| BkI:17.V.1 | It is not enough to recognize that you are the living Christ. You have come far along the way to truth and you know that you no longer live alone, but that Christ lives in you. Since you are already well grounded in this wisdom that is not of the world, your mind does not resist it any more. However, that spark of light that is the love of Christ must be extended, made known, and be manifested, as that is the only way for you to know yourself. Knowledge is manifested in an act of sharing. Christ must be shared to be known. This is what true sharing means: to allow Christ express itself through you. This is not a matter of following a new commandment, but it is the only way for you to manifest, or share, yourself in the truth of who you are and thereby abolish suffering. All suffering has its root in a rebellion in which you limit the expression of the love that you are. This is what causes the tension that you constantly feel and is the source of all tension in the world. |
