John 11:43 · World English Bible
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
The call to come forth is the voice of love spoken into the mind that sleeps, and it asks nothing of the body or the grave. It is the summons to wake, to leave the dream of separation and step out of the darkness the mind mistook for death.

CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY
The call to come forth is the voice of love spoken into the mind that sleeps, and it asks nothing of the body or the grave. It is the summons to wake, to leave the dream of separation and step out of the darkness the mind mistook for death. What answers is not a corpse restored but a mind remembering that it was never truly lost. Love does not reach into a tomb; it reaches into the dream and calls the dreamer home.
The loud voice is certainty, the utter conviction that the sleeper can hear and will. To come forth is to let the miracle undo what was only ever believed. The one who was thought dead was always alive, and the call simply reminds him.
Lazarus: the mind asleep in the belief of separation, the brother summoned to wake and remember the life he never lost. Tomb: the dream of death itself, the dark enclosure of guilt from which love calls the mind to step out into life.

ESOTERIC
The awakened Christ-consciousness calls the dormant self out of the tomb of the body, and the name it calls holds the meaning. Lazarus opens under the Hebrew Eleazar, God has helped, the divine spark buried in flesh that seemed spent and decayed. Dead 4 days is a self sunk fully into matter, past the point where the lower mind believes anything can be recovered. The loud voice is the concentrated inner command, the higher awareness gathered to a single pitch that reaches into the sealed cave of the nervous system and stirs what lay inert. Coming forth is that spark rising back through the body into daylight, the sleeping life waking while it still wears the same flesh.
Lazarus: the divine spark named God has helped, the true self buried alive in the body and believed dead. The loud voice: the inner awareness gathered to one concentrated pitch, the command that reaches down into the depths of the flesh. The tomb: the darkened cave of the body where the higher life lies sealed and inert.
Christian Psychology lens
What part of my life am I still treating as dead when it is only waiting for me to turn back toward it?
The word buddha simply means one who woke up. The whole path is not building something new but ending a sleep that felt like life.
You are not trapped in the way things look, you are dreaming it. Nothing has to be rescued, only recognized.
From the start all beings are already complete. We are like people in water crying out for a drink.
