The Cosmic Christ has authority over all things and makes all we humans ultimately powerless to resist his or her divine love advances. All of creation has a destiny to choose and be united with the warmth of our Creator. This God is the God whom all of us can trust as God. Yet, the Cosmic Christ is disrespected in the thinking of most of Christianity. Christian doctrine has much preferred to describe God as a galactic bully eager to trash a part of humanity in the eternal fires of hell and damnation.
In good conscience, we can not nor should we withhold from others what we have claimed to have received. This crime is beyond any definition of the love of God regardless of the crime of the individual. We all have failed to love God as Jesus commanded in Mark 12:30. Which one of us is qualified to love the Lord your God “with all your heart and with all of your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength”. This humanly impossible command was and is intended to confront our self righteousness.
The Cosmic Christ is about peeling the onion of our false self to reveal who we are in God’s creation. Pain and suffering in this world and even in the next is God’s way of peeling the onion. All difficult circumstances are about furthering the day when all of our wills will voluntarily melt into a grand reunion with the God of eternity. With the help of a few thinking friends and a few difficult circumstances, this is the hope that this galactic pilgrim believes to be true.
