Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 70).

"Now of course we know each other better, and I am more comfortable with my role in spreading this message of the oneness of all life.  The message is still not widely popular.  It isn't the fashionable wisdom of political and religious leaders who see life as separate.  They are always seeking an advantage for themselves and or their constituents.  God's wisdom is much deeper than that.  God's wisdom includes the well-being of everyone, even those who curse him and don't believe in him.  God's way is the slow but steady way of giving us freedom and love and letting us come back to him when we are ready."

Commentary: Isn't it interesting how major religious figures from all the world's religions still see the world through the lens of duality.  When will they realize that God loves everyone equally?  God doesn't favor one religion or nation over another.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 2 in the second chapter of the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 70).

"When I began this ministry I was unsure of how to go about this and felt totally inadequate, mainly because I was thinking of myself as a limited human being, and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else.  But the message of oneness came through anyway by the grace of God's power within each one of you.  Somehow you were ready for this message and understood it despite my ramblings and incomplete explanations."

Commentary:  Even if one is a great speaker and communicator, the message will not get through if it doesn't already resonate within the listeners.  Conversely, even if one is a poor speaker and communicator, the message will get through if it resonates within the listeners.  This message of the oneness of all life will not resonate with everyone, but it will resonate with many people who already recognize these truths within themselves.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are now starting chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." Here is the first paragraph:

"You'll remember, friends, that when I first came to you to remind you of your oneness with God. I didn't try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest theological nuances.  I deliberately kept it plain and simple.  God is the only reality, and we are part of God.  God is the supreme being and his/her nature is love, truth, freedom, beauty, joy, bliss, and everything fascinatingly good beyond our human reckoning, beyond the duality of life, and that we are eternal identities within the reality of God and within the creation of God.  God is experiencing this creation through us and everything else because nothing is separate from God."

Commentary: This is another summary statement for the Gospel of Oneness.  We don't need any polished speechifying about the topic because this is something that needs to be realized inside every individual. We just need reminders sometimes. This is a reminder.
