Christhood in various parts
NOTE: I ask not that you believe the messages sent forth, only that you read 
them with an open mind. I am not concerned with what you believe period. I wish 
to also remind you that messages received from ANYONE can become distorted as 
they pass through the various dimensions to be received by the receiver. ALWAYS 
go within for clarification. You and you alone are your best teacher and you 
need no other; follow your own inner guidance. How will this world be if we are 
all acting, thinking or doing things identically? On one hand, it will be easier 
for everyone then again the world will have a shorter lived because no education 
or challenges will be required and therefore boring period. We should thank God 
that we have differences in opinions but should also be able to use them in a 
conscious and diplomatic as well as constructive ways to avoid hurting the 
other. Concepts is what make us unique as individual and similar as a group.

If something you read here does not ring true to you then by all means disregard 
it and go on to what does. For one person’s truth is not always another’s. What 
is given today can very well change tomorrow in fact in the next instant as ALL 
THINGS are in constant change. Please use your discrimination in reading this 
and all material intended for spiritual growth, as truth is a personal thing, 
and each journey towards truth, unique.  If your Guidance tells you that an 
article is not of value to you, just ignore it.  It may be an eye-opener for 
someone else.  In my opinion; Christ here have nothing to do with Jesus as every 
baby passed through Christhood (Kunliyo) in Mandingo and (Ngenteh) in Wolof. Edi 

 
THE CHRIST PATTERN
David Spangler
From "Reflections on the Christ"  (Published 1976)
Lectures given to The Findhorn Foundation 
 
          Each of us is intimately concerned with the enfoldment and development 
of that pattern which for centuries has been called the Christ pattern. This is 
true wherever an individual may be upon the Earth, whatever creed or religion he 
is involved in, whatever nationality he belongs to. 

I wish to share with you an understanding of how the Christ has been functioning 
on this planet for a very long time. How he will do so in the future, the future 
will unfold. It is true that we are all very involved with that enfoldment. And 
a centre like this (the Findhorn Foundation) is working directly to manifest 
something very much part of the Christ pattern.
We will begin by going back in time and looking first at the Earth and its 
pattern. The Earth is a special planet. It is the only planet in this solar 
system that has highly evolved life functioning to this degree of density, 
within physical matter. All of the other planets are inhabited, but the life on 
the other planets is primarily etheric and planes above. The Earth is the only 
one in this system, which has a highly developed species operating on such a 
low-level vibratory frequency. This has been part of the Earth's function.
The Earth has fulfilled many functions within the solar system. Part of its 
function has been to provide that particular environment in which spiritual 
consciousness can come to grips with matter – hard, dense physical matter.
In order to do this, spiritual life has had to adapt itself in much the same way 
that a diver needs to adapt himself in descending the depths. Our bodies are not 
conditioned for life under the ocean. We are too buoyant. If we attempt to dive 
very far without any kind of artificial aid, it is not only a question of not 
being able to breathe, it is a question of not being able to get down very far, 
because of the buoyancy of the body. So we have to, in some fashion, place 
weights; sometimes it is a simple belt of lead weights, other times it is an 
entire suit. These weights help us overcome our natural buoyancy and hep us to 
remain under and to go down deeper.
It is a very similar situation with respect to most spiritual life on this 
planet, but with particular reference to mankind, because mankind is the most 
highly evolved life form functioning within a physical body. There are other 
extremely evolved entities on the planet, of a devic and elemental nature, but 
they are not functioning in physical bodies. Man, in order to come to grips with 
this plane of reality, had to utilise and come under the influence of forces of 
materialisation. These are forces, which operate in direct reverse to what we 
normally call spiritual forces, but they are every bit as much spiritual and 
divine as the forces that we normally associate with God and with the patterns 
of man's arising consciousness. In fact if it were not for these forces of 
materialisation, physical matter as we know it could not exist. There has to be 
a strong, I will call it downward pull, but it is actually more of a break in 
the way that it functions, in that it slows things down and allows them to 
manifest at a lower-vibratory frequency.
These forces used properly are very beneficial. They place before man the kind 
of experiences, which he has come to this dimension to encounter. Used 
improperly, they swamp man with experience, experiences beyond his capacity to 
integrate or to cope with. These forces are not in any way educative forces. 
They do not give to man the power of synthesis that is the ability to abstract 
from an experience some degree of wisdom that will enable him to move higher or 
become more skilful. All that these forces do is provide for man the capacity to 
move through dense matter, and to then have the opportunity to learn whatever 
dense matter has to offer him. 

This is the way it started out, and it started out very fine. But it is very 
natural for developing consciousness to become mostly attuned to the forces it 
is mostly in contact with, the forces it can understand. We have all experienced 
the inescapable reality of the world, so-called, against the seeming unreality 
of the spiritual world. People have asked from time to time, "How can one get in 
contact with the higher self?" That question alone presupposes that in some way 
that level is a bit unreal. It is unreal to most people. The impacts we receive 
through our five physical senses are far more definite and clear cut for most 
people than the impulses that come through the subtler senses. Here I do not 
necessarily mean things like the psychic awareness of clairvoyance and 
clairaudience, but the true spiritual awareness functioning through the 
intuition.
