"That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they
also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me. And the
glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we
are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me." John 17: 21 -23

Love
"But if a person
isn't living and kind, it shows that he doesn't know God__for God is
love." 1John 4:8 TLB
"There is no fear in
love. But perfect love (which is God) drives out
fear." 1 John 4:18 NIV
"Love is patient,
love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It
is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres. Love never
fails." 1
Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
"Beloved, let us love one
another: for love is of
God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
Love gives rather than takes, it forgives.
Humility
"Neither be ye called
masters: for one is your Master, even
Christ.But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
And whomsoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be
exalted." Mathew 23:10-12

slow to speak, and slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh
not the righteousness of God." James1:19-20

little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew
18:4
"Better it is to be of an
humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud." Proverbs 16:19
"For
I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of
faith." Romans 12:3
Humility replaces judgement with kindness
"To the religious leaders of His day, Jesus said, "You
search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these
are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you
may have life" (John 5:39-40).

1 Corinthians 2:11-16
11"For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit
of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the
Spirit of God."
12"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely
given to us by God."
13"These things we also speak, not in words which man's
wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things
with spiritual."
14"But the natural man does not receive the things of the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned."
15 "But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself
is rightly judged by no one."
16 "For who has known the mind of the LORD that he may
instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ."

The Bible refers to what I call the Christ Conscious
experience as “the illumination” or “being in the Light” or “in the Spirit.”

John 3:5-8 NIV (New International Version)
5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one
can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh
gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[a] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not
be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' 8The wind blows wherever
it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or
where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
Exodus 28:3 (King James Version)
3And thou shalt speak
unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of
wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he
may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Spirit
St. Paul 1 Corinthians 2: 6-14
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not
the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that
come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even
the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our
glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they
known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as
it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit
of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of
the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him
