Christ Consciousness

Freedom is not found in any point in time, past or future. It is not found in sense gratification in the present moment. It is found when the ego dissolves into presence. The ego is always seeking. The solution to our predicament is here, independent of any object or state of mind. When consciousness is infatuated with anything, we cease to exist. Presence disappears. No thing can uplift our consciousness. We cannot depend on anything to save us or to provide us with security. This is hoping a life raft will save you from a hurricane. You have to become the water to survive the hurricane. This does not mean ignore practical wisdom, it means that the discovery of God and living by God is the answer. God is the answer. Seeking for answers in the world brings a darkness to the mind and heart that obstructs the vision of our soul. When we turn Heavenward God may awaken within us. The Earth alone will not bring us peace. Our heart and soul resides in the bosom of God. We find peace when we awaken this seed and make it our life. Wisdom comes from the heart. Our heart is God. God is what we truly want. It is what we are searching for. The world is a prison. Only God can set us free. We don't understand this wisdom until we turn from our fruitless search in the world and set our gaze on Heaven where we can sense God and can learn of Him I believe through the medium of the Holy Ghost. When we are ready, Christ will reveal Himself to us and we will know of righteousness, the way. Christ is the answer to our struggle. He is relief from toil and suffering. He is the redeemer and Holiness. What we wish for is to have a life in Christ. We do not see this when we are immersed in the act of sense gratification through sense-object worship. In a way we really don't need anything to live with Christ save belief in Him. A belief that is greater than our belief in the alleged wisdom of self-serving darkness. I think it helps us when we can see Christ for what it is in a way that is free of doctrine. Christ is simply Christ. It does not belong to any ideas, sets of rules, notions, beliefs, religions, groups, etc. How could something so holy belong to anything so obtuse? If you can see Christ clearly in your mind, then you will get hung up less on allegiance to a rigid set of beliefs. Christ alone is enough of a teacher to show us what is good and true. When we find Christ in our Heart and Mind, this place becomes our church, temple, and scripture. Christ is the living flesh of God. It is the source of all inspiration. It is the mount from which Wisdom spills. Spiritual texts may be full of the living word of God, but we shouldn't read them just because we are told to, or tell ourselves to. We should do so when God tells us to. If our minds are clouded by a fixed set of beliefs, we will find it much more difficult to distinguish between our fixed attitudes and the unabashed truth. We have to bring both our mind and our heart to Christ if we wish to live fully from this place. Servitude to doctrinal authority is not liberation, nor is it worship of Christ. It is enslaving ourselves to ideas because we believe it will make our lives easier. Christ is not just a mythic figure, it is a center of consciousness within every living thing. Each human being may fully awaken to Christ, as Christ. This is a fact. The ego of the person is not Christ, their personality is not Christ. The soul within them becomes Christ when the consciousness within the human being awakens here. Christ awakens there. Christ is an infinite field of consciousness that we awaken within and as. It is the dissolution of our life that up to this point has been led by an individual ego "John or Rachel Harris" This is just a shell, a construct, not our true nature. The Christ in one person is the same Christ and Christ Consciousness which dwells and lives in another person. Christ is singular, not a mythical solitary figure, but a single consciousness, a Oneness that pervades all living things and the entire Universe.
