5547 Xristós (from 5548 /xríō, "anoint with olive oil") – properly, "the Anointed One," the Christ (Hebrew, "Messiah").
Christ is within you , and will only be experienced and found when one activates the crown of their internal being (internal light, heaven is white and bright, the kingdom of heaven is within).
And finally, there is humility. We are not God and never will be. You may achieve quite a level of spirituality, but you will never be God or like unto a god ourselves. Pride leads you to think such things, and pride goeth before a fall.

I think you are right about so many things.
I am not a human being having a spiritual experience...I am a spirit being having a human experience.

If I may 'tune' that a little…
Your soul is a conduit much like a radio receiver. The message coming out of a radio is not from the radio, it just comes through it.
So seeking the kingdom within (through the conduit of the soul] is like tuning a radio to a station.
Its not that complicated. Most of us already know what to do. Simplistically, its a no brainer.
Did you do for you today or others?

Maybe because we believe that Christ is perfection and no one is perfect. You can get close to perfection, but there is always room for improvement.
Maybe as a former athlete who was very, very, very good at what I did, I also recognize that no matter how good you get at anything, you can always improve and keep working toward the goal and someone will always be better than you are.
And finally, there is humility. We are not God and never will be. You may achieve quite a level of spirituality, but you will never be God or like unto a god ourselves. Pride leads you to think such things, and pride goeth before a fall.
And men and women of earth can reach this state with knowledge and practice.

You may be misinformed sweetheart.
If Christ is perfection, and no one is perfect, why is Jesus a Christ when he was a person? Your belief is.he is the ONLY one allowed to be Christened?
But as I posted in the OP, you have been lead to believe you cannot reach these states of human being.
Hence, you may be misinformed Love.
25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

You don't need anything from the outside world to be a Christ. Please do not take this message the wrong way, you are spiritual beings everday, living externally in a body.
Christ is within you , and will only be experienced and found when one activates the crown of their internal being (internal light, heaven is white and bright, the kingdom of heaven is within).
Wholeness
As for being misinformed ... well, I am not your "sweetheart" or your "Love." That's slightly patronizing.
Jesus is one example of a Christ. Buddha is another, so is Krishna, and Egyptian leaders of ancient.
You Christians have the heart, mind, dedication and commitment to reach Christ-Consciousness. But your faith and fear of your god/afterlife, prevent you from reaching these states.
