True Christianity, for example, is not a cross that sits between two candles on a wall in a church somewhere, but is a conscious act of self-sacrifice placed between the two criminals of self-love and self-hatred.
True Christianity is not the hope for a better or brighter day somewhere in the distance, but is a deliberate and present reliance upon the Living Light to dismiss darkness as it rises up within us.
True Christianity is not about some kingdom of truth and kindness to come, but is about dying now to any form of self that is born in--or of--what is untrue or unkind.
True Christianity is found in understanding the unending mystery that hatred crucifies, but Love agrees to be crucified. Why is this enacted? So that the day may dawn when hatred will see and know itself in this Light and then, by this Light take part consciously in its own sacrifice for the Greater Good that rises out of its passing.
