Being born again in today’s religion is a horizontal movement, not a vertical change in the way of being in the world without false idols. Horizontal birth just substitutes one false idol for another, going from non-belief to belief in a religious doctrine or story of God. Only the horizontal beam of the Cross is used, the beam of linear time.The vertical beam that goes into the ground of Being is never raised. The crucifixion is never complete, so one just hangs here in time waiting for the resurrection, waiting for a better day.
