"The specific, meaning what you call the body, will not disappear but
it will not fascinate you anymore. You will not choose to view anything
from its standpoint anymore. And it will be your body but so will the
petal of the rose, and so will the wall, and so will the tree and so
will much more of the Kingdom of Heaven that isn't registering with you
right now be recognized by you as part of your infinite being.
Mind you, as I said, as this happens you will also be becoming aware of
the infiniteness of you and your attention will shift from body
identification, from identifying with the specificness of you and
embracing the universality of you. When this shift occurs into the
universality of you being the vantage point from which you experience
All That Is, the body won't disappear but it won't be important to you
anymore. It's in that sense that you could say your body will disappear
because it will no longer be present in the function that you had been
using as you are in this moment today."
