[And in Christ is God as God is in me.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found it is not easy to adapt this lesson\u2019s prayer to be read as non-gender as I like to make it more personal to me. To clarify I recognize that as a prayer to God, \u2018You\u2019 is me talking to God. We are talking about the Christ (He\/Him).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have come to see Christ as the Higher Self of the collective consciousness of all things. (And I am open to the possibility that my HS, also everyone\u2019s HS, and Christ are one and the same.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd what am I except the Christ in me?\u201d (1.7)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd [Christ] is like [God]. Thus must I be one with You as well as [Christ]. For who is Christ except Your [Child] as You created [Them]? (1.4-6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I like the personal connection I feel to Christ today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou and I.\u201d<\/em> W.II.14.2.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love Christ speaking to me about our journey together this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have no self except the Christ in me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This line had me think of Internal Family Systems wherein when the \u2018parts\u2019 of our personality can step aside there is a True Self that can speak to what is best for us. Is this the Christ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, my True Self is not just mine but is the same True Self of everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I think of my tree metaphor where I am a leaf on a stem, on a branch, connected to the tree trunk, the True Self could be the stem, the branch, or even the whole tree speaking to and for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe stand together.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Something significant happened yesterday. I spoke out loud to someone that my goal is Christ consciousness. Then today, here is this lovely declaration of my truth of being with Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told this person, \u2018I want to be a light in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n God\u2019s light is in me. I take the bushel basket off to shine. I wish to inspire my companions to seek the light within themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christ Jesus, brother, thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We stand together, Christ and I, in peace and certainty of purpose.
