Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now starting chapter 6, paragraph 1 in the  first Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One, Letters of Aul.."

"And what is this I hear about taking each other to court?  Does it really make any sense to take these matters before a public court where they may know next to nothing about the oneness of life?  The day is coming when you will have the wisdom that exceeds Solomon's, so why not practice on these smaller cases.  Take responsibility for working problems out between yourselves without resorting to entrusting judgment to people who know little about the true God of life.  I'm writing this as bluntly as I can to help you see the absurdity of what you are doing.  The level headed ones among you who can make fair decisions need to speak up and take an active role."

Commentary: Even people who seem to be on a high spiritual path can get caught up in legal tangles. We've seen this in a number of spiritual movements.  There may be disputes about copyrights, or property rights, or personal abuse, employment abuse or deception.  Some spiritual movements have people working for little or no pay at all and it isn't clear if they are volunteers or not. Sometimes there is sexual abuse or harassment, even by the leaders. People need to deal with these issues as soon as possible to keep them from getting out of hand.  And they can do it if they bring out the inherent wisdom of the soul.
