Then I see there is an issue. We will never see the material body of Jesus ever again.
I would not be so sure
The post-resurrection sightings recorded in Scripture give subtle indications that are missed at first glance.
What Genesis indicates is the holistic nature of creation. The divine principle is immanent to the world in the very substance of matter while simultaneously, by virtue of Itself, utterly transcends it.
What is intrinsic to Abrahamic gnosis is the unity of formal and formless, of matter and spirit; the two are not in opposition but in union, and without that union one cannot comprehend the perfections which are intrinsic to it.
In the Transfiguration and the Resurrection, Christ reveals the spiritual nature of the flesh. In Christ this message of renewal is not merely a formula of theoretical expediency, it is a living proof, a physical, fleshly actuality, of the Principle.
Personally I am tired of this bag of bones and it animal tendencies, why would we want to stay in the matrix of this world and not to be born again in spirit , never to return to the matrix?
Because that is what we are. We have to get away from the idea that where we are is 'bad' – in one sense that is an offence against God, or at least a self-willed blindness. We are
human beings – not physical beings, not spiritual beings – but both.
The idea is not to return to it, but to transform it. When we wake up to
that message ...
Someone gives a thirsting someone a drink of water; a starving someone a crust of bread; a sickening someone an act of care; a dying someone a word of comfort; an imprisoned someone a word of hope ... every act, is the same act, it is love made flesh in act – and the angels can only stand and wonder.
Let's not run from our vocation.
