1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

Paul became enlightened when he was temporarily blinded by the firelight of explosive spiritual energy (kundalini) which caused him to fall off his horse. Paul realized our universal Spirit-Self or Christ Consciousness through the influence of Jesus. Christ Consciousness means the same as Cosmic Consciousness and is the embodied knowing of being part of everyone and everything. The unity consciousness known as Christ Consciousness is the Self-Other-Realization that we are the consciousness of the earth of Joseph Campbell, the I that is We of Richard Moss, and is the I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together of the song, I Am The Walrus, by the Beatles.

The song WE ARE MANY PARTS, by Marty Haugen sung by Christians around the world relates the one Spirit of everything and us as the consciousness of the earth being the same Spirit-Self in our different bodies. We grow into recognizing that we have the same Spirit-Self in our different bodies. The awakening of awareness to the same Spirit-Self in our different bodies realizes (Self-Other-Realization) the love of neighbor as yourself (the same Spirit-Self) of Jesus. If we harm another we harm the other as the same Self in our bodies. You are in the other body. We exist at different degrees of awakened awareness that we are in the bodies of each other. The song:

Refrain – We are many parts, we are all one body, and the gifts we have we are given to share. May the Spirit of love make us one in deed: one, the love that we share, one, hope in despair, one, the cross that we bear.

1. God of all, we look to you, we would be your servants true, let us be your love to all the world. 2. So my pain is pain for you, in your joy is my joy too; all is brought together in the Lord. 3. All you seekers great and small, seek the greatest gift of all; if you love, then you will know the Lord.

There is an old Irish saying: Singing is twice praying.
