Alpha and Omega. A Metaphysical Theocentric Concept

Alpha and Omega: A Metaphysical Theocentric Concept.

When the Christ Mind that was in Jesus spoke the words, "I am the Alpha and Omega--the Beginning and the End" (Rev. 1: 8), a profound mystical truth was being proclaimed, affirming what mystics of the past, present and future have voiced. The words state that the past (the beginning) and the future (the ending) are as One, and that time, or the appearance of it, is a cosmic blur, an illusion of Absolute Reality. This is to say that there is no real time lapse between beginning and ending--only the illusion of it. The illusion of time exists to help in the construction of a cosmic duality, where the suggestion of opposites creates the illusion that the One Life of the Universe, or God, is now many lives, many lifetimes--all seemingly flowing in time.

The Christ Mind that was in Jesus--aware of the illusion of time and seeing the Reality of Absolute Universal Selfhood--made known, to those with spiritual ears to hear, that He existed in a state of Universal Awareness, of Christ Consciousness existing Eternally as Alpha and Omega--Beingness without beginning or ending, an endless circle without starting or ending point, an Eternity that simply IS. Because there is existence, it can be thought of as One Eternal Moment of Time--a cosmic timepiece showing only one moment of time.

 Why is all this--so important?

Apart from the theological and philosophical implications, the Alpha and Omega Reality is not confined to the Christ Presence in Jesus; most importantly, it exists for every human being. Christ Consciousness, the Christ Mind was indeed in Jesus--and it also exists dormant in the unconscious of all men and women. It is that state of consciousness where human manifestation is awake to Universal God Consciousness, Eternity, and Absolute Selfhood--where beginning and ending, Alpha and Omega, are as one. In this state of Awareness there are no seeming dualities: conflict is dissolved in the Clear Light of One State of Beingness where all is One, where Absolute Oneness is not thought about, but experienced as Absolute Love. 

As people live more God-Centered lives, they increasingly awaken to the Alpha and Omega within themselves. With increased awakening and as adjustments to a greater reality of life ensue, they become more aware of the illusions of personal ego identity. With those who are old souls or who were awake in previous lives, the True Reality can be experienced either to some degree or completely in their present physical lifetimes. To younger souls, the awakening may be gradual over many lifetimes. Always keep in mind, however, that Christ-Mind Consciousness already exists in all men and women, so when this or other lifetimes is spoken of, it is merely a point of illusionary reference.

When Paul in the Bible encouraged, "let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 2: 5), he was in effect encouraging an Alpha and Omega state of consciousness for all humankind to seek after. He did not view Alpha and Omega Awareness as the sole possession of Jesus. The embodiment of the Christ Mind, Alpha, and Omega was a demonstration of what is in everyone, what everyone can awaken to. Indeed, Jesus was the way-shower to an ever-emerging Reality existing in everyone. 

It could then be said that everyone is the Alpha and Omega in innermost Reality. In the vast majority of souls, it is but a dim light hidden behind the illusion of personal ego identity. Flickers of the Light occasionally enter the conscious awareness of some. During such brief periods of inspiration, creativity, or expression, it is as a flower blossoming into full bloom. It beckons to awaken souls that there is a far Greater Reality to life, and, above all, that they are each an integral part of this Greater Reality.

The Christ mind that was in Jesus described the Eternity of beingness as Alpha and Omega. Such awakened awareness was also possessed by Buddha, Krishna and others.

Yet, to speculate as to which others possessed it is to repress this knowledge in oneself by being more absorbed by the dualistic appearances of those individual lives and to stray from where one's focus should steadily remain that everyone, that you, in your innermost essence are the Alpha And Omega.

God has already blessed you with what you already are--and awakening to.

About: Chap. Dr. Ward

Chap. Fr. Richard Ward, J.C.D., Ph.D., is an Orthodox priest, psychotherapist, metaphysician, Board-Certified American Academy of Medical Hypnoanalyst., and a Christian Conciliator (Counseling, Conflict Coaching, Mediation and Legally Binding Arbitration). He works with Law Enforcement to help them find clarity, balance, and ease with their emotions and the passions which are the emotions that control you. Passions are the emotional forces that dominate your soul and are etched into your brain and its neural structure, programing your automatic responses. They need to be rooted out or overlaid with new programs. You can assume that some of this programing is hereditary. We know we inherit ancestral sin from Adam and Eve. This means this task is not a simple one. It requires God's help along with your own committed effort.

Holistic Medical Hypnoanalysis works hand and glove with both medical science and spiritual science when properly understood. It provides valuable insight regarding the origin of destructive thought patterns and behavior. It takes courage to seek help and to work with the difficult emotions that sometimes surface in therapy. Patients appreciate the insights gained when troubling issues are resolved at their core.

Noetic Meditation and Energy Healing: The Energies of God are uncreated, and thus the Knower of all things. Its knowledge, therefore, is vastly more than the created mental level of the personal ego. The personal mental ego, because it is lacking in Universal Intelligence, creates mental causes that adversely affect health. The greater the presence of God's Energies within the heart or noetic memory, the less probability of negative mental causes disturbing health.
