Human Christ

Human Christ is a radio talk show with the title Pitfalls of Humanizing the Christ.

Human Christ:

Hostess Lisa Winton and Swami Jayananda will talk about how and why Spirit dissolves the personal, making the fear of the Divine an important indicator in recognition of genuine inspiration. Listen as they explain why Divine Peace threatens the false sense of self and when it doesn’t– beware. In this show they will discuss the differences between Jesus and The Christ which is an impersonal Principle.  Welcome to the Voice of Yoga; we are talking consciousness! Join the Kriya Yoga Spiritual Advance to get the Light in your Soul and demonstrate Divine inspiration.

Notes:

1. Spiritual understanding is a process which unfolds in three phases as explained in the hero’s journey the separation, the journey, and the return. We can include Kriya Yoga which is the graduation from unconscious awareness, self-conscious awareness, to super conscious awareness or the Christian myth the crucifixion of the body, resurrection of the Son, and reunion with the Father. No matter how you look at this– life in matter must be given up for Life in Spirit and know what this looks like when it is successfully accomplished, there is tangible evidence. Mary Baker Eddy wrote in S&H 168:32- 169:1-2 “By chemicalization I mean the process which mortal mind and body undergo in the change of belief from a material to a spiritual basis.”
2. To help us move from the human to the Divine the shift of thought then identity– from mental/material to Spiritual. let’s look at the words of Jesus in John 15:1-12, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
3. Humanizing the Christ keeps thought in the mental material basis and thwarts Spiritual progress. So let’s separate the Christ from Jesus because until we do, we are in the mind that can’t bring forth the Divine Image. To understand the idea of abiding in the Christ we will look at what Gilbert Carpenter wrote in MBE, Her Spiritual Footsteps chapter 20. Soundbite for This reading, “It might be said, that there is a point at which we follow the Christ in another, a point where we catch up with Him, and finally a point where we embody Him. Jesus called that embodying of the Christ, eating his flesh and drinking his blood. It is as if a man, weak with hunger, were being drawn in a cart by an ox. Finally, he kills the ox and eats his flesh. Then he finds he has gained the strength to pull the cart himself. From this, we can describe the crucifixion as symbolic of the point where Christ is taken away as something that can be followed, only to reappear and come to life again, as something to be embodied by man. It dies as something apart from man, and comes to life as his own true selfhood.”
4. We have a soundbite from Herb Fitch RO 27A to help us learn and practice how to abide in the Christ. (1) “There should be a growing awareness that Christ where you are, is ever present as the invisible Self that your eyes cannot see, that your hands cannot touch but is the Life of you, just as what you have called your body is the visible form of you. Now, beside the visible form, you have the invisible Life. You are told now to rest not in the form or the consciousness of the form but to rest in the invisible Life which is Christ as your Life.” (2) ” As human branches, unaware of the invisible Vine to which we are one, we all fear.” (3) “Living that way, we are subject to karmic law. Living that way, we cannot bear fruit. The fruit that we bear that way is false fruit. It’s the fruit of good and evil.” (4) “the human branch must learn that it is cut off.” (5) “The call to transform, “Be ye transformed,” out of a human branch by the renewing of the mind into the awareness of the invisible Vine of Christ within you and behold, you will bear Divine fruit and you will be lifted higher.”
