Christ Consciousness
I couldn't find a link for this on here. I am interested to learn more about this e.g. from someone who believes and practises it. (I have reservations about Christianity e.g. being an orthodox religion.)
I came across this definition of it in Yogapedia...
'Although Christ Consciousness is not intended to relate solely to the personality of Jesus Christ, its combination of Christian language with Eastern religious and philosophical concepts make it a controversial term to some.'

Yes I know that but am still interested to find out more about Christ Consciousness. I resonated strongly with Jesus when I was deeply in love, homeless and....for a while...shoeless too! I had nothing but I was rich....i.e. I had everything that mattered.

...It's complex... No 2 experiences are the same.
But what I do know is this...
We cannot MAKE it happen...
Things just happen ...
Whether we believe it is another matter !!!
Come the time that we want to know, and need to find out out.. we will.
But we have to ask... |

Yes I agree about the spontaneity. So....is that what Christ Consciousness is then i.e. an altered state of consciousness? I thought it might have a philosophy/teaching/path etc.

... Again.. it depends upon ones circumstance..
And please , this is only my own way of thinking, and in no way a "given"...( Elfin disclaimer alert !!!!!)....
And it's not just to do with Christ ... But everything !!
I believe that for all of us, as individuals , there will be a "time and place " when the "penny drops" for all of us... In whatever way that may be....
So really, I'm not of much help !!!!!!! |

Wowee, are there ever a lot of books on Christ Consciousness!
I just googled it. 
I eliminated my suggestion of the book Cosmic Consciousness.
There is an instituteofchristconsciousness
and divinitycodes.com
Both very good, I checked them out.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I will try to approach this from a different angle which seems consistent with your quote on this subject from Yogapedia.
The Korean Zen master Seung Sahn, wrote in his book ("Wanting Enlightenment ... is a Big Mistake):
"When you're thinking about something,your mind and my mind are different. when you cut off all thinking, your mind, my mind,and everybody's mind are the same; god's mind,Buddha's mind, Christ's mind ....". Christ's mind corresponds to the understanding of many in the east regarding the nature of "Christ Consciousness".
There are only two passages in the Judaic-Christian scriptures of which I can think which specifically direct one regarding how to "see" or "know" God (Christ-consciousness).
1. Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall "see" God. (Beatitudes)
2. Be still and know that I AM God. (Psalms 46:10)
Both point to the stillness/purity-of-heart.
Since you are drawn to Jesus, look at Luke 2:52 ("And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.") My sense is that Jesus "grew in wisdom"and attuned to the Christ Consciousness. This is consistent with the positions of many (not all) Christian pastors and suggests the attunement of Jesus to the Christ Consciousness.
That is what I believe and also what I practice. I hope that this may be helpful in some way in addressing your question.

Oh you reminded Still_Waters --
in a message from Jesus in, "The Way of Mastery", he says:
Sit 5 min a day, practice as an infinite creator - play with what it would feel like to sit in a chair as a Christ.
Italics in the book. Page 114.
