Easter
means AWAKENING to me
By Wafa Faith Hallam

As Easter approached I kept thinking of what it really meant. I kept thinking that what Jesus really wanted
his flocks to retain from it was quite different from what the religious
doctrine named after him, which was stuck in ancient thinking, continued to preach.
Easter, the most important
and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrates the resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
But what is Resurrection, if not Rebirth? What is it for us today if not AWAKENING to
our Higher Self, our Pure Consciousness?
On television in the last few days, the constant depiction
of Jesus’ suffering and the fixation on his crucifixion and sacrifice are the
fundamental message: Jesus accepted his
horrific death because he wanted to show men the extent of God’s love. His suffering was not only to establish a new
Covenant between God and his people, but to absolve the whole of humanity and
not just a select few from their sin. And their sin was their belief that they
were separate from God and not one with him. That the bloodied Cross became the
symbol of the faith is telling. And yet,
Jesus never once spoke of himself as being the Crucifixion.
His
words were “I am the Resurrection and the Life.”
Even though I am not a Christian, and not a scholar of the
Holy Scriptures, I see Jesus as one of the greatest embodiments of God’s Love on
Earth and the symbol of our awakening to our eternal and divine nature. His message was
universal and unifying and never exclusive. I believe that human evolution and its
conscious expansion will inevitably lead us to that state. Beyond the religious dogma, many of us Spiritual
But Not Religious seekers (SBNR) wish to establish that true faith and the
belief that pure consciousness is nothing but pure love.
And
Pure Love will save humanity from
its long state of suffering.
Amen and Happy Easter to all!
