I began to see that the story of Christ could be understood as a process that takes place within each and every one of us — an inner journey. Read in this way, we can see that Christ is constantly being immaculately conceived and born, is confounding the elders, teaching, being betrayed, being crucified, dying, resurrecting, and is making an ascension. All of these are occurring in every moment; they are mystical facts that exist outside of time. When I began to understand this, Christianity became possible for me again.
