Easter: The Grand Rising of us all

By Matthew | April 20, 2025

They told us Easter was about a man on a cross who bled for us and suffered and died so you and I could go to heaven.

A debt paid.

A blood covenant.

But maybe it wasn’t really that,

Or perhaps maybe… it was always about something more.

Something happening not just in one man,

but in all of us.

Something that stirs every spring—

beneath the soil,

beneath the skin,

beneath the stories we inherited without consent.

Easter is not only a remembrance.

It’s an invitation.

Not just to celebrate resurrection of Jesus —

but to experience it.

To choose eternal truth

over cultural convenience.

To rise.

I’m not here to reduce the resurrection story.

Some say it was symbolic.

Others believe it was literal.

Maybe it was both.

I gnow it is.

What matters to me today

is that it points us toward something eternal

that lives within us right now—

a truth we can either carry or ignore.

We are all offered the chance

to awaken from the tombs of fear, shame, programming, and performance.

To roll away the stone of doubt.

To remember the sacred pattern

that pulses in every tree, every breath, every newborn laugh.

This is the Grand Rising.

Not of one.

But of many.

Of memory.

Of clarity.

Of presence.

Easter is not just a date on a calendar.

It’s a rhythm returning.

It’s a mirror held up to the soul.

It’s a reminder that consciousness can bloom,

even in a world that’s forgotten how to kneel without bowing to empire.

So if something in you is stirring today,

listen.

If your soul feels like it’s waking up without knowing why,

breathe into it.

Let the old myths break open.

Let the real ones root down.

Let what was planted in you long ago—

finally rise.

Happy Easter.

Happy Return.

Happy Rising.

— Matthew

P.S. The new gospel for all animals has begun making its way into print design, inside and out. There is Also a web 3 app being developed. Doing my best to deliver a new gospel for this age in the way it might best be received! The challenge of a lifetime or just good fun? 🤩

Cheers!
