to be more comfortable about our form, we need to understand more about God and our relationship to Him.
God is Mind. He is ever-present, divine consciousness. In truth, man is the expression of pure consciousness. Because Mind is Spirit, man's true being is spiritual. Mind is cause. Man is effect.
