To see all things from flesh requires a life of severe limitations.  You are at the mercy of everyone else’s desire.  You live in fear of your own feet and hands.  If you swallow you may choke.  You must conform to survive.  It is a life lead in utter hopelessness.  And you find only strength enough to survive.

Your belly dictates your day.  Sleep interrupts your productivity.  Pleasure is your god; a god of complete unpredictability.  One day you want this.  Another day you want that.  And most days you find yourself craving things that contradict one another.  At the same time you are enticed to things you cannot have.

With life so full of demands, and your body so inept to provide, you are helplessly tossed in every direction without the slightest recourse.  Full and irreparable destruction awaits you if illness attends your days.

If someone says to you, “We must!”, you are forced to obey or pay dreadful consequences.  Nothing in life is for you.  Everything and everyone is against you.  You must consume to survive.  While billions are forced to do the same.  Your only resource is lies.  “I deserve and need this!  Stand away from my desire!  I am more important than you!”

With all of this against you, you submit.  But submission is not what your god demands.  “Conquer for me.  Supply my desire.  I am your god you will do my bidding or you will die.” 

What hope is there then?  You cannot please yourself and you cannot please your god.  He does not supply.  Yet he demands all.  You can barely supply for yourself on certain days of your life.  Why would you continue to serve in such a life?

All the while you struggle in a futile embrace with poverty and death, there is a hope you have ignored.  Some have even considered their god to be the living God.  How should they conclude otherwise?  It is all they know and they do not look for more.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  (Matthew 11: 28-30)

Ask of us and we will tell you what it is like to live outside the body.  With all that presses upon you why would you let pride stop you from asking?  Why would you let ignorance stand in the way?

We stand among you and testify that there is a life of freedom from oppression.  And if you are not able to swallow your pride, then read for yourself.

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.  (John 7)
