All right, friends, today we're dealing with what is Christ consciousness?

I'm going to read something. I came across this commentator who kind of gave some insight

on Christ consciousness. I think he had some good things to say. He said, the Center for Christ

Consciousness defines Christ consciousness as the highest state of intellectual development

and emotional maturity.

They go on to claim that Jesus achieved this higher state of being,

no, achieved, this higher state of being in his human life,

and was given this term, Christ, before his name as the recognition of his achievement of his spiritual status.

I can't help but laugh. This path is open to

anyone regardless of their religious tradition if and when he or she is open to become a living

vessel of love and truth on the planet and actively strives to attain it. Another site defines

it this way. Christ's consciousness is the state of awareness of our true

nature, our higher self and our birthright as children of God. So again, just, yeah,

basically in a sense, it's not new, so to speak. It's a form of Gnosticism in a sense.

Ultimately, what we're trying to show here is that this direction leads you away from the truth, not into the truth.

I mean, I look at it, like I try to break it down in my notes and different doctrinal beliefs and understandings, which is our previous episode.

And so just one example is that salvation is redefined here,

which is that sin is now just an illusion of a separation between us and God. And salvation

is now escaping your own personal ego and realizing you're not separate beings but part of a divine consciousness.

And I think of, I think of the movie Avatar where, you know, they plug into the great tree

and they're one with the world. That's that separation and then reunion. And the reality is

that scripture reminds us that sin is not just a mistaken perception or an ego issue.
