welcome readers of all beliefs

Here is the second paragraph of the Letter to the Omans from Aul: "The sacred books of the world contain partial reports on the words and deeds of the men, women and children who realized their oneness with God and showed us what can be done when a person realizes his or her oneness with God. I'm thinking of Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Lao Tzu, Kabir, Rumi, Mahavira, Padre Pio, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Teresa of Lisieux, Mirabai, Anandamoyi Ma, Babaji, Paramahansa Yogananda, Guru Nanak and many more too numerous to mention. Through them we received many generous gifts of the spirit and the urge to share these gifts with all others. Thus we have the world's religions, cults, sects and faiths. All of you have been coming back to God on your different pathways, and I greet you now with all the generosity of God our Creator, our Father-Mother, our One and Only."

In this second paragraph of chapter one I mention some of the saints who established their oneness with God. Some are mentioned in the ancient scriptures of the world, and some of them have lived on earth recently or within the past 500 years. Some of these saints established true paths back to God and religions sprang up after them because so many people were inspired to follow them. So I establish the fact that there is more than one true path back to God. These saints would not quarrel with each other about whose way is best, but they might chastise many of their followers who claim their way is the only way. And they might chastise some of their followers who lead others into separateness instead of into oneness. Aul is addressing those people who understand that the saints of the Ascended Host work in harmony with each other.
