Dear AC 767,

Your response interests me because it is my strong sense that "your feelings and thoughts of connectedness are NOT now invalid"... not one bit.

Like Darza, I can clearly see (and you do too) that Christ Consciousness is already there in your heart. Tat Tvam Assi (Thou Art That).

You see, to me (personally), the greatist gift Christ Jesus came to give is... Christ Consciousness.

Christ Consciousness is the same as cosmic consciousness, universal consciousness, or the connection to universal mind.

My personal sense also is that Christ did not come ("only" or "to") save us forever personally through his death on the cross ~ but, rather, to *show us how to live for God*.

The way to do that would be through direct knowledge and direct communication ~ a gift we all have ~ the doorway or galactic portal to cosmic consciousness (or Christ Consciousness).

No, I'm not a church-going Christian (they'd throw me out, lol)... but I do honor Christ Jesus and all he came here to teach. You bet.

You see, AC 767... *transending mind* does NOT mean to throw away mind ~ to never think.

Because we are in 3-D and in a timeline, we tend to think from point-to-point ~ our thoughts come in a continuous chain. What cosmic or Christ consciousness does is help you "get outside the box" ~ get outside your own personal mind.

From within the 3-D timeline, we tend to perceive everything as "either/or"... this way or that. The Eastern teachings are "Neti, neti"... neither this or that. The truth lies in the space between.

So, the personal conscious mind is used like Darza says, as a tool ~ and neither Mind nor Emotion are all that is.

Transcending mind means the ability to use ALL facets of mind ~ conscious, subconscious, superconscious, and universal ~ sometimes like a toggle switch (on/off)... and sometimes with Christ or cosmic consciousness overriding and the personal mind stepping back for the Greater Intelligence to come through.

I believe Divinity misunderstands and judges the Eastern teachings a tad too harshly, but I honor her in her path and her choices.

In closing, I'd say again, it is not a choice of EITHER "drop mind" or "use mind" ~ it is not either/or. It is more like "both/and"... Gneuthe Seuton... all things in balance.

Hope this helps explain a bit better. It's so hard to put telepathic concepts and visions into words. Love your questions and your sincere heart, AC 767. Wasayo

Ah yes....

Balance. I like to think of the glass half-full AND half-empty. That way there is no right OR wrong. Ha Ha...

Your explanation is valued. Thank you VERY much, Wasayo!
