A Holy Pascha Meditation

A Pascha Creed:


We believe in one God,
the Father, the Beloved,
the Lover, the Heart
of all that is,
the not-yet-visible,
the presently visible,
the no-longer-visible, and
and the neverly visible.

We believe
in the Prophet of Peace,
the Buddha of Beni Israel,
the Avatar of Adonai,
Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
eternally, continually, and never-endingly
begotten of the Heart of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
very God from very God,
begotten, not made,
of one Heart with the Father.

Through Christ all things were made.

For us and for our salvation-liberation
he came down from realm of the Father:
by the power of the Jivantic Spirit,
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
Who is a Mystery herself,
and was made incarnate and immanent.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into Infinite Transcendence
and is seated at the right hand of the Father,
infinitely deep in the Heart,
as the Tantric Non-Dual Union of Awareness and Matter,
warning "As you sow, so shall you reap", and
spreading the Good News
of the inherent Beauty,
native Enjoyment, and
simple Luminous Brightness of Existence Itself.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the non-living,
but his liberating work will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Jivantic Spirit,
the Lord of Life,
who proceeds from the Heart of the Father,
the Giver of matter-energy, spirit, and mind,
who guides with compassion the evolutionary process.
With the Father and the Son, he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Scientists, Saints, Sages, and Siddhas.

We believe in one divinely universal
and apostolic-lineage Community.
We acknowledge one rebirth
in the waters of purification,
one initiatory baptism,
for the forgiveness of lust, anger, and delusion,
and for the birth of compassion, energy, and wisdom.

We look for the Resurrection of the dead,
the Enlightenment of the Whole Body,
the Communion with the Father,
and the Embodiment as the Heart.
Svaha!
Amen.
