As this fixation is accomplished so that the mystic knows by his feeling of joy that he has passed from his former conscious state into his present conscious.. ness, the passover or crucifixion is attained. This crucifixion or fixation of the new conscious claim is followed by the Sabbath, ~ time .of rest. There is always an interval of time between the impression and its expression, between the conscious claim and its.embodiment. This interval is called the Sabbath, die period of rest or non-effort (the day of entombment). To walk unmoved in the consciousness of being or possessing a certain state is to keep the Sabbath. The story of the crucifixion beautifully expresses this mystical stillness or rest. We are told that after Jesus cried out, "It is finished!" He was placed in a tomb. There He remained for the entire Sabbath. When the new state or consciousness is appropriated so you feel, by this. appropriation; fixed and secure in the knowledge that it is finished, then you, too, will cry out, "It is finished!" and will enter the tomb or Sab- bath, an interval of time in which you will walk unmoved in the conviction that your new consciousness must be resurrected (made visible) . Easter, the day of resurrection, falls on the first Sunday after the full moon in, Aries. The mystical reason for this is simple. A defined area will not precipitate itself in the form of rain until this 'area reaches the point of saturation; just so the state in which you dwell will not express itself until the whole is permeated with .the consciousness that it is s<r-it is finished. Your defined objective is the imaginary state, just as the equator is the imaginary line across which the sun must pass to mark the beginning of spring. This state, like the moon, has no light or life of itself; but will reflect the light of consciousness or sun-"I am the light of the world-I am the resurrection and the life." As Easter is determined by the full moon in Aries, so, too, is the resurrection of your conscious claim determined by the full consciousness of your claim, by actually living as this new conception. Most men fail to resurrect their objectives because they fail to remain faithful to their newly defined state until this fullness is attained. If man would bear in mind the fact that there can be no Easter or day of resurrection until after the full moon, he would realize that the state into which he has consciously passed will be expressed or resurrected only after he has remained within the state of being his defined objective. Until his whole self thrills with the feeling of actually being his conscious claim, in consciously living in this state of being it, and only in this way, will man ever resurrect or realize his desire.
The 'crucifixion' or 'passover' is the fixation of a new conscious claim, a joyful transition from a former state to a new one. This is followed by the 'Sabbath,' an interval of rest or non-effort, where one remains unmoved in the conviction that the new consciousness is 'finished' and will be resurrected. 'Easter' or 'resurrection' occurs when the new state reaches 'full consciousness' or 'saturation,' meaning one has fully permeated their being with the feeling of actually being the defined objective, living as that new conception.
