The next goal is the Christ consciousness of oneness.

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

The feeling of being filled with Sahasrara chakra seems to be a relatively final destination for the individual. However, I believe that the next destination is the Oneness of others or the collective consciousness, which is what is referred to as Christ Consciousness.

In Christianity, such expressions are not common, but it seems that this term, "Christ Consciousness," is used in some spiritual circles or in certain factions of emerging Protestant denominations. However, what I am referring to has little to do with religion or the person of the saint itself; 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 spoken of 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 Oneness consciousness, which is Christ Consciousness, is what I am aiming for next. Even if I reach Sahasrara and feel a sense of fulfillment as an individual, I still feel that I am far from the Oneness of Christ Consciousness. However, I can see that it is a little closer, so I would say that I have finally glimpsed it.

In Sahasrara, one experiences Sat (eternal existence), Chit (pure consciousness), and Ananda (bliss) as the individual Atman. However, this is only about the individual. The next destination is Brahman, the totality or collective consciousness.

In Vedanta, after Atman comes Brahman, which is the "totality" in one leap. However, I don't think that we can suddenly jump to the entire universe. So, conceptually, it is something 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 land, etc. I think that it probably expands gradually through these stages.

Currently, only the individual Atman has been opened, and that is fulfilling in itself. However, to approach the "totality" in stages, it seems necessary to first understand the Christ Consciousness, which is a state of Oneness.

Although I have gone through stages that could be considered Oneness to some extent, I believe that the Oneness of Christ Consciousness is the next destination, beyond Sahasrara.
