Life itself is a crucifixion. Each of us is, as Yeats said, "fastened to a dying animal." We are nailed to the spot, on the cross of space and time. We die, time and again, from this agony; a series of "little deaths" followed at some point by full bodily death.
And yet there is a resurrection. We may "die daily" as Paul said, but we are also born again each moment. More than that, when we turn within, turn to the inner Light and cast our fortunes with this Light, we identify with (become identical to) the Light which births us. We are a new bunny. We are the cosmic egg.
Nailed to the cross of life, we die, descending into the hell of our existence and blessing all there. We rise up. No longer identifying with the body (the tomb is empty), we open into the Light and Radiance of the resurrected Spirit we are.
This is the message of Easter, a reminder and reaffirmation of Transformation.

Thank you.
ReplyDeleteheard a new definition of crucifixion @ Unity yesterday - the crosses (negative internal messages) that we all carry around that negate who we really are: the Light & Life that Jesus came to reveal. so, lay down the crosses, old beliefs, & rise up, be transformed!
ReplyDeleteworks for me, a new bunny, that's sweet, thanks George:)
