“Then I say, it is a privilege for you to be living in this Resurrection—not merely the Resurrection of the individual that was called Jesus; the Resurrection of Jesus was a pre-evidence of the great Resurrection of Life in the hearts and lives of all of the people of the earth. Take these thoughts into consideration. The Individual Crucifixion and Individual Resurrection, was but be-speaking the great Resurrection of our present day Salvation that I have brought to humanity’s conscious realization, the great Resurrection of Life within all of the children of men. Then I say, this Truth, which was and IS the Christ, has been long since lying dormant in the subconscious mind of men, being crucified by the mortal versions and by their theories and doctrines, and held by the selfsame expression, but behold, the great Resurrection has taken place. Firstly, as a Sample and as an Example, Jesus as an individual brought it to fruition as an outward expression of the universalization of the Truth. But now you can say with ME and also with the writer of old, “I know that my Redeemer liveth, for He liveth in my soul.” You can say, “I know He has risen, for He has risen in my soul.
“…As an individual Christ came, He as a Person was crucified, dead and buried apparently; but it was merely a parable, speaking concerning the mystery of the crucifixion of the Christ within you, and the resurrection of Him that liveth forever and ever universally.
“…After the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension, the birth of Christ as an Individual Principle took place in the hearts and minds of men as a real expression of this Christian dispensation.”
