Re-framing the Resurrection

John Cali

Either all things die, or else they live and cannot die. No compromise is possible.

A Course in Miracles

As most of you know, Christian churches celebrated Easter last Sunday. This was always a big celebration in my Italian immigrant family. But you don’t have to be Christian to celebrate the resurrection, the miracle of Easter. For me, the lesson and miracle of Easter is we never die—life is eternal.

Spirit

Some of your spiritual traditions celebrate Easter as a time of resurrection, rebirth. But every day, not just Easter Sunday, is a day of rebirth. You can even be reborn every time you take a new breath.

This is a time of change, of rebirth, of resurrection on your planet. Despite the seemingly traumatic and tragic events so obvious to all of you, a huge reawakening is happening right under your noses, as you say.

Time, as you have known it, is shifting, contracting and expanding in seemingly mysterious ways. Many are experiencing unusual symptoms and feelings in your physical bodies, often in the form of apparent illness. You are experiencing dramatic, often difficult shifts in other areas of your lives—your relationships, your work, everything you hold near and dear.

Many changes are afoot. Allow yourselves to flow with the changes with total acceptance. This is truly the dawn of a new age. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Your resurrection is at hand.

Actually, your own personal resurrection has already happened. As one of Johnny’s favorite A Course in Miracles passages says, you are still as God created you. That means you are pure, unsullied and perfect just as you are right now.

So we’d like to re-frame the resurrection here. It is not what many of your spiritual traditions teach. It is who you are right here, right now.
