Resurrecting Today and Every Day

Next door to my condo complex is a Catholic church whose bells chime every hour on the hour.

I have the opportunity to stop whatever I am doing throughout the day and breathe, pray, or give thanks.

Today is Easter.

I am aware the congregation is celebrating the highlight of the Christian/Catholic year. Today is the day that Jesus the Christ has risen from the dead. Literally, this is a fantastic story. A dead man returning to walk amongst the living.

Metaphysically this is a powerful teaching. In the metaphysical story, we are all personalities or people in the Bible. We are Mary who gives birth to Jesus. We are Joseph, the father, who says yes to a vision in deep faith. We are Jesus, born man, who through devotion to that which is Invisible becomes born into Christ (the anointed one). We are the disciples who are in and on the spiritual marketing team. We are Judas who betrays our own inner divinity, and we are those who throw the rocks stoning the human and rise from physical association into the Eternal Life from which we’ve always lived.

As believers, Jesus and the Easter story is an historical story. As a metaphysician, Easter is an internal event of rising above circumstances into the One — the emphasis is on the Internal. We have moved from external and in time to internal and timelessness.

As a mystical realization, Easter is the awareness of the Presence as All there Is. Birthing and dying in Its form all of the time. We stand witness to these shifts in the immense gratitude of the Good and Glory that continues to be made new to and through us. This is awe-invoking beautiful.
