My radical non-Christian point of view: his birth name was Yesuha, although the Romans called him Jesus. They also gave him the title “Christ,” which is Latin, meaning “the anointed one,” or “the Messiah.” Christian Gnostics embraced that title as a state of consciousness. In my opinion Christ Consciousness is a mystical term which refers to an evolved state of being.
I and the father are one does refer to a state of non-duality; the Christian theology of a “Trinity” three in one God, speaks to a singularity of being. Hinduism also has a trinity. There are many world religions which have a trinity doctrine at its Godhead. Merging into one heart is also a common theme in many religions. This to me is what the Christ Consciousness is all about.
