5. Flesh is Flesh
It still seems to me that such a study is only concerning itself with behavior in this world of flesh.

Look at one human sub-group or another, still behavior in this world, in bodies of flesh.

Whatever the nature of the body really is, it isn't the nature of spirit and knowledge. Living beings here in this world, contend with flesh and ignorance.

To be bound by sexual and other desires, is bondage. To be bound by religious rules of abstinence of this kind or another, is bondage.

When someone discovers the fullness that humanity can be, within them, they are less bound, they begin to know something about themselves and about the silliness of these worldly and bodily conditions and worldly religious authorities, and they can see and know and act more in accord with that good and spiritual reality that can shine upon souls.
