The Christ Self is the True self

The First Commandment

Mark 12:28

One of the Scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that,Jesus answered them well he asked "Which Commandment is the first of all?". Jesus answered "The first is, Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is "One". You shall Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, and with all your Soul, and with all your Mind, and with all your strength."

Mark 16: 14

Later Jesus appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the Table and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness because they had not believed those who had seen Jesus after He had risen.

And Jesus said to them "Go out into all the World and proclaim The Good News to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved. The one who does not believe will be condemned.

Signs were given by Jesus to His Disciples.

So then the Lord Jesus after He had spoken to them, was taken up into Heaven and sat down at the Right Hand of God, and they went out into the World to proclaim The Good News everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the Signs that accompanied it.

Ammy,
I have wondered...when u say you were not satisfied with Parmahansa Yogananda...
did you know the Kriya yoga techniques he taught, changed a bit apparently...and
practice them for hours?
It was brought up so I thought it ok to ask .
I will look uo Rohr, thanx.

Its not so much disappointed in his techniques, its his entire outlook on spirituality. I feel like no technique, spiritual classes, or meditation hours will change your consciousness. What changes and transforms us is the heart and our intent.

Yogananda is great but he says a lot of things that I don't find to be true. But I believe he is a positive teacher and he is all about positive power, enforcement, and aiming for the highest goal.

You always hear- "Christ transforms us etc". But its all about ourselves. The Christ-consciousness (Holy Spirit) which is forgiveness, understanding, discernment, wisdom etc are the fruits that change our consciousness and intent.

StaroftheSea,

When Jesus said- "What you do unto others you do unto Me."

What do you think Jesus meant by that? Whats with his Universal Me?

This Universal "Unto Me" he is using is the Christ Spirit I was talking about. It is the Logos, the True Self, the Christ Being.

Jesus saw himself, his true self which was Spirit within all people emanating from God the Father. This is the God-self, the part of you that wasn't created but produced, begotten from the Father in eternity. We have all fallen short of that Higher Self, the Glory of God within ever since we incarnated in this three-dimensional limited world.

That is why we must all go through our own mini-crucifixion to crucify the lower-self desires to allow the higher-true Spirit Self to be reborn.

When Jesus died and resurrected, the divine and human natures were united as a New Creation. The divine Christ is the divine nature, and the human soul is the human nature. When they were inseparably united in Jesus due to his obedient earthly sojourn he became the Son of God.
