The Easter Bunny rides again! 2024 version.
The thirteenth disciple rides again!
The famous 13th disciple is resurrected every year for this special occasion.
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 typical human being sees far more dead, than living, people because of an excess or unholy attachment to a wounded past, their wayward judgments and a lack of awareness of the bounty and beauty of the present moment. A life stuck in that dark, unhealed past is a life continuing to be lived in the grave.
.
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 human suffering, and their 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. Either we find our own resurrection, or Jesus’s story remains just background noise for the parade of unhealed humanity.
..
In truth, there are no spiritual superheroes who are going to suffer for us, though some find it worthwhile and comforting to adore and to worship cultural myths about such beings.
.
Who says the days of Idolatry are over?
.
Step right up, those adults who are finally ready to accept personal responsibility for their lives.
.
We all need a real hero—we need the superpowers and freedom of our real, liberated self. There is an often ignored or neglected life within us that needs to awaken and blossom into its own unique fullness.
.
Display those wounds without shame and fear, as hiding from our humanity is not our path. The real miracle is to stop denying our woundedness, and then find the courage to face them, show them to the world, and heal from them. The world, the family, the culture will continue to perpetuate the conspiracy of silence around its responsibility for our wounding, and the wounding of others. They will continue to try to control the world, and their families, with their unyielding minds, and unforgiving hearts. They would rather die than offer up any amends to those they have harmed, and bring positive lasting change to themselves..
.
Many church goers are sincerely interested in their own spiritual health, and in the health of their family members.
.
We all know far too many who aren’t, however. You can’t support and follow Donald Trump and love God and Truth at the same time, PERIOD. Which lost gospel of Christianity makes Donald Trump OK? These bible thumping Trump followers are the true lost souls.
..
We need not join in their collective chorus of self-righteousness, ignorance, stupidity, and denial.
..
.Family has often betrayed, wounded, and even spiritually crucified us. That burial stone can become those belligerant or unconscious family members who continue their self and or other destructive behaviors while depriving us of our right to light and love.
.
With insight and healing, we all can push that stone away, and rise unto the true glory of our highest nature.
..
And then shake the dust off of our feet, and move on.
..
This week, and all weeks, those fortunate enough to have good health, a family, friends, a job or economic sufficiency can have a heightened appreciation for the true joy of healing, a 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 their own wounds, and ongoing economic, societal, familial, and/or medical traumas and insecurities.
.
And don’t forget to feed the Easter Bunny!
.
Umm, they like to give what they want to receive, so give generously back to the source, OK?.
