Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are now on the last paragraph of chapter one in the first letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Take a good look, my friends, at who you were when you were born into this world.  You are from all walks of life, all races, all ethnic groups, all countries, all religions.  Some of you occupy so-called "high" positions.  Some of you occupy seemingly "low" positions.  It doesn't matter to God.  God knows your every thought.  God knows all of your past lifetimes and possible future lives also.  You have all played different roles.  Some of you who now have high positions may well have been in low positions, and vice versa.  So what is there to brag about?  But with every moment of now you have a chance for a clean slate and a fresh start.  You can be at your highest and best starting right now.  The power of God is within you.  If you are going to blow a horn for your ego-self, forget that and blow a trumpet for your God-self."

Commentary: We have all played many different roles, and probably in most of them the ego was in control, but it is our real God-self that matters.  We are on our way back to our true identities in God. Our past experiences have had moments of glory and moments of shame, but the experiences did not define us. We are a lot more than any one lifetime of experience.  Past experience is all valuable though, it forms the larger picture of who we are now as we press on to true freedom in God..
