Terrible synoypsis
People believe in the dead Christ, but not in the living.
This needs to be changed asap.

The "living" Christ is not to be taken literally but rather as a symbol that refers to the death of the alienated ego and the resurrection of the greater Self. It is about ego consciousness making choices that are informed by the objective, transpersonal energies that inform all of life. This is who Inger was. As depicted in the painting hanging on her bedroom wall, she represents Aurora, the goddess who each morning guides Helios and his chariot across the dark sky. Yes, like most sayings found in the world's religious mythologies, if taken literally, they seem ludicrous; but if one acquires some symbolic sensibility and reads them metaphorically, they reveal their "living" meaning. If one wants to resurrect his or her authentic self, you only have to say the word "arise"; but you must also be willing to pay the price, which is death.
