REFLECTING UPON YOUR RESURRECTION - PART ONE

How strange it is that a Church which holds the resurrection of human life as a basic tenet of its belief should be unable to explain to its followers what exactly takes place in the act of resurrection, what scientific laws are involved, what facets of cosmic understanding are being demonstrated.


 Worshipping Blindly

The Resurrection is something which the Christian Church accepts, and worships, blindly. But, truly, like everything else which takes place on this physical plane of life there is a scientific or a cosmic law behind that happening.

You may compare the resurrection of Jesus with the resurrection of King Arthur, for both are similar, and I talk now not of Arthur of the sixth century but of the achetypal "Arthur", the Sun God of the older dispensation. In both cases there is a story which suggests that the body was removed from the physical plane of life and was carried off to another realm, there to await a suitable moment for its return. There are other recorded instances throughout history where great beings are deemed to have performed this act and you can discover them for yourselves if you care to investigate further.

Restructuring Physical Matter

It is difficult for you today to understand the restructuring of physical matter, for you do not understand the cosmic laws involved. Indeed, even the greatest and wisest of you today, when you die are not capable of restructuring your bodies and resurrecting them as did the Master Jesus and the archetypal "Arthur". The reason for this is very simple; the bodies of those great Masters are not like the bodies which you inhabit. You will never be able to resurrect your bodies in their present form, but the bodies of those great Masters contained certain elements which come from beyond the physical plane of Earth.

Your physical bodies are made completely from the matter of the Goddess, Mother Earth. Their bodies were made up for the most part from the matter of Mother Earth but they also contained certain cosmic elements which are kept in secret places on the Earth and are used by the great Masters in the construction of their bodies. Their bodies are finer, they vibrate to a higher note than yours, and therefore after death, after the release of physical life, they are able through transmutation and the understanding of cosmic law to increase the vibratory rate of their bodies to transport them from the physcial place of death.

These special elements, if I may call them as such, are capable of being removed from the physical body and are kept in waiting for the return of any great being who wishes to incarnate and use them again. Therefore when the Master Jesus died, certain elements of his body were removed from the physical plane of life and even now are stored awaiting the next cosmic being who wishes to use them to manifest on the plane of Earth.

Releasing Your Spirit

However, what I am concerned with now is the principle of resurrection, its deeper meaning for you, as individuals, as you lead your everyday lives. Just as the story of "Arthur" is a parable from which you can take inspiration, so the story of Jesus and his death can also be regarded as a parable from which you may learn certain cosmic laws and obtain an understanding of life and death and of your purpose on Earth. Resurrection literally means the rising again of the spirit, not necessarily from the dead, the rising again, the release of the spirit, for that surely is the force which brings about the resurrection.

If you are dead you cananot control your physical body and its movements: there has to be a force outside the body which can bring about the resurrection. That force is the force of spirit. You tend to think of resurrection as a movement from life to death and thence to another form of life again, but if you actually lived on one of the higher planes of life, and "died" on that plane, you could be resurrected on the physical plane of Earth!! So the movement from one plane to another is but a form through which the resurrection takes place. You resurrect onto the plane of Earth and you resurrect onto the higher planes of life after physical death.

Living In The Moment

So resurrection is a changing of structure, an act of metamorphosis, like the caterpillar becoming the butterfly, a coming forth again in a new dimension, in a new form to fulfil a new purpose. It can, and indeed often does, involve movement between the planes of life, but the form of resurrection of which I wish to talk now is the one which you may experience whilst you live on the physical plane of life. How many of you have considered resurrection not as a once and only mystical event at the end of your physical life, but as something which can happen every day of your physical lives??

Remember, death is but the release of yesterday, the release of tomorrow. To live in the moment is life, to live out of the moment is death, and from living in the moment comes the opportunity for resurrection. For if one lives in the moment, if one has disowned death, if one is not a part of it, of living in the past or living in the future, then that moment will act as a mirror to the spirit which lies within, the spirit which we have already identified as the source of resurrection.
