Sorry Dude, but I'm going to have to write a long answer without being certain of what I say, because I'm still trying to figure it out.
To begin, in the beginning, I believe there was just one being known as God. God figured out what his existence is about for a while until he reached the point when he decided to create the many beings he created. By creating them and seeing what they found out, more knowledge was obtained.
Through all of this, God never lost his ability to exist as a being that is to some extent independent from what he created. I say to some extent, because he used parts of his own being to create everything. Where else would he get the ingredients, since nothing but himself exists?
Regarding whether he would incarnate himself as a person such as Jesus, I could come up with intellectual explanations as to why he would or wouldn't, but my intellect could be wrong. So I'll state what my experience has told me thus far.
When it comes to the night in heaven experience I speak of, in the past I've stated that I was able to have it eventhough I was an atheist, because I was basically a good loving person. Recently something has occurred to me. As I stated before, at the beginning of the experience I came to understand in a way that was certain that the story of Christ is true. This really surprised me, yet I accepted it as fact, because the manner in which I understood was much more certain than my old way of thinking.
Perhaps, and this is the new part, I was allowed to experience heaven after finding out about Christ, because I accepted what I found out.
Even though I found out about Christ during this experience, as far as I can remember, I didn't find out one way or the other if he and God are the same being.
One night about 2 years ago I tried to remember the above experience with Christ, and I tuned into the memory deeper than I usally do. I tuned into an understanding of how Christ has divine authority. Whenever I accepted this fact I found myself ascending in some way (e.g., moving towards the light), whenever I didn't, I found myself descending in some way (e.g., walking down a stairwell).
The question is, does Christ have authority because God gave it to him, or because he is God?
I have also shared about how I read one night that the Gospel of Thomas speaks of Jesus as if he was an enlightened being; Matthew, Mark and Luke speak of him as a messenger of God; and John speaks of him as if he is God.
Later that evening I prayed for a dream that told me which gospel presents an accurate statement of who Christ is. In the middle of the night I woke up to write dream notes, and I saw the light of a spirit flash that was much bigger and radiated more energy than any spirit flash I've experienced before. The presence of this spirit felt divine and more real than this World. It worked on my energy for about 15 minutes in a manner that was beyond how my kundalini ever did so. Ever since the energy in my upper chakras has been more alive, balanced and clear.
I didn't see nor hear Jesus during this experience, yet I felt like I was in contact with his presence. Plus, such a visitacion seemed like a natural response to my prayer. Plus, he has shown his human image to me a number of times.
For the above experience, I don't know if Christ was telling me if the Gospel of John is correct, or if he was simply telling me that his spirit can visit anybody he wants.
I asked Christ for a clarification a number of times, but haven't received an answer. I don't know why this is so (perhaps I missed it). There have been numerous times when I haven't received an answer for a question. In some cases, such as this case, perhaps it is up to me to find the answer within.
