Be not so concerned with "your" life and "your" body. Follow the essence that animates the body and every form. Without consciousness there cannot be an experience of a body or a life and prior to consciousness is essence. 

This essence is. 

It animates all existence. It is prior to form and consciousness. It is what you are. It is what everything is. Essence is form and formlessness. There is no separation, there is no duality.

Who and what you are in the phenomenal world can only be described and experienced from consciousness. Witness the world of form from consciousness as essence. 

There is no greater knowledge than this.
