Interesting perspective. Christ consciousness is a concept used in New Age, I just like to keep it simple and stay with Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 2:5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."

So this is what Christ consciousness means?

Philippians 2 (KJV)

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

[Ahanu]

For possible context, Ahanu might be thinking of passages like these from Baha’u’llah:

See Abdu'l-Baha's commentary on "I Was a Hidden Treasure":

"Therefore the meaning of Knowing in this noble Tradition is not and never has been the knowledge of the true nature of the Absolute for that is beyond the province of Possible Being. Rather it is the knowledge of the traces and effulgences of that Most Holy and Forbidden Mystery. For however much detached minds and pure souls seek to penetrate the worlds of Inner Knowledge, their understanding will never penetrate more than that station which is a sign pointing towards the Monarch of Primal Oneness which He has placed as a trust within the reality of a human being. And however much they may fly with triumphant wings in the limitless space of what is knowable and observable, they will read naught but the letters of the book of their own selves. Thus it is that He has said: "Read your own book, your self is sufficient to give an account against you today [49]." For example, consider a circle; however much a compass moves, it can only move around the point which is the centre of the circle. This illumined verse, in the reality of angelic souls, has the same role as that point, for all of the senses and understanding of human beings revolve around that Divine verse. But this verse, shining forth from the Sun of essence, this trust from the Monarch of Primal Unity is hidden and concealed within the veils and clouds of the self just as the luminous flame is hidden and concealed invisible within the candle or lamp before it is lit. And so while this light of the firmament of Unity is concealed beneath the horizon of the reality of human beings, no-one is aware of the Divine states which are hidden beneath of the reality of human beings."

In the fifth stage of love Abdu'l-Baha says: "He sees his own beauty annihilated in the Beauty of the True One and finds the Beauty of the True One enduring in the beauty of his self." To realize God's attributes within oneself is the very act of "putting God first."

So this is what Christ consciousness means?

Yes, to be better by listening to that inner guidance...choices

BTW. The Bible states Jesus is the king of kings and the lord of lords... Who are the kings and lords? Earthly rulers....?

Possibly?
Powers and principalities, however that is interpreted to mean?
Or the divine council?
Angels? Other gods?
All of the above?
Good question
If you look up the late great scholar Michael Heisner, you can get his view on the entities in the unseen realm
I do not recall if he addressed this specific question, but he probably does.
Tons of stuff out there by him, on various youtube channels (run by various people who refer to him often), his books are still available etc.

Christ consciousness

The Center for Christ Consciousness defines Christ Consciousness as “the highest state of intellectual development and emotional maturity.” In layman's terms, it's a religious philosophy mixed with some psychology.
Is this correct?

I don't know anything about Christ Consciousness, but from what I've seen here it doesn't look to me like it has anything to do with Christ in the Bible other than borrowing His name.

I've heard the term a lot from various sources over the years, which might be considered "new age" or "new thought" - those ideas are brushed off by formal or conservative religious people, though "new age" and "new thought" ideas are sometimes drawn from esoteric teachings and just simplified and made understandable to the masses.

On a quick web search of the term Christ Consciousness, I found the following:

This person wants to move the term Christ Consciousness away from what might be considered "new age" and offers a Biblical perspective

Also on the quick web search the Copilot function answers says the following:
Spiritually evolved state of being
Christ Consciousness refers to a spiritually evolved state of being that embodies qualities such as love, devotion, courage, and surrender, reflecting the teachings of Jesus Christ. It signifies a transformation by the Holy Spirit, aligning one's mind and character with that of Jesus. Additionally, it represents a state of consciousness that transcends ego and duality, connecting individuals to the divine light. Overall, it is a term that holds deep significance for those on a spiritual path, emphasizing unity and higher awareness.

It then links to these two websites:

Enlightenment.... not for me..... I believe to have the mind of Christ means you have the desire to do the will of the Father.

I think that is more or less what the first video says, the one by the guy who puts the term back in biblical context.
