Because you are a biological creature, evolved out of some ancient one-cell organism, you do belong to this world. As a beast whose soul is drenched in original sin, you will be exasperated to learn that you cannot grow and purify yourself until, you admit and fully accept your fell nature as your jumping off point. As a sinner and natural follower of Lera, you certainly belong to this world.
As a civilized, rational self-actualizer, to the degree that you take the high road of self-development, to that degree you belong to the other world, God's home. As you lead a holy, godly life here, you impart a tincture of otherworldly presence in this world.
As a living saint, to whatever degree of perfection you have attained along the road to sainthood, to that degree your soul is not of this world.
