The Divine Light
The mystic-poet, William Blake, once noted the contrast between himself and a certain religionist, in the lines: “Both read the Bible day and night. But thou read’st black where I read white.”
The point is well illustrated by a fundamentlalist minister who once confronted an enlightened shoe-maker over the issue of eternal damnation.
The preacher taunted, “If I were like you and feared not the fires of hell, I could strike you down, steal your horse and saddle and ride away without a care!”
The shoe-maker quietly answered, “If you were truly awakened, that idea would never occur to you!”
All those who fully understood the life and teachings of Jesus came to realize that ‘Christ’ is not a person, but another name for the infinite presence latent in each of us — the divine Light, that scripture says, shines in everyone that comes into the world.
This means that essentially, you too are not a person, but the infinite, unborn, undying, field of awareness that witnesses every thought, feeling and eperience of your manifest self.
The challenge now, and in every ‘now’, is for you to turn from your confining egoic limitation and, like Jesus, become intentionally one with the limitless Christ-consciousness.
