Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste;

We are now on paragraphs 8 and 9 in the 12th chapter of the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"The way God designed our bodies is a model for how we should all work together.  Every part has a function, and if one part is in pain, then the whole body feels it, and the whole body works to  heal that pain.  When the body is healthy, all parts feel good.

You are the body of God--that's who you are.  Always remember that.  Accept your part and be yourself.  Uncover your talents, multiply your talents. Rejoice in God.  You don't need to be stuck in one role.  You don't have to do the same job all the time.  You all have unique personalities, and you are known by your personalities; so your identity isn't locked up in being a carpenter, or a plumber, or a lawyer."

Commentary: The analogy with the body breaks down when you consider that our roles are not fixed. An eye can't change to be the ear, but humans can play a lot of different roles.  Nevertheless, we are all parts of the same collective consciousness, and we are all part of the oneness of God
