I remember the first time I read that the Christ is not a man, the Christ is a principle...hit me like a brick. Because that made sense to my core...not to my reasoning mind necessarily, but to my core, and I knew it to be true.
I'm rereading a Goldsmith book, and this morning I read "The Messiah does not come in time and space: It comes in consciousness." I have that sentence underlined in various colors, having read the book many times. But when I read it this morning, it felt like I'd never heard of such a concept before.
I immediately thought: Well, of course, God does not come in time and space: It comes in consciousness. That's the whole of not looking for God "out there." That idea went by the wayside long ago, yet here's me...stunned by words I've read and believed for years: God does not exist in time and space, God exists in my consciousness, within me and without me. Like air. Can't see it, taste it, touch it, but without it, I'm dead.
Building a deeper consciousness of God, the all of God, within me personally, without me impersonally...there's my answer. No matter my question.
Thank You.
