Christ Consciousness

Q-18: Should the Christ Consciousness be described as the Awareness within each Soul, imprinted in pattern on the mind and waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with God?
A-18: Correct. That's the idea exactly! Cayce (5749-19)

"For AS one uses that one knows, the Awareness of its source, of its ability, of its end, is more and more a part of the entity, of the Soul... Then the next step that should be for the self is given through that of meeting oft with thy god-self from within. For the growth, as He gave, the Knowledge of God and his righteousness is a growth from within... So the Awareness of the kingdom?, of being at-one, of having the Christ Consciousness as thy companion, as at-oneness with thee, is DOING, being - not by faith or by works alone, but by BEING, by doing - that which is as the promptings of the desire of the heart, that has met and does meet in the secret chambers of the mind, of thy heart." Cayce (264-45)

"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)

(Q) "As given, 'We are God, that Spirit Father, performing our functions as portions, yet capable of becoming perfect like that whole spirit and absorbing the power of the Whole.' Then Jesus Christ like us was man, but made perfect as the Whole spirit and so became equal to or One with the Whole Spirit Father."
(A) Correct. Cayce (900 -100)

"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)
