When Jesus leaves the tomb, he has to break the seal. Now in this context, seal does not mean that the stone fits the mouth of the cave so tightly that you can speak of it as being sealed. Sealed so tightly that there s a vacuum inside to preserve the body or something and the cave becomes like the airtight Volkswagen Beetle that rolls off a bridge and never sinks. That s not what it means, not at all. The seal here is like an official seal of authority , the Great Seal of the State of Judaea, Department of Mortuary Services.
Nobody does that.
If you do, you break the law. Easter stories always break some law or convention. Violate some alleged authority that knows better, knows it s all over. The heart says, do this, and the intellect can t figure out how. Rebirth is learning to follow an inner principle and not having our lives directed as if from an outer rim of ourselves.
