On the nature and meaning of the word "Christ"...
"Christ is not a personality of majestic stature residing somewhere outside the dense material world, but is essentially an impersonal, cosmic Being, manifesting Itself as divine Light, Force, Love and Wisdom in a mighty Radiation Field". TNC
This Christine Radiation Field exists all around us. It exerts a wide influence on all life. This begs a question: if the Christine Love Radiation is all about us, then why is there so much that is anti-Christ, so much that is evil, in the world?
The Christine energy does not force itself upon humanity. It's attraction must be responded to by the human entity, via the agency of
The Divine Spark
Although all humanity is composed of fallen matter, there is, in each person's heart, a small amount of Divine essence. It is known as the Divine Spark. The essence of this spark is not of this fallen world, but is linked to the Divine Kingdom, the Divine Universe.
In the majority of humanity, this Divine Spark lies dormant, unresponsive to the presence of the Christine Radiations. It is only when the man or woman opens their heart up to this Radiation that their slumbering Spark, like a smoldering ember, will slowly begin to be fanned to life. It may burn out again, but once it has been awakened, it will be that much easier to bring the ember to a glow the next time, and the next, until finally, depending on the amount of work that the aspirant puts in, the Divine ember bursts into a roaring flame.
Self-less Service, sincere, unselfish Love and Devotion to all other-selves and to all Life, are effective and available means of awakening one's Divine Spark. The key words there are "self-less" and "sincere". What impedes many from making this critical start towards Liberation is that humans have been so self-focused, self-centered, self-involved and self-ish for so long, that many find it a struggle to release their self-focus and to focus instead on what can one do for the good of the group, for the good of the whole.
Where has our selfishness gotten us? What has our unceasing self-focus brought us? Most are not truly happy, no matter how much they attempt to accumulate for themselves, whatever it may be - money, food, sex, drugs, prestige, power. Material sensation after sensation after sensation, leading to naught but death.
When an earth-bound soul awakens its Spark, it can be likened to the process of childbirth, for one is indeed, "giving Birth to the Christ-child within". With this birth begins the Journey from death to Life.
The foregoing is highly simplified but should be enough for the sincere seeker to contemplate and/or investigate. Man holds the keys to his own salvation. Unwittingly, he cannot find it because he is sitting on it.
Matthew 16:25 "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." - The Christ, speaking through Jesus.
This is not about religion. It is about Truth. There is no religion higher than Truth.
