And the definition I got was that Christ consciousness is the permanent awareness of the inner divinity of all beings.
And so being Christ conscious is being able to see the divine in everything.
The oak tree, you and I were looking at manzanita tree this morning, the divinity within a manzanita bush, the divinity within a bunny rabbit, the divinity within other members of society, the divinity within my enemy figure.
It doesn't mean they have to agree with everything they're doing.
And it doesn't even mean that I can't resist evil.
But what it means is in the course of resisting and coming from a form of love, which has the ability to confront what is not right.
And so it becomes really, really important then that we recognize that love is infinite and that we are, I call it, we are holographic fractals of God.
And God is love.
It's not that God has love.
God is love.
They're synonyms.
God and love are synonyms.
And so I think about it then that love is, God self-fractures.
If there is only God, then God is really lonely because there's no relationship possible.
And if there's no relationship possible, evolution is not possible.

Yeah.
And the lullaby brought creation to being.
And the aborigines in Australia have the same notion.
That reality, the world, was brought into being through the songs of our ancestors.
