How easy it was to follow the direction of a new teacher (Drunvalo) to return once again into my heart and find Jesus there waiting for me.\u00a0 I just re-read my blog entry of <a href=\"http:\/\/batesonline.org\/triciablog\/mar-22-15\/\">3-22-15 \u2018Overlook<\/a>\u2019, a lesson on rising above to accept the pain and joy in life with equal empathy and not with indifference.<br \/>\nI began to tingle as I read my entry &#8211; there is an answer here to the current question of my mind.\u00a0 I must bring these ideas back to Jesus.<br \/>\nI believe he knew what was to come.\u00a0 The human part of him had learned to surrender all to the path that revealed itself each day.\u00a0 He stepped forward accepting each opportunity to be the expression of God, the Truth about the Universe.\u00a0 And yet he was a man.\u00a0 Perhaps, for one day he was asked to be a man \u2026 to make sacred the pain and suffering that physical life offers to All That Is.<br \/>\nTo Overlook.\u00a0 To be elevated in your awareness that All is sacred.\u00a0 God created All.\u00a0 God is All.\u00a0 And, every experience is an experience that contributes to the wonder of the Whole.<br \/>\nI could not resolve in my mind that Jesus could have come out of alignment and then suffered death at the hand of humanity, that he could have had a bad day.\u00a0 This morning I was given the realization that as God, he was All, could choose All, be the expression of All including the horrors of physical life.\u00a0 He overcame death.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cDying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nHow many times I repeated this Eucharistic prayer during Catholic mass &#8211; little did I know what these words represented? He walked through the valley of death and found power and glory on the other side.\u00a0 He is teaching us to release our fear of death, it cannot take away the well-being of God, All That Is.<br \/>\nJesus lives!<br \/>\nI think today I might have also resolved another question of my mind regarding Jesus. That question is the belief of many of Jesus as God. \u00a0I understand Jesus as God as I am God, as we are both part of All That Is. \u00a0But, these ideas today of Jesus rising higher to &#8216;overlook&#8217; and experience both the highs and lows, the manifested and unmanifested, fill me with awe.<br \/>\nThank you Lord for always being with me even when my mind is keeping you at arms length.\u00a0 Please stay in my heart, I will always find my way back home to you.<br \/>\nHallelujah!<br \/>\n<em>\u201cWhen I said \u2018I am with you always\u2019 I meant it literally.\u00a0 I am not absent to anyone in any situation.\u00a0 Because I am always with you, you are the way, the truth and the life.\u201d ~ ACIM Text-7.
