Mystical Insights.Alpha And Omega

Mystical Insights by Dr. Masters read by Rev. Cindy Paulos       When the Christ Mind that was in Jesus spoke the words, “I amthe Alpha and Omega—the Beginning and the End” (Rev. 1: 8), a profound mysticaltruth was being proclaimed, affirming what mystics of the past, present and futurehave voiced. The words state that the past (the beginning) and the future (theending) are as One, and that time, or the appearance of it, is acosmic blur, an illusion of Absolute Reality. This is to say that there is noreal time lapse between beginning and ending—only the illusion of it. Theillusion of time exists to help in the construction of a cosmic duality, wherethe suggestion of opposites creates the illusion that the One Life of theUniverse, or God, is now many lives, many lifetimes—all seemingly flowing intime.The Christ Mind that was in Jesus—aware of the illusion of timeand seeing the Reality of Absolute Universal Selfhood—made known, to those withspiritual ears to hear, that He existed in a state of Universal Awareness, ofChrist Consciousness existing Eternally as Alpha and Omega—Beingness withoutbeginning or ending, an endless circle without starting or ending point, anEternity that simply IS. Because there is existence, it can be thought of asOne 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, theAlpha and Omega Reality is not confined to the Christ Presence in Jesus; mostimportantly, it exists for every human being. Christ Consciousness, the ChristMind was indeed in Jesus—and it also exists dormant in the unconscious of allmen and women. It is that state of consciousness where human manifestation isawake to Universal God Consciousness, Eternity, and Absolute Selfhood—wherebeginning and ending, Alpha and Omega, are as one. In this state of Awarenessthere are no seeming dualities: conflict is dissolved in the Clear Light of OneState of Beingness where all is One, where Absolute Oneness is not thoughtabout, but experienced as Absolute Love.As people live more God-Centered lives, they increasingly awakento the Alpha and Omega within themselves. With increased awakening and asadjustments to a greater reality of life ensue, they become more aware of theillusions of personal ego identity. With those who are old souls or who wereawake in previous lives, the True Reality can be experienced either to somedegree or completely in their present physical lifetimes. To younger souls, theawakening may be gradual over many lifetimes. Always keep in mind, however,that Christ-Mind Consciousness already exists in all men and women, so whenthis or other lifetimes is spoken of, it is merely a point of illusionaryreference.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 Alphaand Omega state of consciousness for all humankind to seek after. He did not viewAlpha and Omega Awareness as the sole possession of Jesus. The embodiment ofthe 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 anever-emerging Reality existing in everyone.It could then be said that everyone is theAlpha and Omega in innermost Reality. In the vast majority of souls, it is buta dim light hidden behind the illusion of personal ego identity. Flickers ofthe Light occasionally enter the conscious awareness of some. During such briefperiods of inspiration, creativity, or expression, it is as a flower blossominginto full bloom. It beckons to awakening souls that there is a far GreaterReality to life, and, above all, that they are each an integral part of thisGreater Reality.The Christ mind that was in Jesus described the Eternity ofbeingness as Alpha and Omega. Such awakened awareness was also possessed byBuddha, Krishna and others.Yet, to specula
