“We have a wisdom to offer to those who have reached maturity . . . a hidden wisdom that the masters of this age did not know, or they would never have crucified!” (from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, 2:6-8)

“...when we come to enlightened consciousness...we have learned to include, accept, and forgive the negatives, the problems, and the contradictions that were revealed in the middle of life to be much more complex than we first imagined. As Paul says, we learn to stop “crucifying”—ourselves and others, which is precisely “resurrection”!
