My body disappeared because I had no illusion about it. The last one had
gone. It was laid in the tomb, but there was nothing left to bury. It
did not disintegrate because the unreal cannot die. It merely became
what it always was. And that is what “rolling the stone away” means. The
body disappears, and no longer hides what lies beyond. It merely ceases
to interfere with vision. To roll the stone away is to see beyond the
tomb, beyond death, and to understand the body’s nothingness. What is
understood as nothing must disappear.
I did assume a human form with human
attributes afterwards, to speak to those who were to prove the body’s
worthlessness to the world. This has been much misunderstood. I came to
tell them that death is illusion, and the mind that made the body can
make another since form itself is an illusion. They did not understand.
But now I talk to you and give you the same message. The death of an
illusion means nothing. It disappears when you awaken and decide to
dream no more. And you still do have the power to make this decision as
I did.
God holds out His hand to His Son to
help him rise and return to Him. I can help because the world is
illusion, and I have overcome the world. Look past the tomb, the body,
the illusion. Have faith in nothing but the spirit and the guidance God
gives you. He could not have created the body because it is a limit. He
must have created the spirit because it is immortal. Can those who are
created like Him be limited? The body is the symbol of the world. Leave
it behind. It cannot enter Heaven. But I can take you there any time
that you choose. Together we can watch the world disappear and its
symbol vanish as it does so. And then, and then — I cannot speak of
that.
A body can not stay without illusion
and the last one to be overcome is death. This is the message of the
crucifixion; There is no order of difficulties in miracles. This is the
message of the resurrection: Illusions are illusions. Truth is true.
Illusions vanish. Only truth remains.
These lessons needed to be taught but
once, for when the stone of death is rolled away, what can be seen but
an empty tomb? And that is what you see who follow me into the sunlight
and away from death, past all illusions, on to Heaven’s gate, where God
will come Himself to take you home.
~Jesus Christ~
