Jesus' Death and Resurrection

Jesus' Death and Resurrection
*******

Christ "resurrected himself" because he never really died. He just shifted form, from an apparently "material" form into a "spiritual" form. The "material, physical, and external" world is all the Mind, as is the spiritual world. So, at death, the enlightened leaves nothing behind but one "psychoholographic" world to enter another.

The mystical classic Bhagavad-Gita says that death is like changing clothes. As Jesus resurrected himself to enter the parallel universe called the "Homeworld," this is also exactly what we all do. We continue to participate actively in our lives after "death."

But, with the resurrection to immaterial Soul-life, Jesus had a special need. For he came here to demonstrate to the world that death is a survivable experience. There is life after death.

So, his special need was to materialize at least one "physical" body. On the road to Emmaeus, the disciples did not at first recognize him. So, it is possible that he materialized a body in a different form than the one he had used in his personal incarnation. But when Thomas touched his hands, he had apparently used the same body, for it still bore the marks of Crucifixion.

These bodies were only "semi-physical." He was able to walk through walls, for example, and, when he was finished, he was able to lift it into the air, into the clouds. (This is all provided that the Gospel accounts, and those of Acts, were historical, and not merely allegorical.)

Being the incarnation of the One, he was the embodiment of Love. He was also in "perfect control" of his life and his death. Paradoxically, this "perfect control" arose because he had, in Love and faith, "let go" of everything, in fullest trust of the "Father" (his highest spiritual Self). Living totally free of all anxiety, which he forbade in the "Sermon on the Mount," he lived a life of full faith, a life of actions initiated by the interior Spirit of Love. That is why he said, after all his busy life and activity, "I do nothing." For the Father of grace was doing all the work through the man Jesus.
