One of God's challenges to us is to see past the surface. To the deeper, essential nature which lies right beneath.
Our bodies are like dustcovers.
Rip them off and see what's underneath.

-When the butterfly emerges, does the catterpillar cease to exist?
-What are you, some kind of kung-fu master?
(Bones, Season 4 - episode 7 "The He in the She".)
It's all a matter of perspective; are you really seeing what's there, or are you seeing what you believe exists.

"If you're afraid to die and you're holding on, you see devils tearing your life away.... But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."

As night descends upon the city,
the streets are cold, the lights go by.
And in the stories of the people,
a million faces, a million lies.
They'll never say they feel what you feel,
that they can see the world you see.
And in their faces, their expressions,
a million faces, a million lies.
(Chrome, by VNV Nation.)

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be.
