Years ago I read from a medical intuitive named Carloyn Myss an explanation of the story that gave me addition insights on how to view the cross experience. I find it helpful to see the life of Jesus as a template for what is possible in living your divinity. In this template, everyone will have examples of experiences that test how you will respond to some of the more dramatic events in Jesus life. I will just comment on a few: 1. Lets start by saying Jesus was pursuing his life mission and showed us how to overcome obstacles along the road and how to face our fears in the face of incredible chaos and struggle in a time when very few had the emotional or intellectual capacity to understand what ei was symbolizing. 2. Jesus was often misunderstood and often alone in his understanding of matters so he was continually educating and preaching to increase vibrational consciousness. He did not let this sabottage his mission. 3. Jesus vibration was so elevated that he was able to see the big picture and everyone's role without judgment and still hold unconditional love for all. Very few humans have been able to do this. 4. Jesus knew he would be betrayed and he responded with love. All of us has had the betrayal experience in our lives; how many of us can forgive unconditionally? 5. Jesus was abandoned by his closest allies and was all alone in the garden, and was denied being known by his friends that could help him, but he keep to his plan. All of us has experienced this in our lives but how many of us have continued on without judgment and self doubt and blame etc. for what is going on in our lives and not feeling like we are being persecuted. 6. Jesus endured terrible suffering and near the end broke down and asked "why me" but recovered because he understood the bigger plan and moved on to ascend to a higher state. This is also our lesson symbolically. When we think we are being persecuted unfairly can we move on and rise above and carry through to achieve our divine path; or will we fall short? Jesus life was a model on how to overcome and show unconditional love and take claim to our divinity. God created man in his own image and Jesus said; these things and greater shall thou do. That is what the cross means to me. This is a very powerful story on the symbolic nature of the cross and passion event.
