There are many ways to describe a higher consciousness. Some of these terms are Budda consciousness, cosmic consciousness, and God consciousness. The most familiar in the western world is Christ Consciousness. Through my channelings and meditations of twenty-five years, I have written a book, "Paradigm Busters, Reveal the Real You", which is coming out shortly. It explains the steps into Fifth Dimension that brings Christ Consciousness or heaven on earth.
Jesus or also called Jeshua is one master who achieved this higher consciousness through his many reincarnations and initiations. Described in my last channeling of December 2015 on You Tube, Jesus said that the Fourth Dimension is Jacob's ladder in the Bible. As you raise your consciousness out of Third Dimension and move closer to Fifth Dimension, it is the transitional stage of progress for achieving a higher perspective and awareness, spiritually.
The darkness is referred to many times in the Bible. One example is 2 Samuel 22:29. ""For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness." It stands for the negative activity of the ego that separates you from the love/light of God or goodness. The process of releasing all the darkness and moving into the light of God is the real message. We substitute love for fear, light for darkness, or selfishness for selflessness. Most people return hundreds or thousands of lives to achieve this. This process takes many incarnations.
Most people have thousands of life times to remove the ego's dark influence and move into their hearts. Jesus had 32 past lives, which allowed this process through initiations when he traveled to India, Egypt, and Britain during the lost years. His spiritual journey in his last life brought him into the Essene community, which mutely perpetuated the Law of One from the days of Atlantis. They did not live within the Hebrew cities.
His family supported spiritual teachings of "The right use of energy" in the Essence community and his travels to other similar communities around the Mediterranean Sea for additional spiritual growth of his consciousness and mind. There are other masters, less known from early times, who also achieved this Christ Consciousness. However, the message is the same to purify your soul and achieve unconditional love without judgment. Jesus said, " Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
Christhood was a term used in the Bible as people then were not as sophisticated in their culture to understand physics as we do today. The invisible world was not as easily seen or understood because of spiritual darkness on the earth. To allow followers to understand the spiritual meaning, Jesus used terms that could be heartfelt and internalized. He spoke in parables and stories, which touched the heart of the listener, if they had ears to hear and eyes to see. Therefore, heaven is a term that defines unconditional love without criticism, judgment, or condemnation.
Edgar Cayce's message about becoming Christ Conscious is told in the book, "Why Jesus Taught Reincarnation". "The great good news of the gospel is not that if we believe, we may go to heaven. It is that as we let the love of the Spirit of Christ flow through us in our thoughts and actions, we are to become like Him. The Word will become flesh in us. That is our destiny. When we accept His truth, we will the sooner begin to act as He did, as Gods incarnate in the earth ...He [Jesus] said, 'Things I do, you shall do and greater!' He said 'You are Gods!' We must see the Spirit of Christ in ourselves and in all others. Then a fabulous new day of consciousnesses will dawn, and an era of love and peace will reign on this planet as He Himself so promised."
Jesus and others as The Budda, Djwhal Khul, Hilarion, Koot Hoomi, Maitrey, and St. Germaine are familiar masters that have a christed soul. Jesus, the Christ, means he became a Christ and came to tell us that we too can follow his path and example. The mind of Christ elevates into a higher consciousness out of the material work of duality. Jesus chose to be an example of raising consciousness into one of unconditional love, without judgment, but joyous acceptance for all of God's creation.
