Attuning to the Spirit of Jesus on Easter

Today Jitka, Barbora and I stood outside in the early morning light and invited the Spirit of Jesus to be with us. We began facing east, the place of Light, and recalled the inspiration that Jesus brought, and thought of Jesus in his transcendent form. Then we turned south and thought of the fire and passion with which Jesus worked to awaken humanity, and remembered Jesus as the tireless servant. Then we turned west and thought of the blessings the he brought, of the purification of the holy waters that wash away our sins that keep us from seeing the truth. Then we turned north and remembered Jesus as the teacher, as the channel for divine law that is our foundation – the immutable, timeless guideposts to living a worthy life. We then stood close, facing each other, and remembered Jesus as he is manifest in our hearts, in every heart, and read aloud words that Jesus had spoken. Our selections were:

I am the light that shines over all things. I am everything. From me all came forth, and to me all return. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift a stone, and you will find me there.

If those who lead you say to you, "Look, the Kingdom is in the sky," then the birds will get there first. If they say "It is in the ocean," then the fish will get there first.
But the Kingdom of God is within you and outside of you.
Once you come to know yourselves, you will become known.
And you will know that it is you who are the children of the living Father.

They said to Him: "Shall we then, being children, enter the Kingdom?" Jesus said to them: "When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner and the above as the below, and when you make the male and the female into a single one, then you shall enter the kingdom."

You are the light of the world. A city set upon a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and be led to glorify your Father who is in heaven.
