Your body is not primitive, try becoming advanced at a complex martial art, a sport or an artisan of a beautiful craft.

Look into history at the things built with our bodies.

The only thing primitive is thinking that our bodies are not exquisite works of artistic science in this utterly beautiful universe.

Imagine a descendant of humanity fifty thousand years from now unearthing my bones and tell me I'm not primitive.

When you worship the beauty and wonder of the universe, don't forget to include the most wonderful part: the future.

While that may be true, your conscious only experiences the Now, and focusing on what other form conscious will take in the future and not enjoying what you are now could rob you of deeply experience what you already are.

One of the things I'm experiencing Now is a sense of limitless unfolding possibility for the future. Ignoring that would also rob me of a deep experience of what I have.
