You're a Tool

[Max Power]

You're a tool!

And that's a good thing, because realising your body is a tool and your physical reality is a system where you control that tool, then it's all good. When the tool thinks it's in control, usually everything is out of control, when the operator of that tool is in control, amazing things happen.

Have you ever had an idea that solved a probelm really well and the solution just popped into your head? What about when a really cool coincidence happened and you say "wow! how did I do that?" Both those things are you supplying the tool with the means to interact within the system and the system is physical reality.

Until you accept that your body is just a tool for manifestation and that reality is a system for that tool to work within, you will always think your real identity is the tool and all tools think they do the work (such is the delusion of thinking you're a tool) but they never really do anything accept react to the instructions of the operator.

Your real identity is the operator, would could say consciousness, but that sounds so mystical and omnipresent. You are the operator of the tool, but because you love your tool so much, you identify with it, but it's just a tool for you to give instructions to manifest things within the system, your physical reality.

The operator (your real self/identity) always remains out of sight, but you are always in control but for some reason you get a little lazy and let the tool work by itself and when that happens it usually makes a mess and then the operator has to jump in and fix it, usually when things are at their worst.

A good operator knows it's in control of the tool, it loves the tool and loves to create with the tool but it also knows that the tool doesn't create anything, it simply obeys instructions.

Max.....I'm a tool and I love it!!

I agree with the the whole physical body is just a tool of the spiritual concept, but I believe that my "real" identity is much more than the operator. To identify myself with something (again), in this case the operator, I am still deluding myself that the real "I" can be defined in some way. Identifying myself as the operator is just like identifying myself as the tool.

But great post, thank you.

The operator is really the only conscious being, but most can't step back that far and see the whole overview, so it's easier for most to work from a point of reference that is more localised.

Instead of trying to accept that the operator is the creator of everything in awareness and therefore god, it's a little easier to work from being the operator of just the tool (this human body in it's localised physical reality) that way it's easier to accept and work from that localised POV.
