Oneness with God and man can be formed in a single mind . One mind is enough to form Oneness with all. God formed oneness with all men through one mind, the mind of Christ. We presume that oneness can be formed only if at least 2 minds agree with each other. Only one mind is enough to form oneness with God and man. The answer is the beautiful mind of Christ. An eg to simplify it .., The other day I had gone to buy a watch for my father . I understood that I could get a good one only if I gather in my mind:-
1) A wisdom about my fathers wisdom(mind) about how his watch should look like
2) A wisdom from the Manufacturer (His mind) which mesmerizes my own wisdom (my mind)
3) A wisdom about my own mind on what I should choose .
When these three things are clear in my mind ,I buy and I present the watch to my father. Then he can surely experience oneness with my mind , this oneness was created in my own single mind before the purchase. The mind of Christ had a similar wisdom about man, God & Himself. We are kept in the position of “Mind of Christ “ between God the manufacturer and other people. Oneness can be created in our own single mind with all others and God . John17: 22-23 “The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. “
Christ gathered a wisdom about man through God. This was possible for Him through the revelation of the Word. The word can work through & can clearly reveal the wisdom about our own body, mind & spirit . What is hidden in a man’s mind? his ignorance , fear , weakness , disunity , hatred , anger and all issues of a self deceiting mind ; these can be brought before him or his own mind by the Word of God. In short., by the Word a man can see his actual state of his own mind. “ Heb 4: 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. “
If we try to reveal the state of man’s mind other than through the word , it becomes judgemental , it will create a wound rather than a healing or peace . When the word or wisdom is received , the receiver becomes a viewer of his own mind rather than a conflictor or a hater . His eyes gets opened. Otherwise he remains blind. He cannot see himself . Your wisdom alone will not work in this situation. As mentioned above , our own mind needs to gather 3 wisdoms stated above like the mind of Christ . If you produce only your wisdom about his weakness it is similar to a man throwing a tennis ball on to a wall. .It will rebound back to you with the same force. The reaction or response in that case we get from the other person is truly the reflection of your own mind or your own wisdom. . Jesus allowed God to reveal the wisdom about man so that he could have oneness with man without any conflict. If the whole humanity could be brought into oneness with God through a single mind( mind of Christ) how easily we can be one with a few people around us if we have the mind of Christ . Paul says – But we have the mind of Christ, 1cor2:16. Tell our selves at least 3- 4 times,” I have the mind of Christ. I am the righteousness of God with the mind of Christ.” , ” I have the mind of Christ. I am the righteousness of God with the mind of Christ.” ” I have the mind of Christ. I am the righteousness of God with the mind of Christ.”
As a small start try saying it loudly. No matter what situation you are in ,whether you are a Saint or a Sinner, say it confidently .
Each time a man looks into your eyes, he is only searching to find himself; for he knows already, that he is part of you.
Are we telling ourself that we cannot have the mind of Christ or viceversa ? Even the last words on the Cross from the mind of Christ was for Oneness “ Father forgive them , for they do not know what they are doing.. wow…, what a beautiful single mind of Christ.
