I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and Happy Passover if you celebrate. If you are distressed, I suggest hat you give yourself some time to meditate. If you do not know how to mediate to produce serenity of mind or peacefullness of the heart, I will be glad to advise you in PM for no charge. This is sacred knowledge, as all adepts know, and is accessible to all, men, good or evil.
I will engage in no verbal combat today, in honor of the fact that the Battle is already Won. I've reposted one of my favorite Easter Cartoons below. Enjoy.

Well I'll thank you, PG, for your Easter intentions, and I hope all you Grovers had a pleasant holiday, meaningful or otherwise. The Clemsy clan road tripped into the pine barrens of New Jersey to see the out-laws, went to Easter Mass (the homily was abyssmally disappointing... and it was the bishop, yet), listened to the story... connected with the past...
You know, it's interesting. There is nothing stronger, more powerful, than the willing sacrifice. The sacrifice of Christ, for all intentions, brought to an end the age old tradition of the religious practice of blood sacrifice. Now the sacrifice is, or should be, personal: the self to the Self.
But I ramble...
Finished the trip with cousins across state, went into Phillie to see the Tutankhamun exhibit at the Franklin Institute. Very intense. Very cool.
This struck me the most:
Imagine... the child king sat in this chair. Human hands crafted it. So long ago... so long.
Cheers,
Clemsy

Now the sacrifice is, or should be, personal: the self to the Self.
It turns out that as the self gets closer to realizing unity with Self the so called sacrifices turn out to be sacrifice of nothing meaningful and nothing more than stumbling blocks of illusion designed to preserve ego and self. In other words the belief that sacrifices must be made keeps self from Self.

Oh, I don't think so, Phil. The moment of letting go is an act of sacrifice, even if, in the moment, what has been released diminishes to a vanishing point as having been nothing much, really.
That moment, though, is crucial, or what is the message of Golgotha and the empty tomb?
How else do we grow, if we don't let go?
