We can only see thorns?
Corona de dolor?
Thorns? We only see thorns? A symbolic statement - it refers to the thorns of the crown, that Christ (Jesus) is said to have worn when he was crucified. Thorns - crucifixion - agonizing death - resurrection - a really very theatrical, symbolic spectacle. Is social thinking reflected here? The way of life, that one endures, with the crown of pain (crown - how appropriate) put on and then wither away, ultimately to die helplessly. About the resurrection - well. That remains to be seen. Nothing specific is known.
In the end, death?
The thorns - they are the image of the pain, that one has to endure in many ways. And it always follows us, very subtly, even on the most beautiful occasions. So pain is the price of life, it seems. You pay it anew every day and in the end you get death for it. The thorns - they mean the sin, the guilt, that one loads on oneself, quite inevitably, on one's way. They stand for despair about the meaning of life, the question of the meaning of illness, war, destruction.
Crucifixion of ourselves?
Nothing positive in this horrific picture of the crucifixion of ourselves. Yet a choice is ours. We hold the crown of thorns in one hand - and in the other snow-white flowers of forgiveness. But - to see the bright white flowers - we are denied. We have forgotten, that. That has been taken from us. Because the body's eyes, its senses, are unable to recognize it. To act as a body, means to act with thorns.
We give, what our convictions are?
You try to find a place in your life without thorns - you are not allowed, almost never possible (if only real moments then) - in a world of thorns, accusations, judgments. So if we give - out of this universe of thorns, then only what we put on our altar - pain. However - the reality is: The body is not at all able to give, to take, to give, to accept, to offer.
Only the mind can appreciate?
The mind alone can appreciate. And only the spirit decides, what to give and what to take. If you are now thinking of impermanence and the idea of a vulnerable God, who does his children inconceivable, bad things, you will also have them on your altar - and try to give them away as the highest value. And this altar is also the place where eternal creation, love wants to come..
Prepare an altar for love?
But how is this supposed to be possible for her, isn't everything covered with thorns? Isn't there only sin and the plague of death? The terrible fear? So don't offer this to love! Do not offer her your blood-red, sparkling thorns - if you do so, you have chosen the body and corruption, sin, judgment, guilt and death. Lift yourself above this veil of fear, make your home, your altar, your spirit, a place where love would like to come.
The white flowers of forgiveness?
Then it will come, it is already there. You will recognize the white flowers of forgiveness, pass them on to your brothers and sisters, shine them the way.with their brightness. The crucifixion never existed, the crown of thorns is an illusion, the path to eternal, all-forgiving, loving innocence is prepared. God never died for us! He lives with us! The crucifixion and the death of a Son of God are sinister images of the thorn ego.
The inner child?
This look of the white flowers - it is the look of your inner child. Because nothing else than the view of love, of truth, is what defines the inner child. Our inner child sleeps - call it Kundalini, call it rainbow serpent or Prana - call it enlightenment or most holy things - it is peace, love, without judgment, everything. It is creation. You are your inner child! So you are God. Prepare yourself a worthy altar of love. Without thorns.
Premises of impermanence?
If we define our life out of the judgments and premises of a world society, which has its basis and any logic in the principle of guilt, death, the ego, we cannot see, we do not recognize, the incredible wonderful beauty of the flower of forgiveness, of creation, as its been given to us in every fraction, offered in her breath,. A dark veil of mourning because of our transience, even the belief, that God, creation is hidden in this definition of chaos, lies over our senses.
Summary
Be aware! This is not a thoughtless thought, not a toy, that you throw back and forth and then put it down again. But just open your heart - just try to let love come into your everyday life - however you define it - it will expand, in its truth. And you will see more and more. This is as indispensable as God is eternal life and we are with him.
