When Jesus said
"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it"
He did not mean physical death.
He was pointing to inner transformation.
Our lives are a compilation of perceptions, and our brain constructs reality.
But we never know reality until we wake up from the matrix.
Jesus was saying that you will find your true life and purpose when you drop the illusion of who you think you are.
Because who you think you are is shaped by this matrix, and is not reality, but a construct. A prison for your soul.
The body is the temple of the divine spark. Too many search for it far away in the sky, in religion, in institutions.
But it's always been inside you the whole time. And when you truly understand that, you will lose who you think you are, and become what you really are.
The stable voice inside you that has always looked through the lens of your eyes.
Your consciousness.
The thing inside you that has always been there if you stripped all identities, thoughts, fears (everything this matrix has built around you to imprison your mind and soul)
And that's why the truth will set you free.
