A human is dualistic in nature. Here is always this or that. To be crucified means to be caught, suspended, nailed between all dualities, experiencing them all simultaneously, burning with the fire of this experience. The Self feels it all, whereas the self wants only one side of it, pleasure and no pain, honor and no dishonor, heat and no cold, cold and no heat, ad infinitum. To feel it all is suffering, is to be on fire, is crucifixion. One rises beyond all opposites, simultaneously conquers hell and ascends to heaven. Neither heaven nor hell exist. Only this. The Self is born once again. The ladder of duality disappears and one is whole.

Obviously you popped in on my day through the ethers, G! Thx so much for the inspiration and alternate view - think I can start breathing again.
