"Conversations with the silence that listens."

Silent Sunday Conversation

Christ as a State of Consciousness

This morning I sat in silence

and I felt an old concept

wanted to show himself again.



My old friend was there.

He said:



    “What if Christ is not a person,

    but a state of being?”



I felt those words

were not meant to be understood,

but to remember.



    “But Christ is seen as someone,” I said.

    “As a teacher, a savior, an example.”



He nodded calmly.



    “That's the story that has stuck.

    But what he embodied,

    was never meant to be looked at alone.

    It was meant to be stepped in.”



I became silent.



   “Christ consciousness,” he continued,

    “is the state in which love

    is not filtered by fear.

    Where truth is not defended.

    Where power is not sought,

    but comes from presence.”



I breathed more deeply.



    “So Christ is not a title?”



He smiled.



    "No.

    It's a reminder of what's possible

    when a person completely collapses

    with his heart.”



I felt that there was nothing sublime about this.

No elevation above others.

No distance.



    “That's why it became dangerous later,” he said softly.

    “Not because it was untrue,

    but because people learned to worship it

    instead of embodying.”



There was a long silence.



    “The Christ,” he said,

    “there is no light that shines outside of you.

    It's the moment when you

    no longer needs to protect anything,

    nothing more to prove,

    nothing more needs to be.”



I felt this was not an invitation to greatness,

but to simplicity.



    “Every time you choose

    for truth without judgment,

    for love without conditions,

    for presence without role,

    live your Christ consciousness.”



We sat together in silence.

And I knew:



This is not about following.

Don't believe in it.

Not about being holy.



This is about remembering

that the same state of consciousness

wants to live in you too.

“Christ is not a person to follow, but a state of consciousness to embody.”

Reflection:

Where in your life may love be the guiding principle, without fear taking over?
