The Universal Christ is trying to communicate at the deepest level that there is only One Life. One Death, and One Suffering on this earth. We are all invited to ride the one wave, which is the only wave there is. Call it Reality, if you wish. But we are all in this together…. The Gospel…is about learning to live and die in and with God—all our warts included and forgiven by an Infinite Love. The True Gospel democratizes the world.
