Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, Namaste:

We are continuing with Chapter five, paragraph five in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One, Letters of Aul."

"I'm sure you know the old myth about how Adam and Eve supposedly got us into this dilemma by disobeying God, and then sin and death became the lot of everyone who came after them. Well, that story needs to be updated in the light of our oneness with God. God created the physical universe in order to experience himself in a world of contrasts and diversity. He created an infinite number of identities in order to experience all of life, in all dimensions, in all time and space. We are part of God, but we have been lost in this powerful illusion of the physical universe where thoughts have been solidified into objects such as stars and planets and everything on them. We are in a world of constant change. Our bodies change everyday and eventually disintegrate, but our Spirit-souls go on forever. In our ignorance we do things that harm ourselves and others, and we call these harmful actions sinful. We don't know how to behave, and we suffer the consequences. In our ignorance we thought death might be the end of us, though we hoped that the paradise of heaven would be waiting for us if we lived good lives and believed the right way according to our religions."

Commentary: This paragraph sums up the God/humans situation on earth. We seem to be lost, yet God is still aware of every condition, and is experiencing every condition.
