Billions of people over the last 2000 years Have spent a substantial amount of time Doing nothing but gazing at the crucifix It's like, why? You know, and one answer is Well those people are all superstitious They believe in stupid things like, you know Death and resurrection and, you know The Virgin Birth and all those things That make no empirical sense, it's like Yeah, well, think again, you know It's not a matter of simplistic belief It's a matter of belief structures that are So profound that you can't articulate them You don't know what they mean And so to gaze on the figure of the Dying and resurrecting hero is to understand That a huge part of what redeems you in life From evil an from the things that terrify you Is your capacity to let go of things that are outmoded and dead And to revitalize them as a consequence of new learning And it's the very soul, it's your very soul It's the very, it's the- it's the living part of you The thing that's so interesting about this is According to the... to the wisdom traditions of mankind That's the part of your spirit that protects you Against fear and pain, 'cause you might say: Well, you know If you don't want fear and you don't want pain You should build a big wall around yourself Wrap yourself up in styrofoam and sit right in the middle Where nothing bad is ever going to happen to you But, you know, first of all that's obviously ridiculous And second of all you'd die of boredom in no time flat If you did that You cannot be protected From the things that frighten you and hurt you But if you identify with the part of your being That has the capacity for- for transformation Then you're always- you're always The equal of what it is that's opposing you Or maybe more than the equal of it So you can either depend on the walls That protect you from things And so those could be like- like actual walls or cultural walls Or totalitarian beliefs or rigid thought patterns Or anything like that, or you can rely instead On the part of you that's voluntarily able To confront things that are frightening and painful And triumph and the deepest story of humankind Is that that's the part of us that's the most powerful You know, weak as we are and subject as we are To all sorts of terrible things That's the part of us that's the most powerful As we ascend the ladder then we become what's at that ladder It's not just a question of arbitrary judgement, or arbitrary Or like, you did this and you didn't do this It's to become something, to acquire a virtue So and as you acquire virtue then you become That which is at that level and And you become more and more in the image of God Right? So it's a- it's a process of transformation of the person It's not just a bunch of rules we have to follow In order to go to heaven or to go to hell That's not- that's not it, it's to become something And what to become, that's Paradise itself Right? To acquire the virtue is Paradise There's nothing else Right, that's what it is: To become something And to enter the Paradise is to Become that which is in Paradise To be in the holy place, to have- to be in a In a place in yourself and in your in your life Where you can... are transparent to God That you- That God flows through you and you have nothing You have nothing holding it back
