Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

we are continuing with Chapter 12, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 58)

"If you are good at preaching, be a preacher. If you enjoy teaching, be a teacher. If you enjoy being a carpenter, be a carpenter. But know, those roles are not the final word on who you are. Your identity is deeper than what you do in one lifetime. Realize that you are pure potential. You are not fixed in one role forever. Your identity is within God, and as such, you are unlimited."

Commentary: We often identify ourselves and others by what our jobs are. Some people are looked down upon because they have lowly jobs, but a job does not define a person's true capabilities. We can do the best at whatever our current job is, but that work does not need to stereotype us or put us in a box. It is up to each one of us to reach for our higher potentials and to transcend our current positions. In our society jobs are often just a way to earn some money to pay our bills and buy a few or a lot of extra things. Whatever your job is, relate it to your oneness in God and expand your consciousness of what is possible.
