The gospel stories of the New Testament have informed Western thinking, philosophy, music and art ever since the time of their recording. In these last days a remembrance of the story of the transfiguration of Jesus keeps coming to mind, an event reported to have been witnessed by some that were with him on Mount Tabor.

Transfiguration. What is this concept? What does it want us to know? The figure of Jesus was transfigured right before the eyes of those with him. Is it possible for us to become transfigured like that? Do we also experience the kind of transfiguration this scripture refers to? I feel a transfiguration coming on but not anything anyone can see, just a change from the inside out, a vibration at a different rate, a mysterious charge of energy the universe chooses to deliver. I’m very intrigued with this, and that strong word keeps passing through my mind.
