Not of This Flesh

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.
