This Sunday in the Christian tradition is Palm Sunday. It seems like it’s too early. How can Easter already be at our heels? You know how it is? The day of resurrection is determined each year as the first Sunday after the full moon in Aries. The sun’s entry into Aries marks the beginning of Spring. The moon in its monthly transit around the earth will form sometime between March 21st and April 25th an opposition to the sun, which opposition is called a full moon. The first Sunday after this phenomenon is thus, Easter – this year on April 12, 2020.
This year of 2020 finds us on the edge of uncertainty in many areas of life. Humankind has been given an assignment clearly unprecedented in our history. If we compare these times to the life and times of Jesus there are clear similarities; not so much in specifics, but in analogy.
Jesus was sent to humankind to give us hope, to give us salvation from our ignorance and to resurrect us from living meaningless lives. How many on earth today are living without hope, without meaning of their true identity? Jesus said, “I AM the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me.” Jesus did not decree himself to be God. He did know that he and the father were one. He was teaching humankind to look within themselves to find the great I AM, and in this way we too will be one with God the father.
On Palm Sunday Jesus entered Jerusalem, which means habitation of peace. He was greeted by shouts of hosanna from the crowds, which quickly turned on him jeering “let us crucify him”. Jesus moved toward his destiny with confidence and grace as he knew the father and he were one. Let us take his example and put it to the test today, in 2020. Let us come to the edge of uncertainty without fear, for we know there is a power within us greater than anything outside us.
Say with me: “I am ready to enter the city of peace this day. I am ready to lay down my previous life to experience and know my oneness with the One. For this I am eternally grateful. And it is so.”

"The philosophy of Religious Science is nothing new to the world. It is rather a synthesis of the greatest concepts that have ever come to the mind of humankind. The laws of Moses, the love of Christ, the ethics of Buddha, the morals of Confucius and the deep spiritual realization of the Hindus all find an exalted place in the philosophy of Religious Science."
