From a traditional perspective, Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb. We all know that story. However, a more progressive interpretation of this tale focuses on its inner meaning. From this perspective, the resurrection represents the moment of awakening to our spiritual consciousness. This awakening is the revelation of the Great I AM whose presence exists within all of us. It is who we truly are.
 
Our awareness of this inner knowing can be fleeting. However, every time we tap into this eternal and indwelling Christ-Mind, it is like a metaphorical resurrection is taking place in us. In these moments, we die as EGO driven beings and become reborn to our Spiritual nature. When this awakening occurs, it is a moment of transcendence. We temporarily break to bonds of limitation and obedience to material law. Although it can be difficult to let go of our human conditioning, our goal is to develop the discipline to align with and operate from this Divine consciousness.

This Easter Sunday, Reverend Michael Moran retells the greatest story ever told and outlines the metaphysical principles of resurrection. He will show us how the Easter story dramatically illustrates the process of transformation from crucifixion to ascension.
