Your soul wants to take over your body, but you have to detach from the program that's in control. That program is the ego; an operating system that you were born with. It has free will and is born with a blank memory. It is nothing but a mind of circuitry, connected to the body by your emotions. This is your subconscious. It’s not really you, its just an operating system for your body - like Windows 11.
The program is formatted by time and language. It has been programmed by your culture and life experiences. To awaken and allow the true self to control the body, one must learn how to override the program - Christ taught this in parables. He had to use parables because this knowledge was forbidden.
We are in a new age, Gnosis is coming back to humanity. Use the new energy that's coming in (light) to decipher the old works and learn what they were actually trying to teach us. You are seeing truths coming out every day now; it is excelerating.
Entertaining ideas, concepts, and even what could be misinformation is healthy and intelligent - it doesn’t mean that you must accept them. Learn how to discern. Go deep down the rabbit hole - it’s deeper than you can possibly imagine; in fact, your mind isn’t capable of understanding it. This is why you must break the mind.
Dig deeper, learn the meanings of these verses:
Matthew 6:22: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Revelation 11:4: These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
..."turn away from the body and the material world..."
