The following is an excerpt from “Lights Upon Dr. Dahesh and Daheshism” by Dr. Ghazi Brax:

Daheshism distinguishes between “Christ” and Jesus of Nazareth. The word “Christ” in Daheshism does not refer to the person of Jesus of Nazareth, who has been known throughout history by the name of Jesus Christ; rather, it refers to a Spiritual Divine Force that constitutes the highest degrees of Heavens. This Heavenly Power is the spring of the infinite pure love and it is the only living eternal way leading to the Creator. It is impossible for any Spirit to be united with the Creator-Power before it is united with the divine power of “Christ.” In this light, Daheshism understands the meaning that Christ is a god, that he is the First Begotten Son of God, that he is a Spirit of God and the Head of the Creation. These designations do not refer to a human being, but to the supreme, Celestial Power Itself.

To this Heavenly Divine Power there are spiritual extensions in all the material worlds, including Earth. These extensions, that Daheshism calls “Spiritual Fluids,” are incarnated into the prophets, among whom are Moses, Mohammad, and Jesus of Nazareth known historically by the name of Jesus Christ; they are incarnated as well, into the Guides, among whom are Lao Tsu, Confucius, Buddha, Socrates, and Gandhi.

Accordingly, Daheshism believes that the Prophetic and Guiding Fluids of all the Prophets and Guides are derived from one Divine Being, who is the “Christ.” But these Fluids are of different degrees of spiritual elevation, for the Heavenly Spiritual World to which their origins belong consists of many degrees.

By this concept, the fundamental conflict between Christianity and Islam is dissipated. Jesus of Nazareth (the Issa of the Koran) is a human Prophet. As for the “Christ” (the Heavenly Spiritual Power), of whom Jesus is a part, as well as every other prophet, he is god, for he is the image of God.”
