IS THE FLESH LOWER THAN THE SPIRIT?

JOHN - PEACE BE WITH YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION - THERE ARE
VARIOUS SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON THIS, PRIMARILY SOME FOLKS THINK THAT
EVERYTHING THAT IS BEST IS SPIRITUAL, STRICTLY NON CORPOREAL; THAT ALL
THINGS OF THE FLESH ARE LOWER BY NATURE.
BUT IN THE SCHOOL I BELONG TO, ALL THINGS CREATED ARE ALSO GOD. THE
FLESH AND MATERIAL THINGS ARE MANIFESTATIONS OF GOD EQUAL WITH GOD. IT
IS ONLY THE TAINTED MIND, LOOKING AT THE CREATION WITH DIRTY LENSES OR
LENSES THAT ARE NOT SPIRITUAL IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING.
MY HOLY TRINITY IS GOD THE MOTHER, GOD THE CREATION, AND GOD THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
YOU MUST REALIZE THAT GOD IS WHOLLY AND FULLY PRESENT IN EVERY BIT OF
NATURE, AND THEREFORE, IT IS SACRED.
MUCH LOVE, RASA

Rasa, I appreciate your illustrations. One of the
disadvantages of the Muslim world is that divine and
human representations are usually frowned upon.
Europeans have been able to depict Jesus and Mary, the
saints, and even the Creator, who can be depicted as a
female as you have done in your most prominent
illustration. I like it!
