Comments on: What is the Christ Consciousness? http://www.brianstevenson.com/blog/what-is-the-christ-consciousness/ The Post Script of Brian Stevenson Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:48:49 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Brian Stevenson http://www.brianstevenson.com/blog/what-is-the-christ-consciousness/comment-page-1/#comment-12330 Brian Stevenson Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:30:39 +0000 http://www.brianstevenson.com/blog/?p=365#comment-12330 Your observations are spot on. The New Age, New Spirituality movement has transcended all religions so that every brand of spirituality is a way to connect with God. Jesus no longer becomes the way, but rather one of the many ways. I found a youtube video posted on a blog that interviews Oprah and Eckhart Toll where they describe the Christ Consciousness. http://flashpointfiles.blogspot.com/2008/03/oprahs-on-christs-consciousness.html Basically, it's a designer spirituality. It's finding what you like in a spiritual life (the jewels) and stringing together your own necklace. Oprah came to a realization when she was in her late 20's that there were attributes of God that didn't jive with her. For instance, that God is jealous. Perhaps, since she didn't like that jewel, she excluded it from her necklace. If you watch the video, she makes a rather astute point about how she believes that Jesus didn't come to start Christianity. She is 100% right. Jesus came with a "Kingdom" announcement (inaugurating the rule and reign of God), not an intent to start a new religion. It's so sad to see that her very correct observation led to rather strange outcome (Christ Consciousness). I hope that someone can sit down with Oprah one day and tell her the story of Jesus from a Kingdom perspective. Your observations are spot on.

Basically, it’s a designer spirituality. It’s finding what you like in a spiritual life (the jewels) and stringing together your own necklace.

Interesting that the owner of your company is including this message for all the employees.
