Having a strong spirit, we can control the desires of the flesh.

All such desires are cut short by the statement: the Word became flesh. It is in his sheer humanity that he is the Revealer. True, his own also see his δ_ξα (v.14b); indeed if it were not to be seen, there would be no grounds for speaking of revelation. But this is the paradox which runs through the whole gospel: the δ_ξα is not to be seen alongside the _ά_ξ as through a window; it is to be seen in the _ά_ξ and nowhere else. If man wishes to see the δ_ξα, then it is on the _ά_ξ that he must concentrate his attention, without allowing himself to fall victim to appearances. The revelation is present in a peculiar hiddenness.

The disappeared is detached from the dermis of remembering. And that is what is known as moving on.

The most holy cannibalism you can perform is to eat the flesh and blood of sagacity, and by sharing it with other wisdom thirsty cannibals.
When learning use the present moment to FOCUS on comprehension bringing the information into the flesh.
Desire, if it is to be trusted, is to be inspired by a holy vocabulary.
I am not an ape, I am a man. The world has been created by God. Man has been created by God. It is not possible for man to understand God - God understands God. Man is God and therefore understands God. I am God. I am a man. I am good and not a beast. I am an animal with reason. I have flesh, I *am* flesh, I am not descended from flesh. Flesh is created by God. I am God. I am God. I am God.
