Do we all have our cross to carry?

On this Good Friday, it is important to remember the significance of this time of year. It represents a time for a new beginning and a spiritual renewal of our core beliefs and thoughts. The story of Jesus’ death of the body is compelling one because it let’s us know that this plane of existence is but a temporary one and that we all need to look at the larger picture of our infinite existence and everlasting life. This body we use for this playtime on earth is fleeting yet seems so real that we spend a lot of time being concerned about our time on the slide or the swing.

We can take an opportunity at this time of year to examine the thoughts and beliefs that increase our belief in separation and those that cause us to live in anger and fear. By self discovery and lowering our resistance to what life has to offer we can use this time for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Many can look at the cross that seems to represent the Christian faith and determine that it is the struggle and the death of our bodies that is the important thought this season. The symbol can and is misleading if we look to the physical plain of existence. Would it not be wonderful to view this as a time to bid farewell to the thoughts and actions we take that appear to be resistance to our completion as being of the Whole.

The beauty of this junction in our lives is that we can resurrect the idea of Oneness and decrease our resistance to the Universal Truth. We can bask in love and joy today with the knowledge that our growth is eternal. We can bring forth the abundance that is offered to us and look for the similarities of our fellow humans in this human race. The Human race is not about being first but just being One. Let us all be renewed, resurrected and rejuvenated this Easter season.
