Christuman is a living, growing being—vital and organic, ever becoming more clearly itself. In turn, Christuman continually converts us with inspiration and beauty, mystery and truth.

It is through our choices to convert our energies, our attention, away from those little-self preferences which cannot create more than a mundane life, to those which hold the possibility of glory, that we convert Christuman to contain even greater potential.  It is from the death of the least of each of us, it is our individual conversions that nourish and grow Christuman, allowing its greatness to be made real. 

Christuman has no flesh but us. Without flesh, it would be merely a beautiful theory. Our sacrifices, our love and attention, create and nurture that flesh.

We are convertors converting and being, in turn converted.

Let us, in this season of death and rebirth, die to all in us that is too small for Christuman, that new life may sweep in on the winds of spring to fill those spaces. New life with which to create our conversion into true human beings, that we may continually embody Christuman.
