Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 9 in the 11th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

If I was to brag about myself, it would because I can see through all these ridiculous notions of religious and racial superiority. God is God of all, yellow, red, black, and white, Christian, Jew,Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and atheists. If I could convert you to anything, it would be to the viewpoint of the universal love of God.

Commentary: Yes, we could pat ourselves on the back for having a certain level of understanding, but it wouldn't suffice to stand pat on current understanding. There is always so much more  to learn and understand.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone, namaste:

We are now moving on to paragraph 7 in the 11th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

Because you are so dazzled and easily fooled by the polished and glamorous show-people, let me try my hand at it. Do they brag of being the real Christians, the most devout Muslims, the most pure Buddhists, or the true patriots of their countries? I'm their match. Are they the true servants of God? I can go them one better. (I can't believe I'm writing this. It's slightly crazy, but hear me out.) No, wait, I'm stopping myself. I'm not going to summarize all my hardships, but let me honor all those people who have been tortured and killed because they believed something different from the majority of their conquerors. It's a sorry state of life when people can't even believe in God in their own way without being persecuted for it. Christians have persecuted native peoples and heretics. Muslims have persecuted heretics and people they have conquered. Hindus have persecuted Christians and others. Confucianists have persecuted Taoists and vice versa. Atheists have persecuted believers of all types. Believers have persecuted atheists. They all think they have the right way and anyone who disagrees is a threat to them. And that's not the half of it. I'm not even getting into racial and ethnic persecution. When I see any of this insane religious and racial persecution, I feel an angry fire burning within me. It's so totally unnecessary.

Commentary; Fear used to be the big factor in persecution of those who were different from the majority, and it still is because fear rises wherever there is a lack of love. Only love can heal and prevent more persecution of people who have different beliefs. How can people have more love? That can only be answered on an individual basis as decisions are made one by one.

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 11 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

Now to get back on my soapbox--and please forgive me if I sound a little foolish here. Or just accept that I am a fool and hear me out. I didn't learn this from the masters of wisdom. It's a habit that I haven't completely shaken yet. I picked it up in my early years when I was influenced by the glamor and glitz of outwardly successful people. I know you have a tolerance for that because you see it all the time on your TV's and political and show business arenas.

Commentary: The next paragraph will reveal what he is getting at, but this is to show that people are often deceived by glamorous appearances.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraph 5 of chapter 11 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One: Letters of Aul.

I'm standing firm on this position. I'm not taking your money in exchange for proclaiming this message. I don't want to be included with those politicians and preachers who always need more money to promote their separatist ways. They are a sad bunch aren't they? They pose as your advocates before God and governments, but lead you into the ditches of life. They masquerade as the servants of God, and even as beautiful angels of light, yet it's all a sham. But no one fools God. They'll get straightened out in the end.

Commentary: Many of these religious leaders are sincere in their beliefs and don't think they are misleading anybody. They think they have the truth as they see it.  However, if you analyze their advice from the standpoint of oneness, you can see that they are still lost in duality and are leading people further into duality.  For example, any religious leaders who advocate or condone violence to reach their ends are lost in duality.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone, namaste;

We are now on paragraph 4 of chapter 11 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 122).

Sometimes I wonder if it was a mistake to put so much energy into your area. There are plenty of other places that would appreciate my ministry. Nevertheless, I still come to you, expecting and asking for nothing in return. My needs have all been supplied by people in other areas such as Acedonia, who believe in my mission. I didn't impose on you at all. It is a point of honor with me. God actually supplies all my needs, working through His creation.

Commentary: Second guessing yourself is probably a good thing to do.Was I led by the Spirit or did my ego influence my decision? If you have faith in your spiritual guidance, then even if you make a mistake you can get back on track with some soul searching.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste;

We are now on paragraph 3 in the 11th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

They come on very persuasively and appeal to your baser instincts. They have the media and propaganda mills behind them. But if you listen to them, why can't you listen to little ol' me? It's true that I don't have all the media publicity or support behind me. And I'm not a polished speaker with a great musical show fronting for me. But when I do open my mouth at least I tell you the truth: We are all one.

Commentary:If you think of the major televangelists out there, how many emphasize that we are equally parts of the oneness of God? And then, how many major shows do the supporters of the Gospel of Oneness have? This disparity comes about because we still don't have the popular grass roots support. We are working on increasing that support. Thank you.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone, namaste:

We are now onto paragraph 2 in the 11th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

I've observed that whenever some big name political or religious leader comes to town, or takes to the radio and television broadcasting studios, then you fall back under their banners of separation. They teach my country over all, or my religion over all. They teach that people of other countries or religions are less than you, that their lives are less valuable and that God favors you and yours over them and theirs.

Big time leaders still hold sway over the masses, in every religion and political party.The leaders in the oneness of all life world view do not yet have a mass following as of 2014.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are moving on to chapter 11 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

That said, I still admit to being upset when we are slandered or our message is distorted, because I really care about you and want you to know the truth. I'm passionate about spreading this truth of oneness. You have heard the wonderful gospel of oneness, and yet the religionists and politicians come back to you with their lies of separation.

Commentary: Yes, the truth of oneness seems to have a hard time making itself known in a world of duality, and when even the religious people fan the flames of duality, it is even more difficult to spread the truth of oneness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on the 5th paragraph of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page 120)

We aren't making outrageous claims for our ego's self.  We are working to set you free, just as we have been set free.  I don't care about personal criticisms of my worthiness.  I know God is in me and is worthy.  I'm not out to get my personal place in the sun.  If God is pleased with my work, then I'm satisfied .  I'm not taking any personal credit for your progress up the ladder of wisdom.

Commentary:  God is the only reality, so is the only one to have a valid opinion of any of us

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 4 of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I admit I might come on too strongly in my letters, but I don't exaggerate or pull any punches.  The world needs this information, but the vested interests in separation criticize us at every opportunity.  Once again that is slanderous talk by people who want to discredit me as well as this message of oneness. But such slander won't stand up to my personal presence.  Even the pure saints get criticized for something or other.  What is the point of all this comparing and grading and competing?  It just comes because they are lost in the illusion of separation.

Commentary:  The world always needs to be reminded of our oneness because the forces of illusory separateness are strong in this age.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

In our search for examples, we sometimes overlook the obvious, such as not seeing the forest for the trees.  If you're looking for a clear example of someone who lives in the oneness of God, why do you so quickly pass by me.  I'm quite sure of my standing in God. I'm not saying I'm the best example.  There are others who are better examples, but I' m not backing off on my authority to proclaim this gospel of oneness.  I may be just a lively stone speaking out because no one else has.  I may not be among the best and brightest, but I'm committed to living and proclaiming this message far and wide.  I'm interested in building you up, not tearing you down, yet you need to be aware of the illusions of life.

Commentary: So even if you are not the most eloquent, or the perfect example, you can still speak about the oneness of life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 2 of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I know the world is still very competitive. So many people still think they need to cut other people down to get to the top.  It's a win or lose situation for many.  But we don't live that way.  We see life from the perspective of oneness.  We don't manipulate people or

step on them to move up higher, but our views certainly can bring down a materialistic and corrupt culture.  Our powerful ability to see through the illusions of life can bring down a culture based on insufficiency, competition, judgment, inequality before God,  conditionality, and ignorance.  And as we bring it down we are also building up a new culture as people find new hope in unconditional love, cooperation, sufficiency, wisdom, gratitude, and appreciation for all life and the realization that we are all united in God.

Commentary:  We have the power to remake society when we live in the realization of Oneness and unconditional love.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste

We are now moving on to the first paragraph of chapter10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

There is a personal issue that I want to address.  I've heard through the rumor mills that I've been evasive and easy-going and even slack when I'm with you, but harsh and critical when I'm at a safe distance away writing letters.  I guess some people mistake my mild manners for being a pushover, but don't think for a moment that I won't stand up for the truth.  I give people slack and don't force my views on anyone, but in a general letter I need to make my views clear and bold.

Commentary:  People like to discover truth for themselves.  Reminders may help, but each person must come to oneness one at a time.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; letters of Aul.

As we carry out social relief work for people hit with drought or floods or storms or diseases or wars we realize our work involves far more than helping with basic needs.  Our work also involves raising the attitude of gratitude to God for every little blessing.  There may be troubles aplenty, but by God-gratitude we will overcome them one by one until we once again reach a golden age of peace and prosperity.  Thank God we still have the time and resources to do it.  Thank you, thank you, thank you God.

Commentary:  All natural disasters and wars and conflicts can be traced back to human activity.  Everything we do has consequences in our human activities and also in weather patterns. The exact lines of cause and effect are very difficult to discern however. The best thing to do is to clean up all aspects of our behavior and live in the consciousness of love as far as possible.  We thank God that we can do that.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraphs 4 and 5 of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul (page 119).

God shows up in every moment and is continually pouring out his blessings in astonishing ways.  Be ready for anything.  The full blessings of God are beyond our comprehension.

Our most magnanimous God gives seeds in abundance: Star seeds. planet seeds, grass seeds, flower seeds.  God is extravagant in multiplying life and in providing for our life.  We humans are the ones who cut off the supply of God by acting selfishly.  We could feed the world if we realized our oneness with all life and acted upon that realization.  God doesn't  hold back anything from us, but our small cups of self-imposed limitations are holding us back.  But we are expanding our cups, so to speak.  We are growing in our awareness of our God-selves.  We are expanding our consciousness into the one consciousness.

Commentary: The universe teems with life, and it is all provided for in one way or another.  Everything lives on Light, directly or indirectly.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

Remember these truisms: Give time to God and he will give time to you.  Sow bountifully and you will reap bountifully.  I want each of you to go within and meditate.  Find your true center.  Breathe deeply with awareness, look up into your third eye center.  Be aware of God in everything, especially your own body.  Do this on a regular basis, several times a day for as long as you can without neglecting your duties and hold that awareness with you all day and night.  Weave it into your daily life.

Commentary: The more time we give to God the closer we will be to realizing our oneness with God.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now moving on to the first two paragraphs of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I know you're ready to do your part.  I've been telling people all through the Acedonia province about how keen you are to help out.  They have been inspired by your enthusiasm for living in oneness with all life.

Now I'm sending the brothers to reinforce your resolve, so all my praise of you won't turn out to be just hot air.  If some Acedonians and I happened to drop by unexpectedly and found that you had back slid into a life of believing the illusions, then we'd all be red-faced about it.  So to make sure that you are still moving up in Life awareness, I'm sending these brothers in the faith as an advance team to work with you.  I would like to see you build up your own faith in your own way,  without the pressure of us coming too soon.  In other words, don't think of faking it for us.  Be genuine in your faith.  Our gentle brothers will help you do that.

Commentary:  Back sliding into the dualistic perspective is very easy to do since most of the world lives in that way.  That's why it is good to have strong and encouraging people among us who will set examples in living the life of oneness and divine love.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on the 7th and 8th paragraph of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

We would never take any of the relief money for ourselves, and we don't want anyone to even suspect we would.  We are being very transparent on this.  Everyone can see what we are doing, just as God can.  For extra assurance, we are also sending along a neutral observer.  He has proved his honesty and reliability many times over.  He is full of energy and good will.  He knows your situation and is eager to work with everyone concerned in a fair and honorable way. 

Need I say anything more about Itus?  We've been working together for many years now.  The friends that travel with him are a real credit to this movement toward oneness in God.  Show them how much you have progressed  Let them know of your love for them. 

Commentary:

In oneness transparency is the order of the day. Nothing is hidden in oneness.  There is no cheating, no scheming, no lying because there is no advantage to gain.  We all love one another and want the best for everyone.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I'm happy and grateful that Itus is with me on this.  It was his idea to go help out with the relief effort.  We're also sending a companion along with Itus, someone who is a very popular speaker.  He's rock solid in the faith and really gets people fired up with his enthusiastic speaking.  We need more people like him.  Will you be one?  We share our gifts freely in God while taking precaution against scandals of loose living.

Commentary:  If you are an eloquent and enthusiastic speaker on the topic of the oneness of life, God can use you. A good speaker can fire up people, get them motivated, and help them feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves.  However, if you put yourself out there as a speaker, people will look to see if you walk the talk, so that is why we do our best to always live with compassion and love and honesty in all situations.  Scandals can throw a monkey wrench into any organization or movement as well as personal lives.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 5 of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

So here is what I suggest now. You started some projects last year, but then you let them go uncompleted.  I know you have the heart and the strength to finish them, so renew your enthusiasm and carry on strongly.  Once the blueprint is clear, you know just what to do.  Your heart and hands work together.  You work shoulder to shoulder with your co-workers.  They help you and you help them.  You're really helping each other and yourselves at the same time, because we are all one in God.  It is a beautiful action to see.

 Commentary:  Collective will power can get amazing results.
