The Christ Consciousness
I had a deeply sad dream last night. My mother had rejected me and I didn’t understand it. I seemed to have nothing no matter how hard I tried. This, after what I wrote yesterday about being the “I am.”
I had to see that “I am” is my only home. I feel leaden as I write this. The subconscious would have me feel the truth as well as know it.
When I woke up, I just lay in bed like a stone. I thought of Jesus and of course His words came alive, or the words in the Bible, “He was scorned and rejected of men.” It is like that. We have to have this double knowing as long as it takes. Everything is divided, even the physical heart. We know how divided we are secretly.
So life goes on and if we choose to be chosen, each step is a stripping down and a paring away of the false. The good news is still far off, but it is now in sight.
So I begin my day on Planet Earth. Perhaps the water levels rising portends another flood. It is too late for society to redeem itself. What happens is God’s Will. Atheists and positive thinkers do not like to hear this.
My way of being in the world is to live a life of solitude and reflection. I have no choice in this. And so I write on. I am hopeful of the Christ Consciousness and that is enough and plenty to feed the multitudes.

Hi Vicki,
I love this article, thank you.
Your words:- ‘When I woke up, I just lay in bed like a stone. I thought of Jesus…’
Reminded me of a fragment from the Gosple of Thomas where jesus said- “Lift the stone, and you will find me there.”
Maybe, the good news isn’t so far off at all.
The Sufis, they were a wise lot! They, too, spoke of God being immanent and transcendent.
Since being on the path, I don’t believe you can have a life in the world and a life in
the spirit at the same time. I am alone most of the time and I am much more suited to
solitude than socializing. Energy can go only so far.
Hi Vicki, thank you, your reply brought the thought:-what use the body without the spirit and the path without the traveler, or conversely, what use spirit without the body and traveler without the path and whatever the case may be, there is always the presence of energy, but to what end do we choose to put it, and of course, how much?
