Christ Consciousness is NOT exceptional nor is it extraordinary and, hence, it does NOT see what they see (but "sees" much differently). Christ Consciousness does not lend itself to comparison, because it is exclusive to NO ONE. Therefore, NO ONE can define Christ Consciousness, because it does NOT conform to the rules of your 'world,' which has always demanded exclusivity and exclusion.
TRUTH is never apart and does not take exception. Truth has no judgment capacity and does not see differences. Truth is so exceptionally ordinary that it can be a downright drag to the extraordinarily exceptional ones and this is why they are often dazzled by their exclusive specialness (but miss the truth). Make no mistake, judge an experience as exceptional and YOU have missed the truth. But never mind, just keep going.
Infinite truth is all ‘means’ and no ‘ends.’
The pop-psychology, “self-development” movement seeks to make you feel exclusively special. But remember, your "specialness" must always be evaluated in comparison to another's lack thereof and that’s how you’ll be aware of its non-existence as “existing” (even though it can’t be ‘there’ at all).
One cannot say what Christ Consciousness IS because, once you do, you’ve obviously missed the point.
However, you can state what it is NOT and seek to simply over those obstacles (or...everything you can ‘think’ of). Christ Consciousness adheres to NO ideological viewpoint and is not a ‘state of mind,’ because states of mind claim exclusivity through exceptional “truths” (as if there were more than ONE). How could “higher states” be TRUE, except in a world where exclusivity is interpreted as “higher” and more valuable. A world that values the exceptional certainly does NOT value truth (just look at your world and see for yourself). But it’s ‘there’ just the same. How could it NOT be?
Even though we all like to feel “special,” the exclusive truth naturally negates what it would assert by nature of exclusion. This demands an exclusive messenger.
Yet, the message must be free and clear of ALL messengers.
The exceptional interfere with truth. They interfere by making NOTHING…very extraordinary (when it is still only nothing). Of course, ‘nothing’ is as true as ‘everything,’ except when you intrude on it. Christ Consciousness does NOT interfere or intrude, but plays infinitely within the finite. It has NO reason to differentiate or discriminate. Christ Consciousness does NOT state, “I believe this” or “I do NOT believe that” (although egos find it necessary and pleasurable, which is why I wrote this post… Ha!).
The special ones would have you revere their exceptional “truths.” But they have excluded you by the very nature of their asserting that they are different from you. The exceptional truth MUST always be in comparison to the unexceptional. Consider your ‘self’ exceptional, naturally excluding others, and you have perpetrated an attack that will serve to keep you separate. Inequality, by its very nature, must always attack, because it demands hierarchies and levels to what is ONE. This is a rule of the world, but NOT of Truth.
It is total inclusion you seek (what else could you want?). Truth attacks nothing, because nothing is excluded by being higher or lower, wise or ignorant, sacred or profane, etc, etc . Nevertheless, your expectation of a “spiritual” exclusivity can only exclude by exception. If you are TOTAL inclusion, than to exclude any small part (or person) is to totally exclude ALL of YOU (although it may NOT feel that way, since egos love to feel exceptional and exclusive).
Christ Consciousness fully engages everyone without interference and “there” is where the truth will be experienced as ONE (by the many, engaged as ONE). What other purpose could you have, but to engage without interference or intrusion? The inclusion of TRUTH is a joint project, so don’t interfere, but fully engage with it, since it’s everywhere (and nowhere).
The truth you seek is free of your interference, because everything you think IT is, is just more interference (even your attempts to stop ‘thinking’ is downright intrusive). If you think your truth is “special,” recognize you are interfering and let it be what it is.
Best to stop relying on your ‘self’ and don’t forget….
…it was your “best thinking” that got you here.

If they are truly "exceptional" then they will show us not how exceptional they are but how exceptional we are. There is no distinction between ordinary and exceptional except, as you say, by comparison. We are all exceptional. We are all one!
ReplyDeleteHey Crazy,
ReplyDelete"We are all exceptional. We are all one!"
Indeed.
Equally so...

"TRUTH is never apart and does not take exception. Truth has no judgment capacity and does not see differences."
ReplyDeleteTo this, I would say yes and yes. I think we use different language speaking of this, because I would say it as Nature is Truth and Truth is Nature; however, I like the Christ (Higher) Consciousness as being interrelated to that dynamic. In no way separate, and yet distinct, is the only way I can think to say it.
I like the position on non-interference. It's fun to "think" though, as long as one doesn't think so much it takes the fun out of it...or even the discovery.
Good post. I liked it a lot.
Blessings to you and yours, my Friend~

ReplyDeleteYes, all our babble repeating the same thing, if only we only had the capacity for translation.

Indeed. 'Thinking' can be a real chore sometimes. Sometimes, when I feel lazy, I just let my wife do it for me.
Thanks my friend!
