I think it may be called grace, michael.
Initially it was an allegory for the death and resurrection of the Godman throughout various cultures and in different times for different peoples.
The allegory of Dionysis and Osiris.
The allegory of Krishna and Arjuna.
The allegory of Moses and Jesus.
The allegory of Jesus and the Christ.
All example/extrapolations of Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave."
And it is by Grace that we awaken to the truth which the allegory
gives us an insight into.
Literally it doesn't make much sense but allegorically/metaphorically it withstands the test of time.
Which is why Sages, Wisemen, Saints, Prophets and like spoke the way they did, so their teachings would stand the test of time. If this generation doesn't evolve or mature to the point of understanding, the same message is there and maybe the next generation will surpase the onlder one in comprehension and spritual evolution and will understand and help their fellow man comprehend them as well.
Therefore it is said, Where two or more of a like-mind are gathered together in brotherhood and comraderie and in my name, there am I.
I had this exact same experience during carotid surgery shortly after a stroke in May of 2000.
I know from first hand experience there
is something beyond what everyone considers "normal reality".
It's somewhat extraordinary to see/witness what you formerly thought was "I" or "me", lifeless and on a table being attended to [under the knife] by the surgeon and nurses and being completely out-of-body and one with awareness.
No
body to speak of, just a conscious re-connection with something that felt vaguely familiar and a somewhat foreign sense of presence awareness without a physical vehicle.
In fact, I don't believe it would have made any difference had the former vehicle that housed the present awareness that "I" now was, and
no longer a part of, went to the crematory, grave, or arose and walked again. Death it seemed, had no power here.
I can tell you from first hand experience that, from that perspective, looking upon what you though was, and rightfully so at the time, "your Life", from that perspective it[this] appears as a dream, a dream
called [here] the waking state. But from
there you have awoken from this dream, no longer a dreamer. And something else that is quite profound, you see that what you
thought you were, was really the Ego. Which pretty much controlled and ran the whole "waking state".
The mind/body organism subservient to its every
beck and call.
I guess in psychology that is what is known as "instinctual drive" but it is a
conditioned response and not a natural one. And it's based on our environmental and cultural conditioning. And it's also what most 'normal people' consider their "I" and their "me".
It is an
Impostor personae, and our subservience to it is what creates our happiness or lack thereof. For the most part, a lack therefof.
In most cases it is a ruthless tyrant causing us such despair we turn to other solutions, when the real solution is our own Higher Power. It is not outside of us but inside of us. It is the Christ State spoken of in the Bible.
The original purpose and intention of the allegory of the death and resurrection of the Godman was to acquaint us with our own higher power, and for those who were successful in doing so, followers gathered about them to hear of the redeemer, the Godman.
For each must find him through their own searching, it is a person quest and others who are knowledgeable of it point the way.
This is what The Baptism of The Holy Spirit means.
Thoughts become words become deeds become habits condition behavior builds character influences destiny.
We might all ask ourselves; Where are
you headed?

When this point is reached,there ensues a download of forgotton realizations into the
conscious mind,the soul who had these realizations vouchsafed within itself,now is able
to share this bounty with its grosser other half?The imagination becomes fired-up and
access to the "seed thought" the "living flame" becomes within limited reach.
The very word be-ingness takes on an entirely different meaning,and concepts that were
unimaginal only the day before burst upon the newly awoken conscious mind.
