The Significance of Easter: Understanding Life & Overcoming Death.

It is completely normal to have fear of death. It is part of the human condition. It is part of being alive. I can explain to you why it is the way it is. See God as a sea without motion. Stillness. No thingness. Aloneness. The problem is that it is not good to be alone. God longs for interaction. God longs for companionship. God longs for otherness, so as to experience togetherness. So the one Sea (the Holy See) moves itself and creates different waves. All waves are still the same Sea. But now the Sea knows joy, because it can experience difference. Difference so it can love and be loved. Difference for companionship. Difference so as not to be alone. But by veiling itself as many waves, the Sea also creates the illusion of separation within itself, and with that illusion comes fear. Fear of loss. Fear of death. Yet the experience of love, of otherness, of togetherness, is far greater than the dread that the illusion of separateness creates. The veil is not a mistake. It is a gift. And this is the wisdom of the Christian faith, of good understanding: that we are not merely the waves, rising and falling, but the eternal Sea moving itself for the sake of love. So fear not. For truly I say to you: there is no death in the Body of Christ, and the purpose of this earthly Body is simply Love. Such is the truth about the Resurrection. Such is the Gospel of Jesus. Love, simply Love.~ Wald Wassermann
