The thirteenth disciple rides again!
Happy Easter to those who believe in the Easter Bunny, the risen Jesus, or whatever fact, mythology, or fantasy that keeps your spiritual row boat floating merrily and peacefully down the stream!
I believe in the spiritual potential for all of us!
The famous 13th disciple is resurrected every year for this special occasion.
Memory resurrects the dead from moment to moment. The typical human being sees far more dead, than living, people because of an excess or unholy attachment to a wounded past, and a lack of awareness of the bounty and beauty of the present moment.
Today is a good reminder to resurrect ourselves from the tomb of our wounded memories.
This moment is enough.
When a spiritually inspired being no longer plays by the rules of societal and religious indoctrination, a new life may be revealed through the full embrace of one’s human suffering, and ultimate liberation from it..
Push that stone of resistance away, our new Easter sunrise awaits!
Jesus’s resurrection has value only to the extent that we fully embrace our own potential for transformation.
.
In truth, there are no spiritual super heroes who are going to suffer for us, though some find it worthwhile to adore and to worship cultural myths about such beings. We all need a real hero—we need the freedom of our real self.
.
There is only a life that needs to awaken and blossom into its own unique fullness..
Display those wounds without shame and fear, hiding from our humanity is not our path.
.
We all have, or have had, an enormous “stone” or trauma that we need to recognize keeps us entombed. With insight and healing,we all can push that stone away, and rise unto the true glory of our highest nature. A life stuck in a dark, unhealed past is a life continued to be lived in the grave.
.
This week, and all weeks, those fortunate enough to have a job or economic sufficiency can have a heightened appreciation for the true joy of peaceful connection with each other, and with our Mother Earth. We will need to be prepared to give greater service to those who will remain entombed within economic, societal, familial, or medical insecurities..
