It is not about Christianity, nor about the person or saint named Christ, but rather, I believe that the so-called "Christ consciousness," as a spiritual term and a state of consciousness, is my next goal. There is clearly a distance between my current state and the Christ consciousness. Currently, I can recognize that the Christ consciousness exists at a higher level, but I understand that it is somewhat different from my current state.

The feeling of being filled with Sahasrara chakra seems to be a relatively final destination for the individual. However, I think that the next destination is something like the oneness of others or the collective consciousness, which is the so-called Christ consciousness.

In Christianity, such expressions are rarely used. It seems that this term, "Christ consciousness," is used in spiritual circles or in some emerging Protestant denominations. However, what I am talking about has little to do with religion or the person of the saint. It is about the so-called "oneness consciousness." When people hear "Christ consciousness," they may think of religion or a saint, but the "Christ consciousness" that is talked about in spiritual circles is a way of expressing a certain stage of consciousness, and it does not include the meaning of religious faith or the worship of a saint.

This "Christ consciousness," which is the oneness consciousness, is what I am aiming for next. Even if I reach Sahasrara and feel fulfilled as an individual, I still seem to be far from the oneness of the Christ consciousness. However, it seems that I am finally beginning to see it.

In Sahasrara, one is filled with Sat (eternal existence), Chit (pure consciousness), and Ananda (bliss). However, that is only in terms of the individual. Next, I think that Brahman, as the totality or collective consciousness, is the destination.

In Vedanta, after Atman, there is a leap to Brahman as the "totality." However, I don't think that there is a sudden leap to the entire universe. So, conceptually, it may be like that, but I understand that it is more like the totality within a certain scope. For example, it could be a region, a nation, a country, or a piece of land. I think that it probably expands gradually, step by step.

Currently, only the individual aspect of the Atman has opened, and that is sufficient in itself. However, to progress towards the "whole" in stages, it seems necessary to first understand the Christ consciousness, which is a state of oneness.

Although I have, to some extent, experienced states that could be called oneness in stages, I believe that the oneness of Christ consciousness, beyond the Sahasrara, is the next destination.
