(Christ, not Jesus)
Spirit Evolves - The Holy Spirit Or Aum. - Yogananda States:
All created plants and living beings, in the Holy Ghost, or Holy vibration, are nothing but the frozen imagination of God. This Holy Ghost, in the Hindu Bible is called THE AUM, but by the scientist it is known as Cosmic vibration. The spirit, therefore, could not create matter as anything different from itself, for it had only itself as the tissue or material with which to build the Cosmos.
– God the Father –
As soon as the Spirit evolved a cosmic vibratory thought, through the action of the cosmic magical measuring power of Delusion, it became condensed into cosmic energy. Cosmic energy then became condensed into the material cosmos with solid, liquid, and gaseous substances. After creating the Ideational, Astral and Physical Vibration, or Holy Ghost, the uncreated, unmanifested Spirit became God the Father. Spirit became the creator of all creative vibration. This God the Father is called the "Sat" in the Hindu Bibles, and is the Transcendental Intelligence, according to metaphysical science. This Virgin, vibratory creation, or Holy Ghost, became the consort of God the Father; that is, God the father existed transcendentally, or outside the vibratory creation as a conscious separate cosmic consciousness. It should be noted that all human similes are imperfect since by their material nature they are limited and cannot exemplify spiritual truths except in a limited way. In order to divide itself the Spirit first differentiated itself as God the Father and the Holy Spirit Vibration. (In Taoism this the manifestation or creation of YANG and YIN, Spirit and matter, in Hinduism it is the two faces on the statue of BRAHMAN).
– Creation of the Only Begotten Son, or Christ –
Then the Spirit found that the Holy Ghost could not sustain itself just by its inactive omnipresence, so it made itself manifest as the active Christ Intelligence in all vibratory creation, to create, recreate, preserve, active, differentiated creation, or Holy Ghost, is called the Only Begotten (Christ) Son. It must be remembered that Christ consciousness in all specks of creation is the only existing reflection of God the Father; hence, Christ intelligence is spoken of as the only begotten Son.
The Christian church has failed to differentiate between Jesus the body and Jesus the vehicle in which the only begotten Son, or Christ Consciousness, was manifested. Jesus Himself said that He was not speaking of His body as the only begotten Son, but of His soul which was not circumscribed by the body, but was one with the only begotten Son, Christ consciousness in all specks of vibration. "God so loved the world (or matter); that He gave His only begotten Son" to redeem it; that is, God the Father remained hidden as Christ Intelligence in all matter and in all living beings in order to bring all things, by beautiful evolutional coaxings back to His home of All-Blessedness, when they should overcome all mortal tests, and should reincarnate in matter no more; i.e., "go no more out".
Jesus said, "to all those that received him to them He gave the power to become the Sons of God." The plural number in "Sons of God" shows distinctly from His own lips that not His body but His spirit was the only begotten Son, and all those could become sons of God who could clarify their consciousness by meditation, and receive, or in an unobstructed way reflect the power of God. In other words they could be one with the only begotten reflection on all matter and become Sons of God like Jesus.
Before Jesus came, Sage Byasa, writer of the Hindu Bible, Bhagavad Gita, was a Son of God, and know how to be one with the only begotten reflection or Kutasthia Chaitanya (The undistorted consciousness existing in all vibratory creation). So also, Swami Shankara (the founder of the Swami order of Yukteswar (my Guru), and others having Christ consciousness were Sons of God. The Spirit could not be partial in creating one as Jesus and all others as mortal beings. A divinely-imported Jesus could be made by the thousands by God and they would, being predestined, naturally behave on earth as Christs – as spiritual puppets of God. Such Christs could not be the ideals of struggling mortals with all their frailties.
