Not of This Flesh is a four-part ESSOESS essay that dismantles the lie that divinity lives above the body. Across theology, culture, and resistance, it reclaims the flesh as sacred ground — the site where spirit speaks, suffers, and survives. From scarification in Ethiopia to trans embodiment, from the politics of purity to the mysticism of Tantra and Ifá, this work challenges the Western obsession with transcendence and celebrates the holiness of being fully human. It is both a sermon and a revolt — a gospel for those who have been told to shrink, cover, or repent for existing.

In the end, Not of This Flesh reminds us: salvation isn’t about escaping the body. It’s about remembering that we were divine all along.

Some journeys don’t start with a map. They begin with a feeling—an urgency, a hunger, a pull. This is about honoring the detour, trusting the timing, and letting the unknown shape you. It’s about the beauty of walking roads that twist, double back, and still somehow lead exactly where you’re meant to be. A reflection on movement, memory, and the quiet power of becoming.
