Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 14, paragraph 1 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page61).

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don't see everything just the way you do. We all have different perspectives, and no one has the full truth. We can learn from each other. Don't jump all over anyone who really seems to have a contrary opinion. Remember, we all have our past histories to deal with. Treat people gently.

Commmentary: Even the greatest saints and sages don't claim to have the full truth. A person with a lot of knowledge has to guard against feeling superior, but actually the more you know, the humbler you become, that's the ideal anyway. It's good to remember that God is expressing through everyone, so give them a chance to let God shine through.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 5 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Make sure that you don't get so absorbed by and exhausted in trying to take care of other people that you become oblivious to your own connection with God. Go within and meditate every day, even for short periods if you have a busy schedule. We can't afford to lose or ignore our own inner connection with the total God of all there is. We need that daily connection with the aim of making it an every now moment connection. Call upon your angels and heavenly and earthly teachers to help you and let us remind each other that God is us."

Commentary: Sometimes we might run away from our own inner connection with God by focusing on the needs of other people. Balance is the key word. It's good to remind each other and to ask for help and reinforcement to stay balanced.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 60)

"We will not run up debts because there will be no money system based on debt-money issued by a privately owned federal banking system. We can realize our huge debt of love and gratitude to and for life, if we want to think of debt at all. Let us live in love as much as we can. If you love everyone you will fulfill all the moral codes of good behavior. All those rules of good behavior add up to the golden rule. Love others as much as you love yourself, and be sure to love yourself."

Commentary: Currently our money supply is issued as a debt by a privately owned organization that gets to keep the interest on the money it created out of thin air. It is not a money system for a society that recognizes the oneness of all life. It is a money system set up by the power elite to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. As more and more people realize the oneness of all life we will move toward a system of giving and receiving that is based on love for everyone.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 3 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Now about taxes. We advocate abolishing a money system based on interest-bearing debt. We favor a system of giving and receiving because we see that God has supplied everything we need to feed and clothe and house everyone on earth. Let us manufacture things that are truly beneficial for us and the environment. All jobs that need to be done will be done by people who care enough to do them."

Commentary: In an economic system based on the oneness of life there would be more giving and receiving. There would be no financial elite who skim money off the top to keep on enriching themselves at the expense of others. There would also be no slackers who don't contribute to the common welfare. When we realize what we do to or for others we also do to or for ourselves, then society is more harmonious. A system of taxation, if necessary, would be used in a way that is consistent with idea of equality in oneness.
