I believe that after leaving the physical body the virtuous Christian and the virtuous Jew will keep company with the virtuous Moslem, Buddhist and Hindu as well as with the virtuous atheist. What is of more importance, the name that we call God, or the purity with which we seek? Does God have a religion? What religion does "He-She-It" belong to? I believe that there is only one God and "He-She?It" is Love and that Love is the essence of all religions. However, being born a Christian, I wonder the following: Am I really a Christian? What makes one a Christian? What I claim or my heart?s purity? My birth or my conscience? My Baptism or my behavior? Then I thought, "A Christian is a person who seeks to put in practice Christ?s teachings and example. Subsequently I brought to mind his teachings and concluded that in order to be a Christian I would need to: ß Love others as I love myself. ß Love others as Christ loves me. ß Love even those who seek to do me harm. ß Not have any anxiety concerning tomorrow, having faith that if I work for the benefit of the whole, all my needs will be cared for as are those of the birds and lilies of the field. ß Remember that God exists in each being, in the poor, ill, imprisoned, orphans, refugees and all others and serve them in anyway that I can. ß Share my resources and belongings with those in need thus freeing up my spiritual wealth. ß Realize that the satisfaction and abundance I am seeking are within me. ß Never do to others what I would not like them to do to me. ß Abandon my personal life and unite with my fellow beings just as the first Christians in communal life. ß Never criticize or condemn others but rather seek to understand and overcome my own weaknesses. ß Have trust that God loves me unconditionally and that if I ask, I will be given what I need unless it is my greater benefit not to have what I am asking for. ß Forgive others regardless of their actions and repetitive mistakes. ß Understand and employ the power of fasting and prayer. ß Remember that our destiny is to live in harmony and unity with our fellow beings. ß Realize that my purpose is to use my talents, intelligence, abilities and virtues to create a more harmonious world. ß Remember that I could leave my body at any time and thus live in such a way so that I am without regrets or pending matters whenever I leave. ß Remember that I am the Temple of God and that the Divine lives in me. ß Realize that the Kingdom of God is within me and nowhere else. ß Realize that by following Christ?s guidelines I will discover the Truth that will set me free from me ignorance. ß Gradually absorb the truth that we are all divine and that our destiny is Theosis or to become like God through the perfection of our innate virtues. ß Believe that Christ is an incarnation of the Divine. ß Believe in his resurrection from death. ß Love God with all my power, mind, heart and soul. ß Live with love. I suspect you could add many more qualities of a Christian. Then I thought, "so, am I a Christian or not?" An answer came from within. "It is my goal and I am in the process." Being a Christian, Moslem, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu or even a conscious Atheist is an ongoing process of seeking to experience our true spiritual self and manifesting it through love, truth, peace, service, right action and selflessness. Be well ? Be Happy We are the Divine ? Goodness itself. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Christ Within * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We are mistaken to limit Christ to the form of Jesus. The fact is that we really do not know what Jesus looked like. We have a large variety of artists' interpretations; some golden haired (which is unlikely considering his place of birth). Others with more Arab - Jewish features, others with Black or South American features. Each culture has created Jesus in its own image. Although it is extremely beneficial to use the form of Jesus as a focal point for coming into contact with and worshiping the Christ, it would be a mistake to limit the Christ Consciousness to that one form. The early church fathers realized this, and for this reason suggest in the "Philokalia" as does also a pilgrim monk in his book The Way of the Pilgrim that we focus on Christ as an "energy - light form" rather than as a physical form. Christ tried in various ways to help us realize that he was not limited by the body of Jesus. He said, «I am in you and you are in me and I am in the Father and the Father is in me». He obviously could not have been speaking about the physical body, which we call Jesus. He was speaking as the Christ Consciousness, which is in and around every person. It is in us. We are in it. When He spoke about the judgment day and how the Lord would say to us that we fed or didn't feed Him, or helped or did not help Him, He was giving us the same message. For we would ask, «But when were you in a condition requiring that I help or feed you?» His answer is that He is in every being. (As the life consciousness and spiritual essence of that being) The various forms of worship are means for reestablishing that connective link, that unity with the Christ Consciousness. How do we lose this connection? We lose it when we function out of ignorance in an ego-centered manner. The Christ Consciousness is the basis of every being?s existence. There is no other source of existence. Thus every Christian, Moslem, Jew, Hindu and Buddhist and atheist is in fact an expression or manifestation of the one Christ Consciousness and is our brother or sister. We need to broaden our concept of Christ and love for Christ, to include humanity. This can be done best through service towards all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE BIRTH OF CHRIST * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The birth of Christ then is not limited to the birth of Jesus. The birth, crucifixion and resurrection of the Christ are daily events occurring hundreds of times each day in each of us. The Birth of Christ has to do with the birth of the Christ Consciousness within us. It has to do with the awakening of wisdom, truth and love within us. It has to do with a feeling of oneness and unity with all beings. It has to do with the death (crucifixion) of the Ego and resurrection of the Christ within. Christ lives and creates through us when we care as much about those around us as we care about ourselves. Otherwise, although Jesus may have come and gone, Christ is still dead to us. Thus, although we celebrate Christmas at a specific time each year, the reality is that every day can be Christmas. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS AND THE CHRIST * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jesus is the name which we give to the temporary physical form which the Christ took about two thousand years ago. Christ is the Universal Consciousness, the divine cause and motivating power of all beings. Jesus was the projection of that consciousness into physical form so that we could see it and be moved by its message. Jesus was born, crucified and resurrected. The Christ could never be born or die. It is unchanging, omnipresent consciousness. Jesus was one form of the Christ. We are all, to a lesser degree, manifestations of the Christ. Imagine that Christ is an infinitely powerful electrical energy source and that we are all light bulbs. Each of us is a slightly different light bulb. Some of us are fancy light bulbs, others simple, some white, other brown, others yellow and red. We have various names and categories written on us like Greek, American, Turkish, Russian, Christian, Hindu. Moslem, Jew, Socialist, Capitalist, Communist, male, female, young, old, etc. All these different types of light bulbs, with different names written on them, are powered by the one (and only) electric current, which we can call the Christ Consciousness. Whatever light they may be expressing, is in the final analysis, a projection of this one Christ Consciousness. We use this word Christ Consciousness in order to refer to that one consciousness which is the cause of all. St. John called it the «Logos», the Light and also Love. It is the Logos, the cause of everything there is. It is the light, the life of everything there is. It is love the binding force of unity, which will create the kingdom of heaven even here on Earth. For as Christ said, «They will not say here is the kingdom of heaven or there it is. For the kingdom of heaven is within you». The Kingdom of heaven is the eventual reigning of the Christ consciousness within us. We will experience the Kingdom of God, when we allow God to make his kingdom within us. According to St. Paul we are the «temples of the living God». God, as the Christ consciousness, lives within us. It does, however, share that «temple» with a lot of other residents such as our desires, fears and attachments. When these other inhabitants of the temple are gradually limited, then the rightful occupant can really move in. Returning to the light bulb analogy, each of us as a light bulb emits a certain wattage. The wattage available from the Christ Consciousness is unlimited. But we, as conductors, are not pure enough to transmit significant amounts of this current and light here on the earth plane. As we purify ourselves as conductors, then more and more spirituality will be able to flow through in the form of greater peace, love, wisdom, creativity and perhaps even some of the miraculous charismatic powers which flowed through the Apostles after the Pentecost. (Although it is not suggested that one try to develop these powers.) Jesus was another type of conductor. He had no impurities, no resistance. He was the pure conductor of the Christ Consciousness. He was the Christ Consciousness appearing on earth. But this does not mean that all other beings are not also projections of this Christ Consciousness. If we are one watt bulbs, Jesus was a million watt bulb and Christ is an infinite power source. Our life purpose is to reconnect with the Christ within us through Jesus? teachings and life example as well as through love for Jesus and the Christ in all beings regardless of their beliefs.
