Mystical Insights by Dr. Masters read by Rev. Cindy Paulos When the Christ Mind that was in Jesus spoke the words, “I am
the Alpha and Omega—the Beginning and the End” (Rev. 1: 8), a profound mystical
truth was being proclaimed, affirming what mystics of the past, present and future
have voiced. The words state that the past (the beginning) and the future (the
ending) are as One, and that time, or the appearance of it, is a
cosmic blur, an illusion of Absolute Reality. This is to say that there is no
real time lapse between beginning and ending—only the illusion of it. The
illusion of time exists to help in the construction of a cosmic duality, where
the suggestion of opposites creates the illusion that the One Life of the
Universe, or God, is now many lives, many lifetimes—all seemingly flowing in
time.
The Christ Mind that was in Jesus—aware of the illusion of time
and seeing the Reality of Absolute Universal Selfhood—made known, to those with
spiritual ears to hear, that He existed in a state of Universal Awareness, of
Christ Consciousness existing Eternally as Alpha and Omega—Beingness without
beginning or ending, an endless circle without starting or ending point, an
Eternity that simply IS. Because there is existence, it can be thought of as
One Eternal Moment of Time—a cosmic timepiece showing only one moment of time.
Why is all this—so important?
Apart from the theological and philosophical implications, the
Alpha and Omega Reality is not confined to the Christ Presence in Jesus; most
importantly, it exists for every human being. Christ Consciousness, the Christ
Mind was indeed in Jesus—and it also exists dormant in the unconscious of all
men and women. It is that state of consciousness where human manifestation is
awake to Universal God Consciousness, Eternity, and Absolute Selfhood—where
beginning and ending, Alpha and Omega, are as one. In this state of Awareness
there are no seeming dualities: conflict is dissolved in the Clear Light of One
State of Beingness where all is One, where Absolute Oneness is not thought
about, but experienced as Absolute Love.
As people live more God-Centered lives, they increasingly awaken
to the Alpha and Omega within themselves. With increased awakening and as
adjustments to a greater reality of life ensue, they become more aware of the
illusions of personal ego identity. With those who are old souls or who were
awake in previous lives, the True Reality can be experienced either to some
degree or completely in their present physical lifetimes. To younger souls, the
awakening may be gradual over many lifetimes. Always keep in mind, however,
that Christ-Mind Consciousness already exists in all men and women, so when
this or other lifetimes is spoken of, it is merely a point of illusionary
reference.
When Paul in the Bible encouraged, “let this mind be in you,
which was in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2: 5), he was in effect encouraging an Alpha
and Omega state of consciousness for all humankind to seek after. He did not view
Alpha and Omega Awareness as the sole possession of Jesus. The embodiment of
the Christ Mind, Alpha and Omega, was a demonstration of what is in everyone,
what everyone can awaken to. Indeed, Jesus was the way-shower to an
ever-emerging Reality existing in everyone.
It could then be said that everyone is the
Alpha and Omega in innermost Reality. In the vast majority of souls, it is but
a dim light hidden behind the illusion of personal ego identity. Flickers of
the Light occasionally enter the conscious awareness of some. During such brief
periods of inspiration, creativity, or expression, it is as a flower blossoming
into full bloom. It beckons to awakening souls that there is a far Greater
Reality to life, and, above all, that they are each an integral part of this
Greater Reality.
The Christ mind that was in Jesus described the Eternity of
beingness as Alpha and Omega. Such awakened awareness was also possessed by
Buddha, Krishna and others.
Yet, to specula
