Easter- Celebrating the Christ and the Gift of Life

I will write about the current period and what it means for us as spiritual beings.

Christ Perspective of Easter is not the Same as that of Traditional  Christianity

Traditional religions view this period from a dualistic perspective.

The dualistic mind views the crucifixion of Jesus in the same way that Peter did when answered to the Master -as something that should not have happened, and that should have been avoided by a merciful and 'just' God.

But let’s pay attention to Master Jesus answer to Peter: «Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man." (Matthew 16:23).

Why did Master Jesus give this answer to a presumably worried disciple? The answer, as we can see from the words recorded in the Bible, is simple. Peter was seeing the fulfilment of Jesus' mission with the outer self’s eyes.

As Master Jesus said, he was «setting his mind in things of man, not God’s things.»

Why did Master Jesus give this answer to a presumably worried disciple? The answer, as we can see from the words recorded in the Bible, is simple. Peter was seeing the fulfilment of Jesus' mission with the outer self’s eyes.

As Jesus said, Peter was setting his mind on the things of men, not the things of God.

From the perspective of 'man's eyes', what seems 'best' or 'fair' is not the same as what Christ sees.

In order to fulfil his mission, Jesus had to allow his physical body to die. By doing so, he showed us that we must choose which master to serve: Christ or the 'prince of this world' and its dualistic concepts and patterns defined on Earth.

I would like to share some words expressed by Mother Mary at a conference some time ago: as spiritual students, we will also face situations where we will be 'unjustly accused', as Master Jesus did at the end of His mission.

I also recall words spoken by Master Jesus at a recent conference in March 2026, when he said, 'The Christ remains neutral; he does not defend himself.'

Why should we remember the words of Master Jesus when we are celebrating Easter symbolically and living in challenging times?

The simplest answer is that, as spiritual students, we must shift our focus from the external self that judges everything that happens according to earthly standards defined by a dualistic mindset and begin to experience our lives from the standpoint of Christ consciousness.

The dualistic mind sees the crucifixion of Jesus as a painful sacrifice

If we examine the various traditions associated with the Christian celebration of Easter, we see that the focus is on the death of Jesus and the excruciating pain he suffered at the hands of the Romans.

I have no doubt that this was a very difficult experience for Master Jesus, as everyone who loves him believes. But is this the message that he wanted to give us by dying on the cross?

It certainly isn't, and why? Because when Jesus led the 'last ghost' away, as he told us himself, he made an important choice: by surrendering the desire for miraculous salvation at that difficult hour, he chose Christ over the ego.

He chose his true identity letting die all remnants of the mortal identity that were connected to the physical body , and the mortal identity as a separate being.

We all have remnants of our mortal identity until our last moment on Earth because, as Master Jesus told us many times, if we did not, we would not be able to remain in our physical bodies.

However, none of us can ascend unless we completely let go of our outer, separate self. This is why Master Jesus responded as he did to Peter, who was viewing the situation through the lens of the mortal ego and its earthly standards.

So, as you can see, we are not mourning the death of our Master at this time; rather, we are celebrating the gift of eternal life, which is only possible when we let go of the many subconscious selves that we created as 'separate' beings, and abandon the mortal sense of identity connected to the physical body.

This is the demonstration that Master Jesus wanted to give us as a gift, so that we could see that 'what one can do, all can do'.

He didn’t come to be the special unique being that can ascend from the «man’s body» to an immortal being, He came to show us that the gift of life is available to all of us, if we want to take it.

By rejecting Peter's suggestion to remain safe in his moral identity and avoid dying on the cross, Master Jesus demonstrated that we cannot serve two masters and must choose whom to serve.

We can either serve the ego and its doomed attempts to perfect itself in order to force God to save it, or we can serve the Christ by returning to our united identity with our divine identity, our I Am Presence, from which we are an extension.

As for the 'unjust accusations' that we will probably have to face at some point in our lives, it is only the external self that uses such dualistic standards.

For Christ, experiences are neither 'good' nor 'bad', although they can be constructive when they help us grow.

So let's celebrate life at this Easter time.
