Christ Consciousness is believed to be the state of consciousness of being as Christ was: unified with God. Jesus, in this philosophy, is someone who tapped into his own inner Christ nature.
“Christ” is not someONE outside of is, Christ is someTHING that we step into the realization of through an awakening of our true nature as an expression of God. And since God is the core of our identity, we can all become Christ.
“Many have been Christed, not just Jesus of Nazareth. You can be Christed too.” Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, book 2, pg. 22
It’s an idea that attempts to explain Jesus in light of man’s inherent divinity and is taught by everyone from Neale Donald Walsche to Deepak Chopra. Jesus discovered his own inner “Christ”, and we can too through meditation, contemplation, and stepping into higher consciousness. This is what Jesus meant when he said “I am the way”, is that Christ Consciousness is the way.
So to come into union with God is to realize that we already ARE Christ. Christ is inward, but Jesus is outside of us. According to this philosophy,”Christ” is just a word that is used to reference an internal state of being.
This is a primary teaching within the New Age movement, that we can all access Christ Consciousness and ascend to the same level of being and consciousness that Jesus himself had:
“Accepting the Christ” is merely a shift in self-perception” – Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections On The Principles Of A Course In Miracles, p. 32
This idea seems attractive and appealing from the outside. But as it turns out, Jesus actually addresses this philosophy in Matthew 24, and in fact he warns about this idea as a sign of the deception that will take place during the end times. Not once, but two separate times Jesus warns his disciples that this kind of idea would arise.
Can Christ Consciousness really be a true philosophy if Christ himself warned against it? In this video we will look at how the idea of Christ Consciousness is spoken of in the New Age, and then we will see what Jesus and his disciples have to say about this philosophy to see if it really checks out in the end.
“Be not deceived, for many shall come in my name saying ‘I am Christ’ and shall deceive many.”
