Luke 18:31 · World English Bible
He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Jerusalem is the skull, and the going up is the whole of a life climbing toward one event that happens inside the head. The twelve are the twelve powers of the mind, every faculty gathered and turned in a single direction, because nothing scattered arrives anywhere.

MANIFESTATION
Jerusalem is the skull, and the going up is the whole of a life climbing toward one event that happens inside the head. The twelve are the twelve powers of the mind, every faculty gathered and turned in a single direction, because nothing scattered arrives anywhere. The skull is named here not as the ordinary seat of thinking but as the womb of a second birth. God wakes in that narrow place, is born out of your own skull, and rises.
The Son of man is the awakened being formed within a person, and everything the prophets pointed to is the account of how that one comes to term and is delivered. So the climb ends in a birth. This is the resurrection the old writings meant, not a far-off execution to fear, and not a settled mood that quietly ripens into a wish. What is accomplished is that the God asleep in a person finally awakens as that person.

Where is your attention going that you never chose to send it?
The awakening happens under one tree, in one body, in one mind. No journey covers the last inch; it is traveled inward.
The self is hidden in the cave of the heart and is uncovered by gathering the scattered senses and pointing them one way.
Thirty birds cross the world to find the great king and arrive to see their own faces. The long road ended exactly where they started, in themselves.
