Jesus was just an ordinary man who came to know himself and to remember God. Just like you. Just like me. There’s nothing special about him. He was just someone who went the distance. Just like you. Just like me. He remembered the truth about himself, and this made him know the truth about everyone & everything and thus he became identified with Christ. Just like you. Just like me.

Last year I was in a progressive, Christian church where communion is open to everyone no matter what. I have never been of any religion and I went to school for a few years in a private Christian school where if you were not a born again Christian you were going to hell. I have never had communion.

So anyway, when the minister at this progressive Christian church invited everyone to taste the blood of Christ in the wine and the flesh of Christ in the bread, I felt completely overwhelmed. I just couldn’t do it.

Later, in her private office downstairs, I asked her about communion and what it means and I can’t remember what she said exactly except that the general gist of it was that when you took communion you were invting Christ to become one with you. So she looked at me — we were the only two in the room – and she asked me if I wanted to have communion right then and there. In that moment, I felt like I was going to start bawling and never, never stop. So I kind of bolted.

I don’t know if I know even, what I’m asking. I feel The Course moving through me, but I feel stuck about the Jesus part.

Thank you for any help you might be able to offer on this.
