"I would like to clarify some information today. It is about the station of The Christ. The Christ is a state of enlightenment attained in which the energy is so pure that intention is manifest immediately and is in synchrony with Divine Will. This state is above and beyond the mental state of asking "what do I need to do. . . .?" The Christ state is one of simultaneous recognition and action." [message through Dawn Stranges]
"It is a matter of extreme urgency that people world-wide should recognize that the TRUTH is you have been born to individualize and express the UNIVERSAL - the SOURCE of your BEING - in an evolutionary manner, eventually reaching peak INDIVIDUALIZED manifestation of your SOURCE of BEING - CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 9, page 7]
Christ Consciousness has been called by many names such as Cosmic Consciousness or Superconscious. It is a state of Awareness or consciousness wherein all Knowledge or truth is known, independent of Time and Space. It is not of this world or Maya. Quimby called it wisdom or God or science. Christ Consciousness is obscured by memory of the ego, belief, opinion and worldly Knowledge all of which are false truths and error leading Man into troubles, diseases and death. Christ Consciousness then is or manifests as Eternal Life independent of transitory physical experience. [see Working with God]

"As a subject which does not admit of verification by the prescribed canons of mechanical physics is held to be unworthy of attention, as untenable, it is fortunate for the cause of humanity that modern science has reached its ultima thule, where the tide of materialism must set back and carry with it the drift-wood of skepticism which has been accumulating during this century.
To quote the words of a physicist (at the Forest Gate Physical and Chemical Laboratories), "The door, between us and the spirit-world, which it has been declared is shut and bolted is even now ajar and a few gleams of light are struggling over the threshold from Keely's discoveries."
The artificial beacon, fed with the oil of learning, so proudly held aloft by modern science, is flickering; and many great minds are rebelling against the darkness in which it has plunged the mysteries it sought in vain to unravel. The Popery of scientific authority must have its downfall now that researchers after knowledge are making a stand and contending their right to think for themselves, instead of allowing dogmatic science to decide for them.
There is a light which sympathetic physics teaches us will never fail: - the inner light, or intuition, if we seek its guiding rays. The Spirit of Truth will lead us into all truth is the promise given by One who spake as never man spake before; and, with the foundation stones of pseudo science crumbling away, there is nothing left to fall back upon but the fortress of Revelation." [Veil Withdrawn]

"Long, long ages pass before that bridge, which reaches out to him from its dark, becomes illumined with its own Magnetic Light of Mind-knowing, which then comes to him as inspiration. Even then man may still not know that God is actually talking to him in God's language of Light. That spark of awakened Light in him may burn in him as genius-man for many lives before he finally becomes fully aware of his Oneness with that Light. Then there comes to genius-man that great blinding flash of Magnetic Light, which engulfs him and takes him across that bridge from his world of motion unto its very stillness. Then he really does hear God's Voice saying: "See me - Be Me - Be thou fulcrum of thine own power." Genius-man has then fully crossed the bridge from motion into that stillness of the One which opens the door to the eternal omnipotent and omniscient Light of Mind. Then, and not until then, can man say: "I and my Father are ONE" "“and know its meaning. That is what Christ Consciousness means. It is the final goal of all men. This man cannot yet comprehend, for the human race is still in its spiritual infancy and the journey of life is long. (The five stages in the unfolding of man's long journey from primate man to Christ Consciousness has, perhaps, never been more fully explained than in "GOD WILL WORK WITH YOU BUT NOT FOR YOU")" [Atomic Suicide? - Chapter 11 - The Material Nucleus of the Atom, part 1 of 3]

Dr. H Spencer Lewis, F.R.C.
As we develop the awareness of the Christ Consciousness within us through our realization of it, Jesus becomes to us the 'savior' in a Cosmic sense; not in a sectarian one.
But first must come the realization that the Christ spirit universally diffuses throughout the divine consciousness of all beings." [Dr. H Spencer Lewis, F.R.C.]
Cayce
"All do not think alike. All approach according to their own concept. Yet as others see, there is felt the influence for creative or destructive forces in the life. For it is the spirit, the purpose, the ideal with which ye think, ye speak, ye act, that will determine what the fruit of thy life, of thy thoughts, will be. If ye sow the spirit, in the seed of the spirit of patience, of love, of longsuffering, brotherly kindness, the lack of hate - but love, love in everything, then ye will find, as He has given, He the Master, Jesus, the Christ Consciousness, will abide with thee." Cayce (3459-1)
"For such comes only from finding the presence of the Christ-Consciousness in self. Then, when the entity as an individual speaks so loud there is little to be said. Others seeing will take hope and they, too, will more and more draw closer to the oneness of purpose." Cayce (3459-1)
"There is that access, then, that way, to the Throne of grace, of mercy, of peace, of understanding, within thine own self. For He has promised to meet thee in thine own temple, in thine own body, through thine own mind . . . And then enter into the holy of holies, within thine own consciousness; turn within; see what has prompted thee. And He has promised to meet thee there. And there shall it be told thee from within the steps thou shouldst take day by day, step by step. Not that some great exploit, some great manner of change should come within thine body, thine mind, but line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little. For it is, as He has given, not the knowledge alone but the practical application - in thine daily experience with thy fellow man - that counts." Cayce (922-1)
"There is being created that within the physical being that will have such Christ Consciousness as to eradicate all disorder." [Cayce 281-5]
"Vibration is, in its simple essence or word, RAISING the Christ Consciousness in self to such an extent as it may flow OUT of self to him thou would direct it to." [Cayce 281-7]

Franz Hartmann
“Man is the god and creator of his own little world, and therefore similar processes take place when a person, by the power of introspection, directs his thoughts towards his own centre of consciousness within his 'heart.' Now this activity going towards the centre could never of itself have created an external world, because the external world belongs to the periphery, and it requires a centrifugal power to call it into existence.
The introspective activity of the Mind is a centripetal power, and could therefore not act from the centre towards the periphery. But you know that every action is followed by a reaction. The centripetal power, finding resistance at the centre, returns and evolves a centrifugal activity, and this centrifugal power is called Imagination.
This Soul-energy is the medium between the centre and the periphery, between Spirit and Matter, between the Creator and His creations, between God and Nature, or whatever names you may choose to give to them. The Soul-consciousness is the product of the centrifugal activity of the Mind, put into action by the centripetal activity of the Will.” [With the Adepts, An Adventure Among the Rosicrucians, c. 1910 by Franz Hartmann]

(Q) What is the difference between the desire of the heart and the desire of the will? . . .
(A) Only in Him. In speaking of the heart and of the will, analyze for the moment as to what they represent in thine own experience. The heart is ordinarily considered the seat of life in the physical, while the will as a motivative factor in the mental and spiritual realm. To be sure, these may be made one. But how? In that the will of self and the desire of the heart are selfless in the Christ Consciousness. Even as He gave in the shadow of the day when the Cross loomed before Him on Calvary, when the desire of the heart and the will of self were made one. Indeed, as He gave, the flesh is weak, the spirit is willing . . . For, the soul is in Him; yet, as the promise in the Christ is, the soul shall be free in Him through that love, through that manner of making the desire and the will one in the Father as did He in Gethsemane." Cayce (262-64)
"Time never was when there was not a Christ and not a Christ mass...
"(There) is in EVERY birth - the possibilities, the glories, the actuating of that influence of that entrance again of god-man into the earth...
"Know this had no beginning in the 1900 years ago, but again and Again and AGAIN! And it may be today, He may be born into the (God) consciousness; not as a physical birth - but each moment that a physical birth is experienced... is an OPPORTUNITY for the Christ-entrance again." Cayce (262-103)
"The light and love draws near to you, and your ways are close to His ways. Keep faithful in the little things. Be not unmindful that persistence is a whole sister of patience, and if you would know the greater joy, the greater love of the Christ Consciousness, these you must keep in your daily life." [Cayce 262-109]
5/1/34 See 5749-5 on Second Coming which speaks of Edgar Cayce as the forerunner of that influence in the earth known as the Christ Consciousness.
12/20/34 EC, on awaking from Ck. Physical Rdg. 287-16, said
"Oh, that beautiful music!" When questioned, he said "I was about to have an experience when you woke me up. I heard the most beautiful music. I seemed to get the impression that things are going to happen up in the air that have never been experienced or seen by people before - war, turmoil and strife (Armageddon) - wars and rumors of wars; that they will be stopped by the forces in the heavens."
1934 ". . . These, then, are rather those conditions as may be expected: The spirituality of the American people will be rather as the criterion of that as is to become the world's forces, for, as has been given in that of the peace table, there sat the Master in the American people, with the brotherhood of the world accepted - war was at an end. Without same there will again come the Armageddon, and in same there will be seen that the Christian forces will AGAIN move westward."
"As to times, as to seasons, as to places, ALONE is it given to those who have named the name - and who bear the mark of those of His calling and His election in their bodies. To them it shall be given.
"As to those things that deal with the mental of the earth, these shall call upon the mountains to cover many. As ye have seen those in lowly places raised to those of power in the political, in the machinery of nations' activities, so shall ye see those in high places reduced and calling on the waters of darkness to cover them. And those that in the inmost recesses of theirselves awaken to the spiritual truths that are to be given, and those places that have acted in the capacity of teachers among men, the rottenness of those that have ministered in places will be brought to light and turmoils and strifes shall enter. And, as there is the wavering of those that would enter as emissaries, as teachers, from the throne of life, the throne of light, the throne of immortality, and wage war in the air with those of darkness, then know ye the Armageddon is at hand. For with the great numbers of the gathering of the hosts of those that have hindered and would make for man and his weaknesses stumbling blocks, they shall wage war with the spirits of light that come into the earth for this awakening; that have been and are being called by those of the sons of men into the service of the living God. For He, as ye have been told, is not the God of the dead, not the God of those that have forsaken Him, but those that love His coming, that love His associations among men - the God of the LIVING, the God of Life! For, He IS Life." Cayce (287-16)^
"God's angels and exalted saints in the immanent-transcendental sphere of omnipresent Christ consciousness can move freely in any realm of Infinity. They can ascend to the region of the father; there the self is dissolved in the unfathomable Blissful Spirit. Yet the impression of their individuality remains and can be reclaimed at will or at God's command. In the Christ Consciousness sphere they have individuality but are in an ecstatic state. They dissolve their astral bodies there. When they descend into the vibration region they can be seen with astral bodies there except made of a glow of Light." [Paramahansa Yogananda]
Swinburne Clymer
"The Perfect Man is Christ; and Christ is God. This is the birthright of every human soul. It was taught in all the Greater Mysteries of Antiquity, but the Exoteric creeds of Christendom derived from the parables and allegories in which this doctrine was concealed from the ignorant and the profane, have accorded this Supreme Consummation to Jesus alone, and made it obscure to all the rest of humanity. In place of this, the grandest doctrine ever revealed to man, theologians have set up Salvation by Faith in a man-made Creed, and the Authority of the Church to "bind or loose on Earth or in Heaven." Law is annulled; Justice, dethroned; Merit, ignored; Effort discouraged; and Sectarianism, Atheism, and Materialism are the result.
All real Initiation is an internal, not an external, process. The outer ceremony is dead and useful only so far as it symbolizes and illustrates, and thereby makes clear the inward change. In many of the Greater Orders, Ceremonial Initiation is entirely dispensed with, as it clouds, in many cases, the mind that would otherwise be clear. In true Initiation no ceremonies are needed. To Initiate truly means to transform; to transform means to regenerate; and this comes only by trial, by effort, by self-conquest, by sorrow, disappointment, failure, and a daily renewal of the conflict. It is in this that man must "work out his own salvation." The consummation of Initiation is the Perfect Master, the Christos, for these are the same. They are the goal, the perfect consummation of human evolution.
By constant struggle and daily conflict the Master has conquered self. Life after life he has gathered experience. Truly hath he been a "man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." He has assailed all problems; studied all science; exhausted all litanies; apprehended all Philosophies; practiced all arts. At every step he has loved and helped humanity more and more, and sought his own desires less and less. Grown familiar thus with all planes of life by sore trial, by bitter conflict, by frequent defeat, by hope deferred, almost despairing, he has at last renounced self utterly, and so became "dead to the world."
The Initiate of the highest grade — one who has power to command the elemental spirits, and thereby to hush the storm and still the waves — can, through the same agency, heal the disorders and regenerate the functions of the body. And this he does by an exercise of his will which sets in motion the magnetic fluid." [The philosophy of fire, c. 1907 by Swinburne Clymer]
