You're right. We're all saying the same thing.

The garden is grand, as long as the weeds don't take over.

very good
just l;ike the passage I quote
paraphrased
"If anyone tells you Messiah is here or is there, don't believe them.
For as the lightning shines from the east to the west, so shall the coming of the son of man be."
That's exactly what you and these other mystics are saying.

Some seeds fell upon good ground…and multiplied.
Grand is the garden of understanding…

I'm ready too, and thanks for the kind words. My understanding of this, from reading about Christian mysticism (from various mystics)and the concept of Christ Consciousness is that its The Christ that was begotten. Yeshua was the messenger, the vessel for Christ Consciousness, which was begotten. That is why anyone who reaches the state of Christ, or the mind of Christ, if you will, is another begotten son or daughter. And actually, at that level of consciousness, there is no distinction between male and female.

I'm ready, sannhet
Good posts these last two days, and a lot of good comments, too. I agree the consciousness of the Christ is what we are to strive for and that making Him our brother is possible. The one word left out of this discussion has been 'begotten'. As I understand it, only Jesus was actually 'fathered' by God. The Holy Spirit came to Him in fullness where before it had come to the prophets only in part. Because Jesus completed his task, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon all people and it is by that Spirit that we can achieve brotherhood with Him and come into our inheritance.
