Gospel of oneness

Hi Everyone, namaste,

We are now on paragraph 6 in chapter 7 of the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book, "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Were you stuck in slavery when you realized your oneness with God? If so, remember that you are a sovereign and free being in God. I am totally opposed to slavery of any kind, and there are many kinds of subtle slavery. Escape from all forms of slavery, especially slavery to other people, but also from economic slavery and slavery to bad habits. You're not a slave to God either. God wants you to exercise your freedom and creativity. It's a marvelous thing. God has given us many suggestions on how we can express our individuality in harmony with all."

Commentary: Here is why slavery is so bad: It is a complete negation of our Godhood. As souls come from God we are free and self-sufficient beings. But we have given in to the illusions of life. We think we are dependent on the things of this world. We think we are locked into the money system. We think we are locked into this food system. We think we have so many limitations. The only way out it up, and God has given us ways to move up to freedom.
