Why did Jesus of Nazareth, and Jim Morrison cross the road?

To break onto the other side… of consciousness.

 

Jesus’s teaching #3: We are one with God our father

Distinct but not separate – “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” Jesus (John 17:21)

 

The practice: meditation on oneness

 

“Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

The state of consciousness I want to discuss is Unitive or unity Consciousness. “Unity Consciousness: moving beyond the I-Thou relationship with God to unity, experienced as being one with God.” The human soul yearns for union with its life force and creator. It turns out the creator also yearns to have this union with what has been created. Union with humanity, nature, the cosmos, and the creator is an ultimate reality and can be an awareness to live in. Unitive Consciousness… it is an awareness!

The Apostles Paul’s comments on Unitive Consciousness

“In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” Paul (Acts 17:28)

We are not identical to God but, we have our being in our creator.

Learning to identify with our Higher Self–our soul, not with our lower self: ego, body, appetites, intellect is a large part of unitive consciousness.
