Christ Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are terms often used interchangeably.  After a couple of quotes, this short article will share various descriptions of the terms.  

Paramahansa Yogananda (born  Mukunda Lal Ghosh; 5 January 1893 – 7 March 1952), my favorite Indian teacher: "When the beads of nations are not held together by the thread of universal perception of Christ Consciousness, of Christ Peace, they fall apart, knocking and scattering on the rocks of selfishness."

Sri Aurobindo (born Aurobindo Ghose; 15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950), an Indian philosopher: “Men are being constantly invaded by the occult hostile forces and there are great numbers of men who are partly or entirely under their influence. Some are possessed by them; others are incarnations of hostile beings. At the present moment they are very active all over the earth. These are the forces and beings that are interested in maintaining the falsehoods they have created in the world of the Ignorance and in putting them forward as the Truth which men must follow.  When one is habituated to see the things behind, one is no longer prone to be touched by the outward aspects – or to expect any remedy from political, institutional or social changes; the only way out is through the descent of a consciousness which is not the puppet of these forces but is greater than they are.”  

My perception, based on other words of Sri Aurobindo, is that the consciousness he is referring to here is Christ Consciousness.  As a spiritual and metaphysical healing/wellbeing facilitator of 30 years, I am quite familiar with these occult hostile forces of various types. However, the subject of this piece is Cosmic Christ Consciousness (my preferred term) aka Christ Consciousness aka Cosmic Consciousness.

In his book, “Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind” (1901), Canadian Psychiatrist Richard Bucke explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which he defines as "a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man.”  This may be the first delineation of Cosmic Consciousness in modern times.  Steve Taylor, Ph.D. reports in a 2017  “Psychology Today”  article: The main characteristics of cosmic consciousness as identified by Bucke are joyfulness; a revelation of the meaning, purpose, and aliveness of the universe; a sense of immortality; a loss of fear of death; and an absence of the concept of sin. Bucke also highlights the importance of light. Cosmic consciousness may feature an experience of being “immersed in a flame or rose-colored cloud, or perhaps rather a sense that the mind is itself filled with such a cloud or haze.”

Cosmic Consciousness is a term often used to denote a higher or particularly spiritual level of awareness and consciousness. It is said that in a state of Cosmic Consciousness, the human mind is elevated beyond the awareness of the self and the ego, and enters a place of oneness and unity with the universe.

There’s a very good article by Ulla Sarmiento titled “What Is Cosmic Consciousness vs. Christ Consciousness?” dated July 30, 2014 at http://bigpicturequestions.com/what-is-cosmic-consciousness-vs-christ-consciousness.  I’ll summarize part of it here.  Guy Needler defined the two terms as follows: Self-realization means one is aware that the human body is not all we are. This leads to Christ consciousness, which is when one is accessing and experiencing the information that is one’s True Energetic Self (TES/Oversoul) within manifest creation.  God-realization means one is in communion with one’s creator. This leads to Cosmic consciousness, which is when one is accessing and experiencing the information that is beyond the TES, which is the Source/God and even the Origin/The All beyond creation. [I resonate with these descriptions of the two terms.]

Some sources I read parts of and scanned include information implying that there are degrees of Christ Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness. Long-time readers of the Angel-Light Beamer and people who consult with the Angel-Light Team/Collective will remember that we’ve been emphasizing degrees of this, that, and the other “forever.”  It isn’t “yes” or “no” but “how much” (such as how contaminated is one’s auric egg/field; how much the light body is aligned with the physical body; the integrity of one’s circuits, channels, conduits, and meridians; etc.). Years ago, there was someone who would call us for assistance and information who was an either-or person.  He would ask, “Is [name] dark?”  Well, of course the person was dark for heaven’s sake. Few of us are 100% light at this level of existence. I’m given that, at this time, about two percent of us embodied on this plane of existence are 100% light—which is an indication of the quality of the soul. It’s not as simple as that, of course, but simplicity makes things easier to understand.

An admonition often used by spiritual teachers is “test the spirits.”  My personal preference, as a spiritual teacher (and everything else under the umbrella term of “Spiritual & Metaphysical Healing/Wellbeing Facilitator”) is to ask all spirits who show up in my space: “Are you aligned with Christ Consciousness?” I often chant, “I welcome the Christ and the Christed Ones.”  I confess that to me, Christ Consciousness includes loving-kindness, compassion, service-to-others, and no-harm living. You might prefer to ask, “Are you compatible with Christ Consciousness?”  Or, “Are you of service-to-others intent?”  If you have yet to pick your boundary/guideline for interaction with light beings and spirits, reader, we very much recommend you do so. After all, there are those spirits who masquerade as what they are not. 

We are the Angel-Light Team—a collective of beings on mission to assist humanity. We don’t do business. We do service.  We trust Divine to provide for our human instrument through the kindness and generosity of others. You may want to support our multifaceted ministry/mission with a donation to Angel-Light Love. There is a convenient donate button on the ♥Angel-Light Beamer♥, and there is an Amazon wish list (link provided upon request).  May all be well with you! May there be plenty for you!
