Hi Everyone, namaste:
We are now on the 11th paragraph of chapter 7 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 82)
"So it really is up to the individual as to whether or not to get married or stay single. Think deeply about what you want to do with your precious life. If you are married already but are now just figuring out your real purpose in life, then perhaps some changes are in order. It's no sin to get a divorce, but think deeply and lovingly. Consider everyone who will be affected by changes in your marital status. Compromises go along with marriage and family life. I'm not writing a book on the subject, I'm just giving you a few brief guidelines. Once again I remind you to seek first the kingdom of God, the kingdom of life, love, laughter, beauty, kindness, and harmony with all."
Commentary: Some marriages do break up when one of the partners gets "religion" and the other person just doesn't get it. However, if the person who "gets it" really understands the oneness of all life, then he or she can be an even better marriage partner and will not feel that he or she has to break away. A person living in oneness respects other people's beliefs and does not act superior. If the person who doesn't live in the oneness of life wants out of the marriage, then the oneness person needs to understand what is going on and respect the choices of others.The person living in oneness will always try to do what is best for everyone.
