“If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me.”

This was never about a piece of wood.
It was about a principle.

The cross was not only an event — it was a pattern.
An inner ascent.

The Christos was always meant to be lifted within.
Not worshiped externally, but raised internally.

Over time, church culture turned this into performance.
We were taught that “lifting Jesus up” meant repeating His name,
singing louder,
declaring harder,
and calling that obedience.

But Jesus never said, “Say My name and call it worship.”

He said,
“If you love Me, you will do what I say.”
“Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and not do the things I say?”

Worship was never meant to be verbal admiration.
Worship is embodied obedience.

To follow Jesus is to follow His instructions.
And His instructions lead inward.

The ancient mystics understood this.
The “pole” was the spine.
Jacob’s ladder.
The central column where heaven and earth meet.

The seed descends.
It goes down into the house of bread — Bethlehem.
Into the body.
Into the earth of you.

And it must be lifted again.

This is why Scripture speaks of dying and rising.
Descending and ascending.
Losing life to find it.

This is not instead of the physical story.
It is the inner process the physical story was pointing to.

When the Christ is lifted through the inner way,
the body becomes filled with light.
Not metaphorically — experientially.

The pineal awakens.
The single eye opens.
The body becomes luminous.

This is why the ancients prayed upright.
Why mystics sat instead of lying down.
The spine is an antenna.
The body is divine technology.

This is why some walk in anointing
while others only say the name.

One repeats words.
The other follows the way.

Not because of effort.
Not because of performance.
But because the Christ has been lifted within.

And this lifting is not achieved by striving.

It happens through surrender.

The Spirit opens the seals.
The Spirit does the work.
You do not force ascent —
you yield to it.

Energy is not evil.
Breath is not evil.
Light is not evil.

Ignorance labels what it does not understand.
Wisdom listens.

When Christ is lifted within,
division dissolves.
The many are drawn back into the One.

Not by effort.
By resonance.

This was never about believing the right thing.
It was about becoming aligned.

The kingdom was always within you.
The technology was always in your body.
The Christ was always waiting to be raised.

The cross was not meant to be worn.
It was meant to be embodied.
What you surrender within you,
the Spirit lifts in you.
Light does not strive.
It yields — and fills the whole body.
