Yet, what if getting out entails something as simple as pushing up on the coffin lid? Imagine this.   You are in your own little box.   We'll call it conditioning.   This conditioning has been done over several years of interactions with family, peers, school, and work.   Suddenly, you wake up from your death and you open the lid to your box and gaze into the skies.   Why, there is no end in sight.   Take away the clouds of your imprisonment and you see forever.   Not only that, but you see a world that operates in unison.   Everything works for everything else.   In its diversity the universe operates as one.   This is why it is called a uni-verse!

As Pink Floyd says in "Wish You Were Here" "our heroes are ghosts."     Do we continue worshipping and obeying the dead?   The only way is to get out of our conditioning and become unconditioned.   This is the central paradox.   We have to die to being dead in order to become alive.   The first step to awakening is to realize we are currently dead.   The resurrection is not about some external God-Man coming back to life. It is about us.   It is we that need to break free of the cement vault we have allowed ourselves to be imprisoned in.   When we awaken, then Jerusalem, the Queen of Peace (Jeru=Place, Salem=Peace) shall rule the planet alongside Christ, who in mystic Christianity is the evolutionary potential inherent in each one of us".doesn't matter what religion you are.   Indeed, when this event happens, the denominational religions shall crumble into dust for all will be revealed in its essence. And the high shall be made low.   In the same fashion, the prostitute will be seen as the Mother of Truth.
