During the crucifixion, the Roman soldiers were angry and fearful because J wasn’t suffering. One of them screamed at him, “Man, why don’t you feel any pain?” J said, “If there is no guilt in your mind, there is no pain.” The soldier stuck a spear in his side, but J didn’t react at all. The soldier then became even more frightened and ran away.

J had decided to lay his body aside for the final time. Just before he did so, he looked at Mary and formed a very gentle smile on his face. Then she did the same. As they looked into each other’s eyes, they both knew he had overcome death. Nadav saw the same thing, and the three of them subtly and gently acknowledged the truth within each other.

Because they were not affected by the death of J, Nadav and Mary knew they would not be coming back to this world to live another lifetime. As both the Bible and the Course agree, “The last to be overcome will be death.” Mary and Nadav hugged each other closely at the funeral, then they went their separate ways.

The first three enlightened ones had fulfilled their mission. Yes, there were others before them who knew everything one has to know in order to be enlightened, and had even lived it, like Shankara and Lao-Tzu. But there was one thing that was missing. You can’t completely undo the separation from God without completely acknowledging God and recognizing Him as the only reality!

Once again, this is why A Course in Miracles says, “Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.”
