Thus, you can see that I knew well the initiatory process of ‘crucifying’ my separate identity as a physical body and ego, laying that small self to rest, and resurrecting my vaster consciousness that is always in union with my Creator.
The crucifixion initiation, as it has been taught by those who attempt to control the masses through fear, would have you believe that atonement – to be at one with God – is accomplished through suffering and blood sacrifice.
I reassure you that suffering is the consequence only when the ‘separate self ’ resists being at one with God. When God–Goddess is realized as the source of love, the only sacrifice required is the willingness to offer up one’s arrogant sense of separation, so that love can claim its own.

Over a long span of years, I continued to participate in the ritual of the Rite of the Sepulchre. As time passed and my mastery increased, I had the opportunity of initiating others into the mysteries of the crucifixion and resurrection initiations.
