This is the great mystery of the incarnation, the death and the resurrection. What incarnation - what death and what resurrection? The mind instantly thinks in terms of two thousand years ago and we think that was the great mystery, but before I jump into the mystery, let me quote you the very last verse of this wonderful 5th chapter: "Little children keep yourselves from idols." ... The birth of the active mind is truly the resurrection of Christ in man. It is Christ in man that is the hope of glory. ... So here God died yes, to become man. The death of God is complete forgetfulness of the fact that He is God. He had to completely forget that He is God, and therefore die to awaken as man. If he remembered He was God He just couldn't be man, but a complete and utter death, which is complete forgetfulness, that I am God, to become man.
The incarnation, death, and resurrection are not historical events confined to the past, but an ongoing mystery within man. Incarnation is the embodiment of a desire. Death is the complete forgetfulness of one's divine nature (God becoming man) or the radical change of one's state of mind. Resurrection is the awakening of the active mind, Christ in man, from its passive state, bringing the desired state to life.
