Does anyone know what the "Cosmic Christ" Is?

It's the idea that the entire universe is inside the body of one person, or that the universe can be metaphorically mapped to a human body.  Its also sometimes called the Atman or Adam Kadmon.

Would that be classified as another mystery of Christ? I believe even those who do not know of Jesus must feel his presents withnin creation. He is all in all. Yes interesting.

Cosmic Ordering is a phenomenom made famous recently by British TV presenter Noel Edmonds. It has become famous due to its straightforward appeal and its claims to grant your heart's desire.\n\nIn order to Cosmic Order and have your wishes granted you must write what you want on a piece of paper and the cosmos does the rest. Alternative methods involve shouting your wishes from an open window to the cosmos; in effect letting the world know.\n\nCosmic Ordering is based on a best-selling (in Germany) by Barbel Mohr about the power of positive thinking. Mohr, 41, who lives near Munich with her twins (she wished for them), is a former journalist.\n\nShe first outlined her thinking in articles in her magazine, Sonnenwind (Solar Wind), and they have since been made into books. Her best-known tome - the one that Edmonds was given by his reflexologist - is called Cosmic Ordering Service - A Guide to Realising Your Dreams. It has sold a million copies in Germany alone.\n\nThe concept of Cosmic Ordering is very close to some of the ideas expressed in Neil Donald Walsch's controversial book Conversations with God (various editions from 1995, including 1997 Hodder & Stoughton edition). Specifically, the concept that every human has an "inner voice" is common to both works.\n\nWalsh's work puts forward the idea that, in order for one to achieve or acquire something, all one has to do is to be thankful to God. That is, the correct prayer is one of thanks and not of request or supplication.\n\nMohr's work says, however, that "orders" should be placed with the "Cosmic Ordering Service", analogous to a metaphysical mail-order store, and that these requests will be fulfilled.

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

Yes it's very interesting. I've heard different versions of this. What's actually a good read and goes into some detail about this stuff is "the bible code II".\n\nif you place yourself back in biblical times and saw a ufo how would you describe it? "it came from the heavens"\n\nif the occupants came out how would you describe them? "gods"\n\nif they showed you something as simple as a cigarete lighter what would you say? "they can perform miracles, creating fire from their hands"\n\nthere are many references in the bible that describe things that can be interpreted as aliens.\n\nso i wouldn't say there is no evidence like a poster mentioned here. check out the link i am providing that seems to show that we have been visited throughout recorded history...

I don't know yet. I have read it over, but not really studied it, and I am going to be watching a special about it tonight at 8pm EST on the National Geographic Channel. I do not make decisions about my faith until I know all the facts and have had ample time to think, pray, and do some soul searching. I suggest that any who are interested in gathering all the info necessary to make an informed decision watch the show and read the text.\n\n To the person above me still waiting for it's publication - you can read the text at the link below. Just click on the link, and to the right where it has the two download buttons, click the "download the entire English text as PDF."

I was wondering that myself the other day. My brother in Puerto Rico tells me the community where he lives is split as to what to do next for entertainment value. It looks like it's a toss-up between UFOs & a sighting of the Virgin Mary.\n\nHey, maybe we could pose a question in the "Religion & Spirituality" category like "Can you prove there is no Chupacabra?"

It's a bunch of junk based on the rantings of L. Ron Hubbard.  They believe because there is a lot of hypnosis involved in it.  It is a religion that uses a lot of psychobabble as it's base.  They teach that all mental illnesses can be cured with vitamins and exercise  It involves thetens (aliens that live in all our bodies), There is also auditing session and garbage about the earth being a prison planet for aliens.  Toss in there Hubbard was a good friend and great admirer of Alister Crowley and some of what is in it is almost word for word some of Crowley's rituals.  There is also rumors and stuff floating around, how true it is I haven't a clue, that when you reach OT8 you learn that Hubbard called himself the anti-Christ and that humans have it all wrong, that Lucifer was God and God was the evil one.  It's whacked out!

The mystery is this:  that the Body of Christ, His Church, is like a wife to Him.  This is why we're called the Bride of Christ.  At the same time, we are also His Body.  So we're BOTH His future bride AND Christ's presence on the earth.  \n\nA "mystery" is something that's difficult for some to understand, which is the case here.  How many times have you read responses from unbelivers who mock us for calling ourselves Christ's future Bride, or the Body of Christ?\n\nThere is a Biblical prescedent for this.  God refered to Israel as His wife.  Read Ezekiel 3, for example.\n\nPeace.

It's a book that suggests all this "contoversial" stuff about the Catholic church and Christianity. One of the claims, is that Jesus had a romantic relationship with a woman (I think it's Mary Magdelin) and that she is depicted in DeVinci's painting of the last supper. One of the desciples is painted with more feminine features than the rest. It's a good but long read, and if you go to Rome or Paris you can take DaVinci Code tours to help you see what some of the art, places ect. in the book.

If you want the truth, I'll tell u--was never there--the idea comes from a pagan celebration but people are led to believe in this, Satan's system that is, that we are to celebrate  his birth as Christmas. Look it up! \n His death for all mankind is the only thing that Jesus said to  observe.  Remember?  The last supper?\nGetting into all other celebrations does not apply here.\n\nThe pagan's will refute

Go here, gives the full story and how it was authenticated.  Sounds like it's real to me.  But no matter how much scientific evidence you toss at they they are just going to go after the science and claim it's a conspiracy.\nhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/04/0406_060406_gospel.html

it is another name for the one world govrnment that will be headed by the antichrist. from this will come the elimination of modern currency, and countries, and religion. It is portrayed as peaceful and promising but it is the stage for evil.

It refers to what the Christian Church calls "the Communion of Saints", which is one of the doctrinal truths mentioned in the Apostles' Creed. The endless interaction between the saints on Earth and the saints in heaven.

Well, there's a good bit of evidence for the concept.  I'm wondering which particular "second great transformation" you had in mind?  \n\nOne thing that obviously occurs to those of use who live under the modern calendar is that the number 2,000 is being measured from the birth Christ, at least in symbolism, if not in astronomical precision.  And the last great age was the Age of Pisces; this one is called Aquarius.  (Remember the premature song?)  So arguably, the time is up for the dominance of the Christian church.  \n\nThen again, one could argue that it's time for the Rapture.  If you believe that sort of thing, it would be tempting to figure it that way.

I don't know of the Christmas carol you're talking about, and I doubt anyone else has either, which is probably why you're not getting answers.  I'm not trying to be rude, just explaining.  I checked for those names in the stories of Christ's birth in the Bible & did not find either of those names anywhere.  Perhaps it is akin to "The Little Drummer Boy," a fanciful Christmas carol.  :)

:}\nNo electronic coppies are available. National Geographic holds the rights to the translation and will be publishing it for sale. not yet released.\nThe Internet is full of rumors about what it says, if you care to google it.  \nThe rumors are probably as accurate account of what it contains as it is an accurate record of the life of Christ.
