“The apostles performed many signs and wonders among
the people. And believers met in Solomon’s Colonnade.
No one dared join them, though many were highly regarded
by the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women
believed in the Lord and were added to their number. As a
result, people brought out the sick into the street and
laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might
fall on them as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from
the towns surrounding Jerusalem, bringing their sick and
those tormented by impure spirits, and all were healed.”
-Acts 5:12-16

“’Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’

“’And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations….and then the end will come.”
-Matthew 24:14
In Acts 9:3-5 Jesus was in Heaven as He spoke to Saul through the blinding light, asking Saul why He was being persecuted, rather than (or with?) the mortal humans Saul tormented, imprisoned, and killed. Peter and the apostles (and Paul whom Saul was renamed) followed the life and practices of Jesus Christ, becoming “walking Christs” performing the miracles of Jesus as proof of their possession of the Holy Spirit or “Christ in you” (Colossians 1:27).
That is, the mystery of which Paul spoke in Colossians 1:27: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” And in 2 Corinthians 13:5: “Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you?” is the secret of Christianity itself: that Christ continues to walk the Earth, so to speak, in the form of the apostles, the believers Saul persecuted, and every modern human with the Holy Spirit; i.e. every believer from the apostles to the last saved person prior to the Last Judgment.
The apostles were able to perform the miracles of Jesus and those persecuted by Saul qualified to be counted as “Jesus, whom you are persecuting” because they do not in truth (intermittently prior to death) possess their own consciousness, but the consciousness or mind of Christ….and therefore each individual is “Jesus”, if Christ is within them. For:
“Who has known the mind of the Lord,
That we might instruct Him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
-1 Corinthians 2:16
Jesus continues to exist in the world within the minds of certain humans and the truth of this very serious matter is that one cannot escape Hell unless Christ dwells within one’s mind and more, actively replaces your consciousness with His own through CHRISTPSYCHIC CONSCIOUSNESS.
“Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?”
“And I myself will be in them…”
Christpsychic Consciousness is real, and it’s process is described in Ephesians 2:14-15:
“For He Himself is our peace,
who has made the two one
and destroyed the barrier, the
dividing wall of hostility.
His purpose was to create in
Himself one new person
out of the two,
thus making peace.”
Christpsychic (“One having the mind of Christ within oneself”; “One having one’s consciousness replaced by Christ’s consciousness in the form of one’s consciousness such that one is composed of Christ and experience by way of Christ”) Consciousness is the cessation of the existence of one’s non-Christ consciousness and its replacement with Christ’s consciousness in the form of one’s consciousness.
Christ’s mind, a “mitotically divided cell” split from the central mind of Christ in Heaven (akin and even symbolized by the tongues of fire of the Holy Spirit split, divided, and hovering above the heads of the believers at Pentecost in Acts 2-this “mitotic division” logically explaining how the Holy Spirit can reside in two or more persons simultaneously) reshapes itself into the consciousness of the person He inhabits, taking over being that person to translate the individual in sinless form.
“But you are not in the flesh [having one’s original non-Christ consciousness] but in the Spirit [one’s consciousness not sharing space with Christ, but is Christ’s consciousness in the form of one’s previous non-Christ consciousness], if so be the Spirit of God dwells in you.”
-Romans 8:9
However, in states of Christpsychic Consciousness the human is not unconscious and unaware of what’s going on while Christ is in the form of one’s consciousness: rather, the person continues to experience being oneself, but this self is in actuality a form assumed by Christ’s consciousness, such that one experiences being oneself—but one’s consciousness is composed of and supported by Christ rather than one’s brain or any other mechanism that purportedly creates and maintains one’s non-Christ consciousness.
As Ephesians 2:15 states: “His purpose was to create in Himself [using Himself as the substance] one new person out of the two [Himself and the saved person]…thus making peace.”
Any person that is saved or will be saved must be a Christpsychic Consciousness, as only Christpsychic Consciousness can escape Hell.
“There is therefore no condemnation
for those that are in Christ Jesus.”
-Romans 8:11
I. EXPERIENCE OF BEING A PARTICULAR PERSON NOT ACHIEVED BY THE RIGID, SOLITARY MEDIUM OF THE BRAIN OR ANY OTHER PURPORTED NON-CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS GENERATOR
The experience of being a particular person—given a person is essentially an experience—counts as the person rather than the medium or means by which the person’s existence is created and maintained. Thus even if the experience that is a certain person is a form or shape assumed by another person having the power to transform its consciousness into the shape of the consciousness of another, it is the appearing or manifest experience that counts.

“Locking the criterion of death into neocortical destruction is mistaken since, as I have argued in earlier chapters, our continuity is essentially psychological continuity and connectedness (the R-relation of Oxford philosopher Derek Parfit) and not physical continuity. We might say that we are software and not hardware; the psychological relations that are me are currently instantiated in this neocortex, but I am not essentially this neocortex nor even (more controversially) any neocortex.”
-Max More, The Terminus of the Self
______________________________________________________________________
While the transformer is in the shape of one’s consciousness, one and the transformer do not experience being the transformer, but oneself—albeit the content of consciousness or that which one experiences while one’s consciousness is being maintained and supported by the transformer is content of the nature of the transformer and not the original self. That is, the content of consciousness of the transformer (Christ) is that which one experiences while Christ is in the form of one’s consciousness. The content of Christ’s consciousness is controlled and determined by another consciousness behind the transformer (God the Father). As Scripture states:
“For it is God who works in you
to will and to act according
to His good purpose.”
-Philippians 2:13
And:
“For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God
has prepared in advance for
us to do.”
-Ephesians 2:10
And:
“For those God foreknew He
predestined to be conformed
to the image of His Son,
that He may be the firstborn
among many brethren.”
-Romans 8:29
___________________________________________________
Think of a movie actor who “gets into character” as a fictional being. The actor becomes the character as the actor donates or utilizes his or her consciousness to twist and “morph” it into the shape of the consciousness of the fictional character. The character exists (or “exists”) through the actor, and exists only as long as the actor continues to use his or her consciousness to support and maintain the shape of the consciousness of the character. Thus the actor “gives life to the dead” and “calls things that are not as though they were”.
Thus Christ, the “movie actor” in Christpsychic Consciousness replaces the original consciousness of a saved person to twist and “morph” His consciousness into the shape of the saved person’s consciousness.
“The God who gives life to the dead,
and calls things that are not as though
they were.”
-Romans 4:17
And:
“For you died—and your life is
now hidden in Christ with God.
When Christ—who is your life—
appears, you will also appear
with Him in glory.”
-Colossians 3:3
(Remember the ability of Christ, the Holy Spirit, to mitotically divide His consciousness to create the mass population of “Jesus, whom you are persecuting”)
And:
“When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision
of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ…”
-Colossians 2:13
CONCLUSION: BIBLICAL SUPPORT FOR THE THESIS
It is expected the concept of Christpsychic Consciousness will be met with knee-jerk disbelief, perhaps accused of heresy (it cannot possibly and logically be blasphemy, as it espouses probably the most intimate union between Christ and a human) with admonishments to abandon such a “crazy” idea and return to the status quo of belief that when one has the Holy Spirit, one’s original, non-Christ consciousness does not cease to exist but endures, sharing space and “roommate-ing” with the Spirit, as the Spirit only helps one overcome sin and functions as the “Willy Wonka Golden Ticket” guaranteeing entrance to Heaven.
However, there are (at least) two Biblical verses that can be argued to unambiguously support the thesis of Christpsychic Consciousness:
Galatians 2:20
Colossians 3:10-11
_______________________________________
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ;
I no longer live,
But Christ lives in me…”
Or the New International Version:
“I am crucified with Christ;
nevertheless I live;
yet not I—but Christ lives in me.”
Notice Paul’s ingenious, deliberate backpedal in the NIV version?
“…nevertheless I live…yet not I…”
This may be interpreted as Paul striving to elucidate the phenomenon of Christpsychic Consciousness through the backpedal, deliberately beginning with “nevertheless I live” before switching to “yet not I…”. The “I” in question refers to Paul’s non-Christ consciousness (which prior to death flickers back and forth with Christpsychic Consciousness in “Jekyll and Hyde” fashion as the non-Christ manifestation sins according to 1 John 1: 8-10 and Romans 7: -25), which is replaced by Christ forming Paul’s consciousness while Paul’s non-Christ, sin-capable/sin-performing consciousness intermittently and temporarily ceases to exist.
________________________________
Colossians 3: 10-11
“And have put on the new man, which is renewed
in the knowledge after the image of Him that
created him. Here there is neither Gentile nor Jew,
circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,
slave nor free—but Christ is all, and is in all.”
“…but Christ is all, and is in all.”
This sentence-fragment deliberately distinguishes “is all” from “is in all”. This differentiation implies that when one has the Holy Spirit, Christ is not only in the people He inhabits—He is the people He inhabits (“Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?”) Thus the “new man” that is “renewed in the knowledge after the image of Him that created him” is one’s experience of being oneself, but this self being a form assumed by “Him that created him” (think “movie actor”). One experiences oneself no longer through one’s own consciousness, but through Christ donating His consciousness to form one’s consciousness (“His purpose was to create one new man out of the two”), that in this form one can only exhibit mentality and action supplied by God the Father (Philippians 2:13) in a predetermined narrative of sinless existence.
FINAL THOUGHTS
How does one gain Christpsychic Consciousness, as only the possession of Christpsychic Consciousness saves one from being sentenced to Hell?
One cannot give oneself Christpsychic Consciousness, nor can one command God to grant it. How, then, does one obtain Christpsychic Consciousness?
ANSWER: One must be chosen by God before He created the universe, thus predestined for Christpsychic Consciousness, and within the rubric of this predetermined fate believes in the existence of Christpsychic Consciousness and [i]asks for it[/i].
The way to have Christ within you, to have the Holy Spirit, was explained by Jesus Himself:
“’Which of you fathers, if your son
asks for a fish, will give him a snake
instead? Or if he asks for an egg,
will give him a scorpion? If you,
being evil, know how to give good
things to your children, how much
more will your Father in heaven [i]give
the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him[/i]?’”
-Luke 11: 11-13
Those who attain Christpsychic Consciousness and are predestined for Christpsychic Consciousness (and thus salvation) wants Christpsychic Consciousness—even understanding this means the death of one’s non-Christ consciousness.
“For you died…and your life is now hidden with Christ in God…”
Conversely, the damned will not desire, much less ask, for the Holy Spirit and thus Christpsychic Consciousness, but will instead possess a “moral sense” that it is right, just, and better that non-Christ consciousness exists. In response to this philosophy—the individuation, survival, and even deification of the non-Christ self Christ states:
“For those who seek to keep their life will lose it,
but those who lose their life for my sake
will keep it.”
-Mark 8:35
As Christpsychic Consciousness and its attainment (the second half of the process of salvation: the first being re-enactment of the sufferings of Christ He experienced within His mind while dying on the Cross) is the entire point of the Gospel, Christ rendered a promise toward those who desire Christpsychic Consciousness (as anyone desiring Christpsychic Consciousness is selected by God and predestined for salvation):
“Ask, and it shall be given; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and the door will be opened.
for anyone who asks, receives; he who seeks,
finds; and to the one who knocks, the door
shall be opened.”
-Matthew 7:7-8
And:
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
-Acts 2:21
And:
“Whomever the Father gives me
will come to me, and whoever
comes to me I will not drive away.”
-John 6:37
There it is, in “black and white”: Christ will never turn away anyone who desires Christpsychic Consciousness, as anyone “insane” enough to want it is called by God toward salvation, and are exempt from Hell.
