Glimpses of Higher Awareness
Jesus was more than wise. He received direct knowledge from God, his source of secret wisdom. To this day, most Christians consider this connection unique. Only God’s son could have been gifted with revelation in every word he spoke. Yet across many cultures, direct knowledge is a mark of higher consciousness.
All thinking happens in the mind, yet the closer you get to the mind’s source, the more your thoughts are like revelations. They no longer seem like “my” thoughts, the kind associated with everyday events and personal memories. Instead, you seem to tap into reality itself.
Jesus spoke of divine reality, the revealed wisdom of the soul. The same experience is possible for anyone in higher consciousness. This is an aspect of intuition, and what is being revealed is the nature of the soul, or higher self.
Revelation was Jesus’ primary means of communication. The disciples ask a question, and Jesus answers as God would. In the simplest terms, Jesus’ mind was God’s mind. Jesus didn’t have to interpret anything; he was guided by pure truth. Needless to say, he provides a daunting model. Can we really expect our own thoughts to come directly from God?
Why not? Achieving insight and intuition is a reasonable expectation on the path, and Jesus intended to serve not as a supernatural phenomenon, but as an example of someone who has reached the goal.

add your comment »I always talk to GOD wherever i am and i know HE hears my every word because if u become more alert you wil see responses to your chat with HIM. HE is so beautiful, merciful and absolutely loving. Make HIM your best friend and you will never regret it. The truth of the matter is if you have a problem ONLY HE can help you so who better to turn to other than our CREATOR. Rely totally on HIM alone and you will definitely see results and if the results are not what you have been looking for, then ,know that HE knows best what is good for you and what is not. Happy Talking !!

I have had revelations since I was a child. 10 years ago I had a vision of "darkness" telling me that my child would die soon after birth. When I spoke to my pastor, he basically told me it was a dream, to forget about it. My daughter died 19 days after being born. My pastor then told me that she was a demon child because she was born out of wedlock. Well I left the church because I was in such a state of shock because of the revelation, my daughter's death, what shook me more was what the church told me. I have since found God in everything and everyone. I do not go to glorified buildings to pray, I pray all the time no matter where I am...for this peace I am very grateful.

We are so used to being told what to think that when we have revelations, we have been taught to believe it to be crazy. I had to leave Christianity as a religion because when I had revelations, I was told that it was from Satan, because God only spoke to Jesus or those higher in the church than myself.
Leaving the modern Christian church has given me a better understanding of God, Jesus and the other prophets. The connection to the universe for me, took leaving the confinement of the church. I have been receiving revelations since I was very young, but not until the last several years have I been able to embrace them for what they are. What used to seem like miracles are now commonplace if I can just turn off my mind chstter for awhile and listen to the still small voice that is always there when I take time to listen.
Jesus told us that he was an example for us to follow and that the kingdom was within, but that is such a powerful message, that the church needed tosubdue the message to keep control of the masses. Now during our awkening, we know that these words were not just meant for popes and "holy" men, they were words for all of us, so that we could embrace the intuition and revelation that is there for ALL of us.
Bless you for your insight and sharing Deepak.

Knowing oneself and to be more relaxed in the world in general is a good thing.I believe whatever higher power one has is to know not only spiritual guidance but to be in tune with nature as well. Doing what feels right with both the heart, head and spirit is my connection to God.I wish more people in the world thought collectively of doing that which is right instead of just trying to be right in their own selfish terms.Thank you for my food for thought for today

The idea that we can channel Gods words as Jesus did, is ages old. When Jesus was born on this earth, it was like God dropping a bomb on to the people. A silent bomb at first but with no less power as to send a huge mental shock wave to the whole earth. From then on the consciousness of mankind was amplified and has unwittingly changed millions of people throughout history. Yet, still, we ponder how can God talk through us, when we do it everyday without noticing. Nature, the Universe is all but mirrors of reflection of God. So let us reflect back with the knowing and recognize ourselves in the mirror.
Regards,
Rayed

This article brings to mind the Scripture passage:"But who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." (1Corinthians 2:16 KJV)
