CHRIST COME IN YOU IS THE LIVING WAY

Real wholeness/holiness is union with God. It’s the covering of us in Christ and the expression of Christ as us.
Non-dualistic Christianity can be an affront to the Resistors of Grace. Grace is resisted out of ignorance or because of a stubborn insistence on self-vindication and the supposed need of adding something of ourselves to the Completeness of Christ. Non-dualistic Christianity is union with God. It unites us to the self, to others and the creation – it’s what Jesus died for and what He now lives to impart to all who are astute and humble enough to embrace an un-adulterated Him. Non-dualism can go by the name of mysticism. But it’s not mysterious. It’s union with God which is incarnation – Christ come in our flesh.
We don’t have to make Christ come in our flesh. He is already there. Our place is to live it.
IS YOUR ADAM DEAD?
Paul wrote, ‘For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory’ Col 3.3,4 NIV. Our ultimate glory is our life in heaven with the Lord. Our growing glory happens now as we live woven into God and in we live in God’s interwovenness in us. Nothing dualistic about this. We are part of Him, yet we are formed in the individuality of sons. This is perichoresis.
DEBILITATED KINGDOM
In Christ we have a Sabbath life of oneness with Him in the Everyday. The making of religion out of separation is a great darkness – doubly dark because it is the extension of Adam’s tree of death into the age of the tree of life who is Christ in us. It debilitates the Kingdom of God in us personally or dulls people in misguided denominational belief.
Non-dualistic living has nothing to do with the law because it’s not a religion of the bits and pieces of the knowledge of good and evil. In KINGDOM MODE the whole is more than the sum of the parts because the whole is Christ of whom we are a part. Christ is our life because He is our life. We are alive when living Christ our life. But of this body of death when living the law.
FABLES
Some versions of Christianity are an ideology and others are a form of Gnosticism. Particularly those based on ‘keys’ or ‘new light.’ The Kingdom Jesus began is not a philosophy or a belief system at heart. It is the person of Jesus Christ – the person of Jesus as you.
Davis Marshal writes, “Nondual Christianity is experiential spirituality. It is an immediate experience of oneness with God, Christ, and all of Creation. It is unity with all that exists. This may sound like pantheism to some Christians, but I assure you it is not. Pantheism is a religious philosophy, a philosophical worldview, an intellectual understanding of the universe. Christian nonduality is not an intellectual understanding. It is a direct apprehension of the Divine. It transcends thought and religion.” (1) Because it transcends religion it means that those who have it are alive – alive with infinite and eternal life where-ever they are in this world.
Christ is our life or He is not- in which case we are dead folks walking.
