Jesus was a man who reflected the Light of Christ. He reflected our actual being since the Christ, and probably the most a body can ever be, is a reflection of the mind.
Once the mind becomes pure and unified, it recognizes Itself since the Mind of Christ. When that Divine Mind is reflected in a body, you have a reflection of the, but a reflection isn't actuality. Christ is a Light that's prior to time.
How Can We Be Reborn In the Light of Christ Within?
We've to stop protecting the crumbling ego self-concept, and expose and release the shame that's hidden in the mind. Once you yourself have already been judged as a failure, it's simple to express, “Well, I failed before for sure. I was a failure before, however it isn't me. That's not me. I'm alive. I'm reborn again in Christ. I'm fresh and clean and clear in this moment, and I have nothing regarding the self concept.”
Forgiveness permits us to stop protecting the crumbling image that the ego manufactured from us.
If we are reborn in the Light of Christ, a course in miracles once we give all our relationships and everything of time and space to the Holy Spirit for His purpose, everything changes.
David: “This is the way my entire life has been. My experience of the dream of life has fundamentally shifted because my purpose shifted for me. It is for every single of us. It can't be simply for this 1 or this 1, because God doesn't have ‘chosen ones.' ”
Each is called, and the Course says that few decide to listen. Maybe you have been apt to be pleased with that metaphor of “few decide to listen”? Who's got to listen? I've got to listen. I've got to follow. I've got to be the one! I've got to be the one that steps up, and says, “I'll answer the Call.” Like Neo in The Matrix became The One.
Jesus wants us to overlook the images of the planet and to find the Light. His goal is definitely to take us in the vision of Christ, which may be non-perceptual, to be reborn and feel anew, fresh, and alive. He wants us to be that reflection of the Light of Christ that's shining radiantly within!
