If your decisions and the filter that you see life through is to protect your physical self-image, then you’re not living “thinking of Christ”. Remember, “if you lose your life for My sake, if you lose your life for My sake,” as Jesus said in the scriptures , then you are Christ Conscious.
But, if you’re not losing your life, but you’re trying to save it, then you’re self-conscious and that self-survival will always put you in this “dimension of time” and it will “confine you to the duality of this realm”, you will not be able to understand the dimensions of the Kingdom nor will you be able to see it.
