from Jesus:
This is a very poetic
description of a spiritual experience that many sincere seekers have
had and that all sincere seekers should strive for. Every religion or
spiritual philosophy aims to describe this experience, and there are
many ways to express this experience in words. Let me offer just one
of many possible expressions of this experience.
As I have explained elsewhere on this
site, your being is an individualization of God’s being. You
were created in the image and likeness of God, meaning that God individualized
itself as your spiritual self. However, God has two aspects, as outpictured
in the Taoist symbol of the Tai-Chi. Your spiritual self forms the masculine
or Yang polarity of your being, and your soul forms the feminine or
Yin polarity.
Your spiritual self is made of energies of a very high vibration, much
higher than the energies of the material universe. Therefore, your spiritual
self cannot descend into the material universe. What descends into this
universe is the soul, and to do so the soul takes on the outer garment
of a physical body. However, the challenge for the soul is to maintain
its contact to the spiritual self while it is immersed in the dense
energies of the material universe.
The soul can only maintain this contact through another aspect of its
being, namely what many spiritual teachings call the higher self. I
would like to call this part of your being for the Christ Self, because
I was sent to humankind to show people that every human being has the
potential to unite with that Christ Self even while residing in a physical
body.
The key to any kind of spiritual experience is to go within and seek
to gain contact with your Christ Self. Most people have some degree
of contact with this self, and it is commonly called intuition. However,
as you expand the contact with your Christ Self, it is possible to experience
your spiritual self. In the beginning, the spiritual self will seem
like a silent observer. However, as you expand this contact, you might
“hear” your spiritual self speak to you in the form of words,
thoughts or images.
Your spiritual self is an individualization of the greater Being which
humans call God. It is possible to have a direct experience of God’s
Being. This has happened to many spiritual people throughout the ages.
It has even happened spontaneously to some people who did not consider
themselves to be spiritual people.
Therefore, the term "silent observer" can refer to both your
personal spiritual self, the individualization of God, and the greater
being of God.
How can one retrieve this experience? By increasing your intuition and
thereby increasing your conscious contact to your Christ self. As you
begin to increase this contact, and begin to shift your sense of identity
away from the carnal mind and towards the Christ mind, you will have
an increased contact with your spiritual self.
What are the practical steps towards this goal? Basically, every true
spiritual philosophy or system is aimed at achieving this goal. Use
your intuition, and the technique for attunement
that I have released on this site, to find a system that appeals to
you at your present level of consciousness.
Use a system or technique diligently for some time. When you feel the
time is right, seek inner direction to see if you need to find a higher
system or refine your practice of your present system. Do not become
rigid and fall into the trap of thinking that if only you keep applying
a certain technique or system for the rest of your life, you will automatically
be saved. The purpose of any system should be to increase your connection
to your Christ self so you can receive a living, progressive revelation
of your personal path to God.
