One of the things I love about the historical novel The Madonna Secret is that it posits Lazarus' as a huge mistake of Jesus...a mistake that will guide his own resurrection, not into a body, but from one incarnation into another. I do feel that the antidote to civilization's rampant horrors is the long story. We are reborn to the world we have made, our mothers are the children we have denied food and safety, the lands we have polluted...to live in the long story is to begin planting a world in a very different way.
Hmmm, interesting that it never occurred to me to wonder who Yesuha became in his next incarnation. That's something to tuck away and work on for a while! Thanks for explaining why the church burned so many people. Obviously, the Cathars didn't agree that their soul would be lost to burning. The extent of sadism in this world over time boggles my mind.
Why was Lazarus brought back to this place in his skin suit? Was he just another one of Yeshua’s “miracles?”
And the immense sadism rampant in this species makes me want to go home.
Love and Blessings!
