How do you rise from dead matter?

Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Cast aside the gross cares of earth. 

Throw off the material bonds that bind and clog your spirit. 

Rise from dead matter to living spirit―from earthly care to spiritual love―from earth to heaven.

Emancipate your spirit from earthly cares, which are earth-born and unspiritual. 

Cast aside the material and the physical and rise from engrossing interest in the worldly to a due appreciation of spiritual truth.
