I am not into theories , my recall of my life at that time of that first Easter event and meeting Jesus once I can verify the politics at the temple where I was a member , able to speak about it as fact , not a acquired belief in this life , and can practice use of the life force as a result ,
I received a impulse of the "I AM " or Christ consciousness directly then which has flowered in this life so I can complete / balance out standing imbalances in my human soul awareness . An intimate sense of the "Father " is in every cell of my body as a result .
