"What man most passionately wants is his living wholeness and his living unison, not his own isolate salvation of his 'soul'. Man wants his physical fulfilment first and foremost, since now, once and once only, he is in the flesh and potent. For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and dead may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh, and part of the living, incarnate cosmos." -- D. H. Lawrence, Apocalypse

It would seem the last thing the world needs is another church or another religion. Are we not sated with a thousand religions, with millions of places of worship already?

Are not the differences between these thousand, in the larger picture, relatively minor? Are they not all essentially the same? Is a truly different religion possible?

We say yes.

Strip away the individualized rituals and traditions and stories from all the religions around the world, and what remains is the yearning for and worship of something which transcends our lives and bodies here on earth. This appears to be the common core to all religions.

A core that says that some part of us -- the best part -- belongs elsewhere. That our soul, our spirit, our elan vitale, or something in us, has a true home beyond this physical world. That this elsewhere, this beyond, is the fount of our value and the source of our meaning. Call it Heaven or the Realm of God or Allah, call it Valhalla or Summerland or Nirvana or Final Peace -- but there it is. It must exist. Our true source and our ultimate, hoped-for destination.

The thousand religions fight over the details. But they are just that -- details.

So then, why another religion?

Because the Church of Human Bodies is different.

It alone rejects the above. It alone returns value and meaning to earth, back to our bodies, back to us. It alone dispenses with all elsewhere and all beyond.

You will see. The Church of Human Bodies turns religion as you know it upside down.
