Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste;

We are now starting on paragraph one of chapter 11 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book, "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"I'm glad that most of you continue to grow in the faith, but there are still some questions about marriage relationships. This is understandable since marriage is our primary human relationship.  The problem lies in the question of authority. Since men are usually bigger, stronger, and more aggressive, you think man is the natural authority.  But women may be more intuitive, thoughtful, and discerning.  But why does one have to be the leader? Marriage is a partnership.  Let's throw out the old idea that one gender is superior to another.  Men and women are different aspects of God.  Long live the difference! We learn from each other, that's for sure. And in past lives we have all experienced life as men and women.  Let's put this issue of superiority behind us.  No one is superior or inferior--just different.  In some cases there are clear leaders and ones who take final responsibility, but that doesn't indicate soul  superiority. We don't know the soul's purpose in the lives of others.  A person may incarnate as a weak-willed individual for one life time, and then come back strong in the next life time."

Commentary:  A balanced religion and a balanced society would recognize the basic soul equality of men and women.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraphs 10 and 11 of chapter 10 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 88)

"With love as a foundation to work from, common sense, common decency, and common courtesy can take you a long way in living harmoniously with everyone, even with those who don't believe the way you do.

Cultivate you own God-connection and let other people do the same.  Live your life with a big heart, be magnanimous and generous just as God is.  Be grateful for the gift of life and live well.  There's no need to walk around in fear and paranoia.  Life loves you. Love life. You are free, free in your God-self."

Commentary:  As God is life, Life really does love us. Life is also a mirror. It reflects back to us what we send out.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraph 9 of chapter 10 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"So some of you may take your divinity the wrong way and think that since you are God, anything goes.  You can make up your own rules and do anything you want to. That would be your ego-self talking.  The God within you is love, and love does the best for each and everyone and all."

Commentary: We are part of God, and so we are divine, but while on earth we often get lost in delusion and misled by our egos. Divine love gives us a standard to live by so that God can express through us.
