"Today's Gospel describes the transfiguration of Jesus before three of his closest disciples when" He was transfigured before them, his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. "Lent is a time to purify the heart's eye, through which we see this kind of light.
In the spiritual realm that always absorbs the outside and brings it inward, toward a higher level of being. The body remains a body but it becomes a spiritual body. The mind remains conscious but at a level of consciousness that transcends the ego and duality.
This gospel account of an experience of enlightenment, we see a manifestation of true nature that does not invalidate the material world nor the relationship as a human experience. This event did not happen when Jesus was alone but was accompanied by his most trusted companions.
is difficult for us to rely on the pure vision of God, not on an object - the meaning of illumination - not a disembodied and occurs in an abstract reality. In fact, we are embodied and remain so as long as we exist - to eternity - although the way our bodies change. Mírate al espejo o en tu álbum fotográfico.
¿Has visto alguna vez a un ser de luz? No un extraterrestre etéreo con dedos ultradelgados y un enorme cerebro ó un ángel con alas; sino a un ser humano que se vuelve luminoso bajo la influencia del amor, la verdad o la belleza. Yo lo vi una vez cuando una triste y amargada mujer cerca de la muerte me leyó un poema en el que transmutó su sufrimiento en belleza. Mientras leía el poema se convirtió momentáneamente, al menos para mis ojos, en un ser luminoso y amoroso.
La transfiguración de Jesús es más aún que esto. Pero tales momentos de gloria iluminada en nuestras relaciones humanas nos sugieren lo que es realmente la luz interior of Jesus. And what is our own potential for transformation.
