Are you ready for Resurrection Sunday? (And the crowds cheer wildly – except then they realize the path they have to take before resurrection occurs.) Resurrection happens after death. Are you still as excited about it as you once were?
Resurrection was the name of a television drama series about dead people that came back to life and attempted to integrate into Arcadia, Missouri. It was based on a book by Jason Mott entitled The Returned. The first “returnee” was a young boy by the name of Jason who drowned. He was found alive in China and was returned to his parents. After the second person returned, the town was told that many others would follow. This created quite a stir within their doubt filled community.
The stir was that some people could wrap their minds around this phenomenon and others could not. There was fear about things that were not understood. And some just could not bring themselves to even be in the presence of the person who had “resurrected or changed.” When I first watched this show I began thinking of the story of Jesus and his disciples whom he visited after he rose from the grave. The reactions were very much the same. One disciple even got his name, Doubting Thomas, from the fact that he did not believe it was Jesus until he could see the nail prints in his hands and feet.
Resurrection from the dead. What does that really mean to us in Metaphysical Terms? Where is it that we as a human race have been more dead than alive? Where could we use a sense of Resurrection on this amazing planet we live on? And those of us who choose to resurrect – how will we be accepted by those who have chosen to stay in the old ways of thinking, speaking and being?
Tuesday evening, I had the pleasure of sitting with the planning team for The Spirit of Unity Festival. The fact began to dawn on me – we are saying yes to a resurrection that was planned long before any of us were ever dreamed of. This resurrection was planned among the stars and the moon and the planets. This resurrection is one of love and joy and peace. Have you heard the call? Have you felt the pull to die to the old ways of thinking and to resurrect?
Saturday April 2nd, we have the opportunity to model peace with our thoughts; we have the opportunity to model peace with our words; we have the opportunity to model peace through our actions. On April 2nd we have the opportunity to be peace with friends, neighbors, family and those that we have not met yet. We have the opportunity to model peace with persons who may not believe the same things we do. What an amazing opportunity for us to truly stand in the truth of whom we are as a community of Love – a community of Joy and a community of Peace.
We’ve even planned a “tune up” (for those of us who may need it [LOL]) on Wednesday evening March 30th
with Paradiso & Rasamayi’s Healing Concert, so that we can truly be that resonance of love, joy and peace. So let the shift begin as we Celebrate the Power of Resurrection with the assistance of our own Voices of Unity. Let’s pave the way for the week ahead, because… Did you know? Tag – You’re It! We are the ones that we have been waiting for!
Peace is the Way,
Rev. D
