“The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused Him of being a bore - on the contrary; they thought Him too dynamic to be safe.

“So what Jesus taught must be understood from the deepest level and that is one of the best sayings to show that he was talking in that way. In the book Revelations from Christ, I found out something that Yogananda said. That Jesus had said son of men and son of God, and people often misunderstand so sometimes the translations themselves are wrong for that reason. So when he said son of man he meant his human body and personality. When he said son of God, he meant the infinite Christ consciousness with which he'd obtained oneness.” PeopleMenWayHumansSaidBookSometimesReasonShowsBodyFoundJesusChristLevelsConsciousnessTalkingTaughtSonPersonalityUnderstoodInfiniteOnenessRevelationsHuman BodyTranslationsChrist Consciousness Author:Goswami Kriyananda
