The Power of Christ
This is the power that gives us the strength to stop being small human beings, holding onto our resentments, hurts and anger. Christ gave us a new understanding with his suffering. We must learn to understand exactly what he said to those who abused and killed him. “They know not what they do.”
All negative actions come out of fear, insecurity and ignorance. When people harm us with their words and actions, they are acting out of insecurity; out of a low level of consciousness. “They know not what they do.” As we grow into a higher level of consciousness we understand that and we forgive. Christ forgave those who killed him and he even prayed for them. This message has failed to seep into many hearts even though thousands of years have passed since that powerful message.
In light of the increased violence in our world today, how we react is up to each individual. Perhaps it is another opportunity for spiritual growth for each of us, for growing out of “Us” and “Them” into the light and deeper understanding of the soul. Jesus passed this test and showed us how it is done.
We must understand that the other is acting out of ignorance, insecurity and fear; understand also that these events are happening for a reason … perhaps to test our individual and collective wisdom, strength and love. There is a difference between suppression of negative emotions and the transcendence of them through wisdom and love.
Perhaps the understanding that Christ is not a man who lived two thousand years ago. He is the power of Spirit, Life, God which lives within us today. He is the Christ Consciousness which lives in every being everywhere, including the animals and plants. Many times Christ told us this and yet it is not yet possible for many to understand this because we haven’t reached the individual or collective stage of our evolution where we can feel or experience the Christ Consciousness in ourselves and others. Witnessing the world around us it is obvious we have work to do.
Christ also gave us the message that God is not a particular form, but is what we call Universal Consciousness. Each of us has direct access to that Divine Consciousness. Christ through his resurrection removed the necessity of a third party order to have contact with God. He brought God into our hearts, minds and bodies. Be leaving the physical form and sending the Holy Spirit, he made it easier for us to realize this.
JOHN 16.7 “But I am telling you the truth. It is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you.”
This is a very powerful message, one which can be of great use to us. God does not exist outside of ourselves in some heaven, He exists as the Life Force Energy itself, the power of nature within our bodies and our minds.
This power, the Christ Consciousness, lies within us, and our work is simple, have faith and begin to look into ourselves and in our silence listen to the small voice of God, the Holy Spirit within us. We crucify the Christ Consciousness every day in thousands of ways every time we choose matter over spirit, every time we ignore the suffering and needs of others, every time we choose violence over peace.
It is time to let go, forgive all and reduce the concentration on extended events happening in our world. Have faith that the power of nature will provide for us if only we harmonize ourselves with the flow of love, living for all humanity; while remembering that Humanity in its totality is a large portion of the manifestation of the entire Universal Consciousness on this physical plane.
May we serve Humanity by aligning ourselves with this Spiritual Power of forgiveness and love for all; May we pray together, work together, love one another and share everything that we have; connecting ourselves through God in prayer in concentration and allow love and peace to reveal itself in our world. God is the power, but we are the instruments of creation here on this earth. What we have collectively created is our mess and it is we who must clean it up. Let us not continue crucifying Christ daily, let us be done with this lesson and bring peace to our world…..love and light Christina
