Good post. We are told very simplly in Christian scripture to acquire Christ mind. The Bible gives allegorically the appearence of mind (the serpent) and the method of acquiring, through its evolution in quality, this quality mind called Christ in the Occident (as you know, the East calls it the clear, cold, light of right reason). But Orthodox Christianity has made the subjective, objective thereby voiding the process. The Orient and the Occident, the left and right hemispheres of the global brain...the two crosses with Christ at their center symbolising balance, equilibrised energy...the horn in the center of the Unicorn's head...Heracles between the two columns of the temple...Arjuna between Crishna and Arjuna's family, and other symbols for balance of the pairs of opposites as they're called in the Orient. Christ mind, the catalyst causing at-one-ment. An at-one-ment Christianity has corrupted into "The Vicarious Atonement."
