"Before Moses was, I Am."

But the Christ is an ethereal creature that predates the birth of Jesus. Jesus and the Christ aren’t exactly the same, although Jesus was fully Christ. The Christ predates the birth of the human known as Jesus.

What Jesus actually said was: “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30), and, “Whoever welcomes me welcomes the Father that sent me” (Luke 9:48).

Those who have eyes to see the Christ are able to remember their Father in Heaven. Those who remember their Father in Heaven and repent from the Imitation are redeemed.

Ego must first make way for the love of Christ to take over the throne of the Self.

This is gnosis that was originally contained in the sacred scriptures that formed the New Testament prior to the Pope and Emperor of Rome getting their hands on it and stripping it out.

Thank You, Cyd. More about "Third Order Powers", please.

Merry Christmas.

Jesus said "Take up your cross and follow me." For some the cross represents the commitment to following Jesus.

Hi Craig. That phrase is open to wide interpretation, isn't it? For me, it implies that we are to suffer and bleed and trudge along to our final mortification. Not a happy thought. If "take up your cross" doesn't refer to the bloody march toward Golgotha, then it's more palatable. We are each given a job to do here in this cosmos. Our basic job is to demonstrate unfailing love to one another, ourselves, and the Heavenly hosts. If that is our cross to bear, then that sounds more doable. Although, for the millions of people who are persecuted and put to death for their faith, taking up the cross is the true and literal meaning.

This episode of the Gnostic Reformation has proven to be the most read episode of the series. Goes to show that people still love Christmas and are trying to relate to the holiday as best they can. Thank you all, and God bless.
