Jesus’ Human and Divine Minds
Audio File
Consciousness of divinity was a gradual growth in the mind of Jesus up to the occasion of his baptism. After he became fully self-conscious of his divine nature, prehuman existence, and universe prerogatives, he seems to have possessed the power of variously limiting his human consciousness of his divinity. It appeared to the revelators that from his baptism until the crucifixion it was entirely optional with Jesus whether to depend only on the human mind or to utilize the knowledge of both the human and the divine minds. At times he appeared to avail himself of only that information which was resident in the human intellect. On other occasions he appeared to act with such fullness of knowledge and wisdom as could be afforded only by the utilization of the superhuman content of his divine consciousness.
The revelators could understand his unique performances only by accepting the theory that he could, at will, self-limit his divinity consciousness. They were fully cognizant that he frequently withheld from his associates his foreknowledge of events, and that he was aware of the nature of their thinking and planning. They understood that he did not wish his followers to know too fully that he was able to discern their thoughts and to penetrate their plans. He did not desire too far to transcend the concept of the human as it was held in the minds of his apostles and disciples.
The revelators were utterly at a loss to differentiate between his practice of self-limiting his divine consciousness and his technique of concealing his preknowledge and thought discernment from his human associates. They were convinced that he used both of these techniques, but they were not always able, in a given instance, to specify which method he may have employed. They frequently observed him acting with only the human content of consciousness; then would they behold him in conference with the directors of the celestial hosts of the universe and discern the undoubted functioning of the divine mind. And then on almost numberless occasions did they witness the working of this combined personality of man and God as it was activated by the apparent perfect union of the human and the divine minds. This is the limit of their knowledge of such phenomena; they really did not actually know the full truth about this mystery.
