How can you identify your authentic voice among all the various voices in your head? How can you know for sure what your deepest being is asking of you?

There's a statement in the story of Elijah in the Hebrew scriptures that speaks directly to this. Elijah journeyed to Mount Horeb, where he encountered God. There was an earthquake, a firestorm, a tornado. God was in none of these. But after them, we're told, there came a "still small voice."

The divine consciousness manifested by Jesus was at a level we are barely beginning to catch up with even in conscious circles today, let alone as a world.

He was so in touch with his divine consciousness that he was able to say, “I and the Father are one.”

Pressing the point of humanity’s inherent oneness with divinity even more strongly, he insisted, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” He was claiming that, on the long journey of human development, the divine consciousness had at last become fully incarnate.

Many of the religious leaders of Jesus’ time made the mistake of honoring scripture while failing to recognize that God is still actively engaged in the process of self-revelation.

“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life," said Jesus, “but you refuse to come to me that you may have life."

Helpful as sacred scriptures may be, we can fossilize faith by refusing to believe that God is still speaking to us today through our own inner being.

Those who over a period of centuries refined the doctrine of the trinity insisted that the triune God isn’t three personalities.

For there to be three centers of consciousness in the godhead would be tritheism, which is the worship of three gods.

So why does the doctrine of the trinity refer to God as “three persons in one”? Doesn't that sound like three personalities?

A lot of us spend a great deal of time and effort trying to repair what we perceive as damage from our past.

We are forever trying to "fix" ourselves.

Luke's nativity story suggests a different approach. It suggests that whatever may have happened to us in the past is really of no significance.

What matters is to discover who we truly are in our essence.
