 I don't subscribe to much dogma or many labels. 

I feel like Christ was the personification of pure love. I feel closest to Christ when I tap into the feeling of being One with everything. It's only when I push aside the feeling of separateness that I feel connected to my Christ consciousness. 

When I first started experiencing this I was a blubbery mess with joy. The ego also rejoiced in this feeling of being special but the irony is that it comes from a knowledge of unity rather than separate specialness. So many who experience this feeling end up with a god complex. Mental institutions are full of people who remember that they're Christ but think they're special.
