Gospel of One; Letters of Aul


Hello Everyone, namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 16, paragraph 5 in the Letter to the Omans from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

"There has never been any question about your honesty in these matters. I know you have a true understanding about the oneness of all life, and I rejoice in that. I trust that you will make sure that every good thing is the real thing. Hold fast to the truth and don't fall back into the half-truths of the religionists. Stay alert to the presence of God everywhere and before you know it the peace and joy of God will fill your lives and you will see through the illusions of life. You will know how to live in the world without being crushed by the illusions. You will enjoy the best of God-Life."

Commentary: If you have the intention to do this, you can do it. If you are doing it already, you know the meaning of this paragraph. An example of a half truth is: Believe in this doctrine and you will be saved. Belief is just a step in the process of being saved. There is a lot more to the process. It isn't that simple or easy. We have to overcome our egos with all their quirks during the process of being saved. We have to see through the many illusions of life on this planet. We have to take full responsibility for ourselves. So it is not just a matter of believing something.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with Chapter 14, paragraph 7 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 62)

"It can be embarrassing when we criticize a brother or sister, and then all of a sudden the spotlight turns on us, and all of our faults are exposed. Eventually we are all going to realize our oneness with God. Being critical or condescending to others isn't going to get us or them to that point any quicker. Scripture says that every knee will bow in reverence to their own God Presence. So tend to your own God consciousness. We always have plenty of room for improvement of ourselves."

Commentary: If we purify ourselves we are helping other people. Criticizing others will only expose our own weaknesses.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 14, paragraphs 3 and 4 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 61)

"Or say one person thinks that certain days should be set aside as holy or special, and another person thinks that every day is just as holy as any other day, well, it is a matter of opinion with good reasons for each position. Let people decide for themselves.

The important point is to keep holy days for extra communion with God. As for what you eat, thank God for all your foods, and, if you eat meat, thank the animals that died for you, and all the people who helped get the food to you, and be at peace with other people's choices. We answer to God. Our own God presence is our master throughout all of our experiences. We all have our own God connection, so let's not criticize other peoples dietary choices."

Commentary: We can be non-critical and still educate people with information. A free interchange of ideas, opinions, and information is good. It is important to stay open to new ideas. Fears of ridicule or reprisals shuts down open communication. The idea here is not try to force our opinions on others. Everyone has their own God-connection to go to.
