Body consciousness

body consciousness

"Body consciousness" is the normal consciousness of being a body which has (or has not, according to some non-BK beliefs) a soul, as opposed to soul consciousness. The thought of one's self as a mortal physical body and all that stems from that.

Body consciousness is seen by BKs as an inversion of the proper state of being, degraded and dirty. They strive to replace it with soul consciousness at all times.

It has none of the modern connotations of body awareness as related to health and well being.
