Mystical? Yes, Indeed!

The “essay” that was the theme for your Bible discussion this morning was “medical” in “essence,” but as you tried to relate it to the Scriptural story you have to conclude that the mystical prevails. Right? Yes, indeed!

The essence was a medical description of what happened to My Body, when it was determined that I must be crucified. This went quite a ways beyond the Scripture rendition, at least in Luke. (Check out the others when you finish this.) The scourging left Me bloody, bleeding, and with torn flesh. The shoulder dislocations were painful, which also made the nails in My feet cause more pain. I lost blood, and it was more and more difficult to breathe.

Yet realize, importantly, that I was not trying to continue to live the earthly life that I had. I knew that the crucifixion was necessary, as the sacrifice I was to be for all of you. I acted in ways that brought about the order for death. I knew I was to die. I also knew that death had a maya quality to it. I lost something when I ceased to breathe. I gained much more. It was physically painful, but My Spirit ameliorated the suffering. I felt only what “I needed to feel.”

Medicine was certainly not sophisticated in My life time, but I wasn’t trying to stay “alive.” Apart from My dead body, I “saw” it removed from the cross and laid in the tomb. Now cometh the mystical.

My body was dead, but it was resurrected. My arms were back “in place.” My wounds were healed
( 9:11 / 9:12 ). I was fully functional again… with the nail holes in my wrist (or hands?) left as evidence that I was both the crucified and the resurrected Christ. I now had a functional body but with more mystical powers. It had to be clear that I had “overcome” death. I was The Christ before I was born, as Jesus… and became Jesus Christ. After the resurrection I was The Christ again, as I am to this very day.

Yours is a culture that strains to be logical and rational. By this perception death is not a condition you “come back from.” Hence, this “swoon theory”… I must not have been truly dead. Even today there are instances, a few, at least, where a person, with no vital signs, does return to full functioning. In some cases this is a “natural” resurrection, but, mostly, this is mystical… not explainable by what is known about physical body functioning.

I had completed My “task,” my “destiny,” as Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God. I now could return to My Mystical Self, with greater freedom to be, without the constraints of ordinary human life.

Because I did have a body, I can still appear in it, as I wish. I don’t do this often, but I did appear to your son, Peter, as he told you, and I was with him again as he left his body in that “Cady” of his. As you now know, this was a tragedy… and it wasn’t. I welcomed him back, and he was pleased. His spirit returns, occasionally, to Peter’s Park, even as he hasn’t done this obviously.

I needn’t try to explain this in rational language. It shall be quite clear and obvious when you return to the “spirit world.” It is not yet your time, but as you are anticipating, you may have just “the right amount” of earth life still to live, with enough pain to make you aware of the “coming over.” You haven’t had much pain in this life, but pain does have some spiritual value. It is part of earth life, as I want it to be.
