Crucifixion and Resurrection

Practice with this motifPractice

Definition

The crucifixion symbolizes the ego’s attempt to destroy the guiltless and proves only that assault on the body is meaningless; the resurrection symbolizes triumph over death through the recognition of invulnerability and the return to life.

Arc in Brief

Crucifixion names the ego’s sacrifice story; resurrection names the mind’s release into shared life as forgiveness replaces guilt with the Holy Spirit’s interpretation.
