Genesis and Jesus
There are two stories of Genesis. One without the other would not be of much help in understanding man as a child of God in principle, one’s divine birth right, the energy of All Powerful Love, or the Christ Mind. In other words…God!

Elohim ( God as creative power within Himself and all the potentialities of being God Spirit).
Jehovah (God mind, the actual mental picture).

Elohim visualized light but had not yet created the sun, visualized plants but had not yet created the seed, visualized life but had not yet created the planets, etc.

Jehovah thought light and there were stars (sun) He thought plants and there were seeds etc.God is All Powerful, All Present, All Science, All Good, All Love Supreme/Divine. God is All Love and true creation can only form through the energy of Love Supreme (God).

God is a mind force carrying forward creation under mental law. We should strive for the perfection that God is. The good news as told by Jesus is all of this through Love and Grace.
Jesus said, be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect. God creates through the actions of His mind and all things rest on ideas. Such as: the flower is beauty. Music is harmony, back of day is light. In order for evolution to occur there must first be an involution. Man functions the same way in cause and effect. There is no way around that. After all like produces like and we are God’s children, no matter were we are at in consciousness.

Again Jesus brought this to full circle; Love God with all your heart, body, mind and soul and love your neighbor as you would love yourself. To love ourselves as pure spirit energy of absolute love (God). This is not egotistical or narcissistic. It is self respect in the sense of respecting God and His creations. In the truth of being one with God. Anything after that is duality, the separation from God, the original sin. We only hurt ourselves pursuing that what we call freedom built solely on self-will which man can share with man but not be a part of God in any way, shape, or form. They are illusions, false Gods if you will, alluring entrapments into a self made hell. Simply because man left God out of the picture.

Jesus knew this and lived by the words he spoke for the words he spoke were of Christ Mind from God Consciousness. We are blessed because he shared his consciousness with us in word and action and told us we can do the same as He and more. We can awaken from the deep sleep we dwell in, as it is written in the story of Adam (man).

Adam was put into a deep sleep in the Garden of Eden . Eden being the pleasant, harmonious, productive state of consciousness where all the possibilities of growth can be expressed in Divine order. The Garden being the substance of God or state of perfect realization of ideas into being.

The Garden of Eden is the Divine consciousness. When Adam was put into this deep sleep as the story goes, God took a rib from Adam and Eve came into being. Nowhere in this story does it say that God awakened Adam. And so mankind continues in this deep sleep. For most of us we experience from time to time a spiritual awakening based on experiences be they stimulated by good times or hard times. Again Jesus was fully awakened to God’s Supreme Love and Jesus knew (knows) God in absolute truth.

To truly know God is to know Love. If one is going forth claiming to know or represent God and is not expressing that knowledge in love consciousness, then one may believe in God but does not know God and lives in the duality of a Godless experiences.

Many turn away from the truth. It is all to easy to be lost in the wilderness. In the consciousness of divine love we continue to awaken.

Genesis the birth of consciousness can not be complete without the birth of Christ consciousness / Super Consciousness and leaves for a rather incomplete teaching in God Consciousness.
