Christ came to earth at a critical time in history, a time, when
the world was in need for spiritual hope and regeneration.
His message was not to form diverse churches, by each church
claiming him as their own.
His was a universal message of unity, and brotherly love, of
forgiveness, compassion, renunciation, equality, and supreme love for God, his
message is one the grandest ever given.
He reminded us that it is written in the scriptures, “I have said,
Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” Psalm 82:6.
St. John expressed the spirit of Christ’s teaching when he said, “But
as many as receive him (the Christ Consciousness manifested in Jesus and in all
creation), to them gave he powers to become the sons of God” John 10:34.
This was and is a message of hope for all, the down trodden, the
poor and the sick, this statement that all are children of the one father.
Jesus himself spoke of the omnipresent Christ Consciousness when
he said,
“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall
not fall from the ground without (the sight of) your father” Mathew 10:29
This shows us, that God’s consciousness is everywhere present. His
body is the entire cosmos. We can feel His omnipresent consciousness in our
hearts as this great spiritual vibration; we call love, as love that embraces
everything in creation.
This is the Christ Consciousness, the creative, intelligent force
of God.
Jesus was one with Christ Consciousness and when we experience
this creative, intelligent force in our lives, we are one in Christ.
You may ask how we can feel this force. “You know when you know”. Your
whole body will be filled with light. Jesus said:’ I am the light of the
world”. When we are one with his light, we are one with Christ.
From Jesus we learn that the purpose of religion is to expand
human consciousness and unite it with the omnipresent Christ Consciousness in
creation.
We do this in a social way by cultivating divine love for all of
God’s expression, for all of God’s creation. This includes plants birds,
animals, man. Only when we think and feel our connection to all, will we act in
accordance with the law of God. This is what is meant by expressing the
wholeness of life.
It is harmony, an
expression of freely giving and receiving; not only of things, but also of
ourselves.
Whosoever does this to the least of my brethren, does this to me
also. (Paraphrased Matthew 25:40)
In a transcendental way we direct our attention with Christ
Consciousness in meditation.
In deep communion with the Christ we will be led to the
realization of God.
