Our bodies have a mind, you know.
They’re not ignorant.
They’re not just clay for your brain to manipulate.
If you’re thinking that your mind is 100% in charge
Of your body, back up Baby, because it’s not so.
Just try thinking your blood pressure into low.
Just try thinking your heart rate into slow.
Just try thinking your fat into go.
Sometimes, it’s true, you can think your hypothalamus into cooling you down,
But you’ll never think your lungs into not breathing.
Just try holding your breath
Until your body shuts your mind down.
You hit the floor,
Then you start breathing while unconscious.
No mind involved.
Bodies are genetically predisposed
To handle the environment into which they are born.
If the mind takes them into a different environment,
The bodies are like water, able to modify,
Go with the flow, and acclimate.
So, if you’re unhappy about the particular body you’ve chosen,
Put on your cowboy hat and do your best to enjoy the ride.
It’s evidently time to learn to change your mind to suit your body.
Because, you see, there are no accidents.
You selected this body to be one of your teachers
Until you graduate.
