Christian Understanding Of Spiritual Transformation as a mystical or spiritual revolutionary is fast becoming a reality into the typical, descriptive, and unquestionable truth that the Mystical Body of Christ is an Omnipotent and Holistically Powerful objective truth, according to what Christ has been trying to accomplish in the world. Traditional Christian piety has been questionable since Pierre Teilhard de Chardin first noticed nature and its theoretically questionable evolutionary process, not only in Mother Nature but human nature as well. Teilhard always expressed an apparent appreciation and love for all forms of nature, in all its evolutionary process.
Aurelius Augustine may have been the traditional Western thinker and philosopher of the Roman Church and has always been a favorite of mine. He stated many patriarchal statements that simply helped me to adjust to some very troubling times of hardship and severe suffrage. He has been considered by the church to be the Father of Western Christianity. I know he is favored by many and rejected by many. Perhaps when we are susceptible to following Christ in all His Greatness of Pure Love we shall come to overcome our iniquitous mindset.
But suppose we all take a little here and a little there, providing it has to do with the great Divine Milieu? This is Teilhard's spirituality that embraces a mystical and spiritual prelude to the mystical embodiment of all members of the Body of Christ. Teilhard claims that we should see with and through the eyes of Christ 2000 years ago as well as project ourselves in the future and the magnanimous Being that the Risen Christ with His Total Self has developed during the last two millennia. Christ also is constantly evolving through and by every soul that turns to Him even in the most minute form.
We all live in Christ and are members of His body continuously developing in a Higher Consciousness. Whether the Total Christ, the Mystical Christ, or the Total Body of Christ, we all assist in some way to nurture this Mystical Union and once received into our hearts are able to catch a glimpse into where this magnanimous Christ is headed. Only in this way are we able to promote in His fulfillment.
Christ said, "I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matt. 28:20). He is the Head of his Body and has promised to be with us till the unification has become totally evolved into absolute and complete Perfection. We may all make our own decisions each choosing different paths by right or wrong turns and choices we make. This process invites us in to see the visible and invisible dimensions consummated and embraced by the Body of Christ which inevitably will be made up of all His followers, believers, lovers, etc.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin believes as many Christians do that we will one day come face to face with God. But he says that, the ultimate vision Christ has for the world is an inseparable connectedness to Him through the "elevating and illuminating action of Christ." He goes on by stating, "Our individual mystical effort awaits an essential completion in its union with the mystical effort of all men."
Teilhard says often times people come into competition with God by not letting go and giving Him the control He desires. Pierre says, "The greater man becomes, the more humanity becomes united, with consciousness of, and mastery of, its potentialalities, the more beautiful creation will be, the more perfect adoration will become, and the more Christ will find, for mystical extensions, a body worthy of resurrection." Here, all of humanity being drawn toward the ineffable Omega Point, the ultimate origin of the Universe, which "is" God. Christ is in fact, according to Teilhard in His book The Divine Milieu, expressing the presence of Christ in all things.
There have been many mystics and Doctors of the Church who have witnessed bonds, unions, visions, and locutions of Christ that clearly understand the proposal that all of humanity will be united in Christ. God will permeate all living hearts by overflowing each with an overabundance of grace and love which we have been hearing for centuries that God's purpose is firmly in place, no matter what the circumstance, one must have the direct and intuitive realization that Christ purpose and God's Will be done.
"If we want [desire] the divine milieu to grow all around us we must jealously guard all the forces of union, of desire, and of prayer that grace offers us, by the mere fact that our transparency will increase, the divine light, that never ceases to press in upon us, will erupt the more powerfully."
God's power acting in all dimensions of our universe drawing all humanity together through love made perfect and the grace Christ provides. "Across the immensity of time," says Teilhard, "and the disconcerting multiplicity of individuals, one single operation is taking place, the annexation of Christ to his chosen, one single thing is being made: the Mystical Body of Christ, starting from all the sketchy spiritual powers scattered throughout the world."
