 Jesus Christ - Joshua
Immanuel the Christ
What are the Absolute Beingness [God] , the Logos [Christ]
and the Holy Spirit? What are these powers that we call God?
Life? Also, what is Christ for a real Christian, what is Jesus
Christ?
Jesus Christ is a perfect human being and God, a perfect
expression and manifestation. As a human being, He lived 2000
years ago, walking the streets of Palestine.
What is He to us now?
The Logos Christ, means, Logos, which is the Word, and Christ,
which comes from the Greek word “Christos”, means the anointed.
Does Jesus Christ live and exist now, or is He a historic
person?
What is Christ, the anointed one, the Logos, what can It be?
According to John the Evangelist, Jesus Christ “...is the
light which lighteth every man coming to the world”. This means,
He gives us self-consciousness. We as self-conscious beings,
have within us the Logos. Christ is the real Self of all humans.
What did Jesus Christ say about us Christians? “Be ye perfect as
your Heavenly Father is perfect”.
We must thank the Absolute Beingness, God, for granting us
the authority to use the mind. The mind is not a handful of
earth, like the brain in our head. If we use the mind in the
same way as Jesus Christ did, we will all demonstrate what He
did. However, in order to attain this, a lot of careful training
is required. The mind that was in Christ was the mind of God.
Therefore, we know that we must be perfect, as the Father in
heaven is perfect.
This achievement seems almost superhuman, and so it is. The
human aspect must be placed aside, and the divine aspect must be
established in its place. Humans are transient and fallible, but
the divine is permanent and infallible.
Jesus Christ is the consciousness within us that we are "Sons of God”
(Luke 2:40-52).
It is the Absolute Beingness, God, expressing Itself
dynamically.
The Christ Logos is life. Christ said, “I am the Way, the Truth
and Life”. The Holy Spirit is life; the life-giver. What do we
mean by life-giver? To whom and to what does the Holy Spirit
give life to?
We, as human beings are life. The Holy Spirit, the Christ Logos
and our Creator the Father, give life to the form, to our
material, psychical and noetical bodies.
Christ also said, “Know the Truth and the Truth will liberate
you”. Liberate us from what? From ignorance. We must accept the
Truth of our being, and then through understanding to begin
diligently, to live truthfully in thought, word and deed.
In observation, ask yourselves, who is concentrating and trying
to know?
Then you hear within you the word “I”.
The light, which lighteth every human being, coming into the
world, leads us to the conclusion that we are a personality, a
thinker.
Using the God-mind means to know that “I am I”.
When you know what is this “I”, the ego, the I-ness, then you
will find that you are God.
In our Present-Day-Personality, as a man or a woman, we have
some energy forces, which we can call animal energies, that keep
us slaves of our desire, emotions and so on.
When the I-ness takes charge of the body, o new order of things
is inaugurated. The vitality is no longer wasted in mere sense
of gratification. Through high and pure vibrations, the
consciousness is raised to higher standards. “Blessed is he who
cometh in the name of the Lord”. The Lord is the highest ruling
principle of Man.
Jesus Christ passed through all the trials, temptations, and
mental variations of each one of us, “yet without sin”, which
means not falling into the dominion of evil thoughts. Therefore,
this is possible for Man too.
Many ask, “Did Jesus Christ leave us, Will He become visible
again?”
Many are conscious of His presence in the same degree, but they
do not see Him as He is, because they have not brought their
faculties of apprehension up to His standards. When we awake in
His likeness, then we shall see Him as He really is.
This does not come about through the soul leaving the body, but
it is accomplished by refining, spiritualizing and raising both
soul and body to higher degrees of power.
Christ exists in a realm, where the limitations of form are
dissolved. He lives in the body idea. When we have identified
ourselves with the Father as Christ did, we shall see Him face
to face in His spiritual reality. But while we are in the
consciousness of the physical body, Christ will appear to us in
the form that we see.
If the mind has grasped the capacity and power of spiritual
ideas, then the appearance of Jesus Christ will be understood.
For us Christians, the only religion is Truth-Life! by:
