Hi LaKeishia! To respond to this—

First, look up what the New Agers mean by “Christ consciousness.” Did Christ himself believe in such a thing? Or did he believe he was the one and only Son of God, and one with God? We cannot be little Jesuses. The Bible supports no such notion. If it doesn’t, but you believe in Jesus on the basis of the Bible, why do you believe this new (100 year old) concept?

Second, we are called not to seek “Christ consciousness,” but to repent of our sins, to love God and our fellow man with all our heart, and to seek righteousness. If we do, the Holy Spirit lives in us. But this is not Christ consciousness; it is the Spirit that proceeds from God and, as Western theologians say, Jesus.

Third, the notion that the Spirit is present in the Communion, or in and among us as we take it, is one of the main Protestant alternatives.
