Sometimes We Spiritually Overreach
I should say, “Sometimes I spiritually overreach”. For several years now I have had my eye on achieving a state of Christ Consciousness. I have written about Christ Consciousness beginning with my first book, The Amazing Benefits of Meditation, and picked up the theme in more depth in my best-selling second book The Meditation Book.
What is Christ Consciousness?
In my spiritual journey, I have come to the realization that such a state exists. My childhood hero from my Southern upbringing, Jesus, was called Jesus Christ. I was told that Jesus was called this because he was the one and only Son of God, but the term Christ was never very clear. It had something to do with Jesus being “the anointed one”, implying something royal in nature.
It wasn’t until recent years that I came to realize that“Christ” is a term for people who have attained a certain state of consciousness. All the way back to Krishna, the hero of the 5000-year-old Hindu sacred text, The Mahabharata. And it is a term that could be applied to Buddha, Lao Tzu, Moses, Muhammad, Gandhi, and Yogananda.
The term applies to any human who has reached a sustained state of enlightenment.
My Experience
Something I aspire to and have even had personal glimpses of. Rare but notable glimpses each time. It is why I understand what the term “bliss” means because blissful is how I have felt when in that state. Usually, after an intense and/or prolonged period of meditation.
However, sustained enlightenment is quite a way away from any personal experience I have had. Nevertheless, that doesn’t keep me from saying to myself at least once a day as a mindfulness exercise, aspirationally,“I live, move, and have my being in Christ Consciousness”. To keep that goal in my sights.
Yet getting there, Being There, is not something I have learned to create at will. I have no proper control over it. My Higher Consciousness, my Soul said about this, “Be patient. This will happen one day. In fact, we are all destined to have this experience. At some time in the future, in some lifetime.”
I Am Encouraged
This is encouraging. HiC also said, “I would encourage you to say instead to yourself‘I live, move, and have my being in Higher Consciousness’. This is something you can control and have a clearer experience of. An experience you can have by merely turning to me your Higher Consciousness, your Soul, and asking. And allowing. Frequent experiences of this state of Higher Consciousness will lead to the State of Christ Consciousness. I will help you. We will do this together.”
This is all I need to know. That Christ Consciousness is in my future. And the path to it is through Higher Consciousness and my relationship with my Higher Self. I love that my Higher Consciousness Meditation process, as explained in The Meditation Book, is taking me in that direction every day.
Blessings,
Blair
