A powerful word, resurrection - possessing strong spiritual connotations for the Christian world, especially during specific time periods such as Easter and Christmas. The word is also defined accurately as renaissance, rebirth, revival, recovery, reappearance. . . bringing back, renewing, surviving. Many myths and legends contain dramatic, uplifting accounts and images of coming back again after seeming destruction . . . the Phoenix bursting into flames and arising from the ashes, beginning anew.
This is metaphor for changing, morphing into a different application. Death is one vehicle for absolute change; fire is symbolic for purely, completely losing the old so that the new can emerge cleanly and perfectly.
Mentally resurrecting ourselves is possible . . . changing bad habits, being kind to others, losing greed and avarice, acquiring characteristics better suited to becoming the sort of human being we may wish we were - or want to become.
Think through this simple concept carefully, and just do it.
