The Empty Tomb: A Mirror, Not a Monument

Figures of White in the Empty Tomb

We often treat the empty tomb as a historical site—a stone rolled away two thousand years ago. But for the individual seeking the Truth, the tomb is a present-moment reality. It is a portal. And for many of us, before we do the "shadow work" of the Spirit, that tomb isn't actually empty. It is cluttered with the "dead man's bones" of our past, our grievances, and our self-judgments.

The Linguistics of Absence

There is a profound lesson in the words we use to describe our struggles. We talk about people behaving "disgracefully" or being "ungracious." If we look closely, these words aren't just labels for bad behaviour; they describe a state of being without Grace. When we see the world as disgraceful, we are projecting our own sense of separation onto others. We are filling our internal tomb with the "bones" of the unforgiven. We see the "Y" that someone did to us, and we store it like a relic. But to live as a human with Christ consciousness is to recognize that this separation is an illusion—a lie we accepted in "kindergarten" that we are now here to unlearn.

Emptying the Tomb Through Shadow Work

True forgiveness is the process of emptying that tomb. It is the realization that there is actually nothing to forgive because, in the economy of God’s Love, nothing was ever truly "wrong"—every trial was a blessing designed for our growth in this Earth School.

When we stop seeing "disgrace" in others, we stop carrying their bones in our hearts.

However, as I sat in church today, I realized the tomb isn't entirely vacant. As it appeared to Mary, there are figures of light within. When you clear out the projections and the "dead man's bones" of your pre-salvation life, you find two white-robed figures standing there: You and Jesus. This is the reality of Divine Sonship. You are not an observer of the resurrection; you are a participant in it.

The Simple, Uneasy Path

This shift is simple, but it is rarely easy. It requires a radical Obedience to the Truth. When we are faced with a situation where we feel "I just cannot forgive X for what they did," we must ask: What would Jesus do?

We usually already know the answer. We just don't like it.

We don't like it because it requires the death of our "Y"—the egoic identity that wants to be "right" or "respected" or "compensated." But to follow the Christ-pattern is to choose the light over the grievance. It is to recognize that the person who harmed you is also a reflection of the Divine, currently caught in their own lie of separation.

The Ph.D. of the Present Moment

By emptying our tombs of the unforgiven, we make room for the light of our true nature. We move from being victims of circumstance to being the Content Creation CEOs of our own lives. We are no longer defined by our biological lineage or our "Y chromosome" struggles; we are defined by our unbreakable unity with Love.

The stone has been rolled away not just so we can look in, but so we can step out—free from the weight of "dead bones," standing in the light as the divine beings we have always been.

I thank God in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. Amen.
