We fell in love with the symbol instead of what Jesus fully represented. In the same way, for the last 2,000 years, we have not understood the Cosmic Christ. He was in the world that had its very being through him. So, the true light, Consciousness, or Love itself precedes and connects and feeds all of our smaller lights and attractions. This Blueprint was the true light that enlightens all human beings who have come into the world. Franciscan Sister Ilia Delio explains: “Scientists speculate that dark energy comprises about 73 percent of the total mass-energy of the universe and accelerates expansion of the universe.” Somehow the universe is an interplay between light and darkness.

“The visible galaxies we see strewn across space are nothing more than strings of luminous flotsam drifting on an invisible sea of dark matter,” writes astrophysicist Adam Frank. This Light/Life/Love shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.

This great light or consciousness is the source of our little piece of light, as it were. This is Consciousness-a pre-existent form that is the eternal or one light. John is describing a bigger life, a bigger light, from which we all draw. The blueprint has become personified and visible as a human being (the particular gender is not significant here).Īnd that life was the light of humanity. This great universal Christ mystery since the beginning of time now becomes specific in the body and the person of Jesus. No one thing came to be except through this Blueprint and plan. The inner reality of God was about to become manifest in the outer world as the Cosmic Christ. And all things came to be through this inner plan. In the beginning was the Blueprint, and the Blueprint was with God, and the Blueprint was God. Instead of “Word,” which is taken from Greek philosophy’s Logos, I’m going to substitute the word “Blueprint,” because it’s really the same meaning. I’m going to give you, as I often do, my own translation, but I think a fair one. This prologue is not talking about Jesus it’s talking about Christ. Older Catholics may remember that this was recited in Latin at the end of every mass prior to Vatican II. Let’s begin in the beginning with the prologue to John’s Gospel (John 1:1-11).
