In the vast ocean of consciousness, there exists a recognition that transcends the boundaries we draw around ourselves—the understanding that divinity is not distant, not separate, but intimately woven into the fabric of every being.
The infinite Christ is not confined to history or geography. It is the luminous thread connecting all existence, the “I and I” that speaks to the fundamental unity between self and divine, between individual and universal. In Rastafari wisdom, “I and I” dissolves the illusion of separation: when I see you, I see myself; when I see myself, I see the divine; when I see the divine, I see all.
This is the Christ consciousness—not as exclusive property of any tradition, but as the awakened awareness available to every soul. It is the Buddha-nature, the Atman that is Brahman, the divine spark Meister Eckhart knew dwelled in the ground of being. It is the recognition that we are not separate drops in the ocean, but the ocean in drops.
Ananda—divine bliss, pure joy—emerges when we touch this truth. Not the fleeting happiness dependent on circumstances, but the deep contentment that arises from knowing our true nature. This is the peace that surpasses understanding, the joy that remains even in sorrow, because it flows from recognition of what we eternally are.
In every face you meet, the infinite Christ gazes back at you. In the eyes of the suffering, in the laughter of children, in the weathered hands of elders, in the fierce determination of those seeking justice—everywhere, the divine expresses itself through infinite forms while remaining one.
This understanding calls us not to passivity but to recognition: if Christ dwells in all, then how we treat the least among us is how we treat the divine itself. Service becomes worship. Compassion becomes prayer. Justice becomes sacrament.
The mystics have always known this. Julian of Norwich saw that “all shall be well” because love is the meaning beneath everything. Rumi danced in ecstatic union. The Upanishads declared “Tat Tvam Asi”—That Thou Art. Each tradition points toward the same moon with different fingers.
To awaken to the infinite Christ in every one is to live in continuous benediction, seeing the sacred in the mundane, the eternal in the temporal, the infinite in the finite—and most of all, recognizing it in ourselves.
One Love.
