Easter Blessings Along the Journey of Transformation
— Dr. Kenn Gordon and Friends
“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.”
— Cynthia Occelli
Join Dr. Kenn, friends, and the rest of the Sunday Six on Sunday, April 4, 2021 at 10:30am on Facebook Live.
Last month, we lived in the question. This month, we live from our vision re-defined, embracing change with curiosity. The vision continues to unfold, and the path is revealed with each step. Our faith guides us along the way.
This Week’s Science of Mind Theme
The Path Less Travelled
Easter is a celebratory occasion to look at the spiritual evolution of Jesus who is a representation of the promise of humanity. His life is a powerful example of the path less travelled. He is a radical evolutionary who dared go against the grain of the religion into which he was born.
Ernest Holmes believed that Jesus was the most highly developed spiritual master that the world has ever known. According to Holmes, one of the most powerful insights of Jesus was that God and Humanity are One. Jesus taught that a high state of consciousness is accessible to each individual.
The story of the last days of Jesus gives us a powerful outline for living a fully realized spiritual life. It tells of the deep love and compassion that Jesus feels for humanity. Jesus demonstrated his understanding of the importance of every human being. There were no social hierarchies or societal boundaries.
As a fully realized spiritual being, Jesus feels no fear as he surrenders to the moment, for it is only the blink of an eye. Jesus knows and says, “I and the Father are one.”
Jesus was a patient, master teacher who taught us to forgive 70 times 7, as often and as long as it takes to reach a change in consciousness. Be patient with yourself and others, and allow compassion to overflow from your heart. Whatever your soul’s mission is, forgiveness will support you in fulfilling it.
