CONSIDER THIS...
''This Can APPLY, Now, If You LOVE?''
---The Cross, The Death , and the Resurrection are very practical in our daily lives. It can be seen this way.The cross we bear, so to speak, is living as we ''think'' we are or should be, as opposed to who in reality we really are without all the ''thinking.'' It is very much a burden to our minds and our selves to be living this way, though many, many people spend their time like this. Our egos run the show. We are so busy competing and comparing ourselves with everyone else, that we don't know who or what we really are. We get lost in the shuffle somehow.
---The Death we experience is one, then, of the ego. It is a great tool, but is a situation we deal with as we live our lives. We grow as our ego diminishes, but it is a process. This is also a Spiritual Truth and I think it is very important. The death we experience is an ego-death and a lettlng go of the things of the ego. In other words, the thing that we usually call our self diminishes as we grow into our godness or Christness. We transform as we go. We become what we truly are, our Spiritual self or Self. In this way we stop ''interfering'' with the ''Natural'' process of Life which is DEATH to LIFE. An acorn dies to become an oak tree. In this way we live more fully.
---We next move into the Resurrection phase. It is when we live our lives free, free of the constraints of the ego. This is what Jesus meant when he said that ourself diminishes as the Christ grows larger in our lives. The Kingdom Of LOVE iS ''truly'' Within. Be Well.
