Gospel of One; Letters of Aul


Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 16, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page 65)

"One final word of counsel, friends. Watch out for people who misuse the concept of oneness. They don't really understand the oneness of life, but they can see advantages in thinking what is yours is also theirs since we are all one. The idea of oneness can be abused by people who have a limited understanding. They will come on with pious sweet talk to dupe unsuspecting, trusting, but naive believers. Just be on your guard for scam artists who have no intention of working with us at this point in their evolution. But bless them, if they are willing to learn, we can help them remember their connection with God."

Commentary: The concept of oneness can be abused and even put into the dualistic framework where it is just another idea open to debate. However, a true and profound experience of the oneness of life will leave a person with a deep understanding of his or her connection with all of life. The scam artist is also part of life and will just be a passing phase for that person. So there is no need to condemn such a person, nevertheless, we can avoid being cheated by such a person with the discernment that comes from realizing our oneness with God and all of life.
