Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now moving on to chapter 6, paragraph 1 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page 113)

Since we are all in this together, we urge you not to waste any part of this precious life of God.  Now is the time to be alive.  Our work as representatives of God gets validated in the details.  People are watching us, and in their souls they recognize the truth.  In every situation, condition, circumstance, whether in being elevated or repressed, exalted or blamed, praised or slandered, idolized or ignored, honored, or scorned, enriched or impoverished, whatever comes, we stand firm in the love of God.

Commentary:  even if people seem oblivious to this message, their souls really do know, but their outer egos are just not yet ready to receive it.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; Namaste;

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 5 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

We have taken on the work of telling this good news to everyone. We are God's representatives.  We persuade people to drop their outer differences and enter into God's work of making life a paradise for everyone.  We urge people to become friends of God, friends of life.  God is already your best friend. How? You ask. God serves you in every way, yet gives you the freedom to make your own decisions.  God is with you every step of the way, a constant companion, he is never overbearing or pushy.  He knows when to step forward with active help and when to stay in the background, when to act as a father, mother , sister, brother, best pal, son or

daughter, baby or grandparent.  God can be your lawyer, doctor, chauffeur, gardener, nurse, housemaid, or whatever.  You get the idea.

Commentary:  Bhagavan Krishna is a good example of God playing different roles for people.  He was a friend and charioteer for Arjuna.  He was a baby for mother Yasoda.  He was a brother to Balarama.  He was a playmate for his cowherd friends. And he was a divine philosopher for all of us in the Bhagavad Gita. And in our everyday lives you can see or sense the hand of God if not his whole personality.

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 7 of chapter 4 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

Don't hold your breath waiting for us to give up.  No way! Even though things may look tough and even like they are falling apart, that is just a transition phase to something better.  Sometimes we need to clear out a space for something new to be brought in.  These temporary hard times are just small annoyances compared to the coming good times of goodwill and mutual admiration. There's far more good happenings coming than we would ever suspect.  The troubles we see now are here today and gone tomorrow, but the joy of God is ever-new.

Commentary: While in the middle of a terrible storm it's

 hard to see the clear skies above the clouds, but we know the sun will shine again, so it is with the troubles in our lives.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 4 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

To answer the old riddle: could God set himself a task to difficult for himself to accomplish? The answer is yes and no.  He could set an impossible task and them immediately find a way to do it.

Commentary:  God has already set himself up with a seemingly impossible task:  How to bring back countless ( but God can count them) souls who have free will back to him.  It will take eons.  It's much more difficult than herding cats. God knew how to do it right away, and since he is beyond time, it won't be as long as it will seem to us.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 11, paragraphs 3 and 4 in the letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One, Letters of Aul." (page 55)

There may be some thick skinned old religionists who will hold on to their views until their dying days, but we don't want to give up on all those who may still wake up. They are not down for the count yet, and if they realize the oneness of all life en masse, what a homecoming that will be.

But enough about the unbelievers and religionists. I want to focus on you who are realizing your oneness with God. It's just that I do like to reach out to the religionists when I can. I'm hoping they will see their mistaken notions and then want to get in on the real joy of God. They are missing out when they think God is going to punish people and send millions to hell. They don't realize God is total love, total bliss and ever new joy. Naturally I want to share with them, even if they resist for awhile.

Commentary: God has compassion for those people who have such twisted beliefs in him. They are missing out on God's real joy. Jesus wanted to wake up the pharisees and other religionists from their distorted views about God, but it was and is a tough job. Jesus wanted to gather them as a hen gathers her chicks under her protection, but they were too lost in their own ego separation from God. You can see the egotists in every relgion. Still, we have hope for them, and when the mass awakenings happen, yes, that will be a happy day.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 9, paragraph 6 of the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Can any of us see the total wisdom of God? Can any of us call God into question abut his infinite identities? Do you know why a person is born blind? Do you know why one person is born into wealth and another into poverty? Do you know why one person dies young, while another lives into old age? Do you know why one person is born in the jungles of Borneo and another in Paris, France? Do you know why one person has beautiful features while another seems ugly? God is God no matter how, why, when, or where he shows up Love is what holds us all together. I don't care if you call yourself a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, Confucianist, atheist, agnostic or whatever, unless you know God as the one and only life and love of this universe and acknowledge that God accepts everyone, loves everyone, and indeed, is everyone, then I think your religious beliefs are incomplete, and this is the sadness I carry with me. These good people of all faiths and no faith are all already part of the eternal God, and they don't even know it."

Commentary: Ego-identities tend to get in the way and obscure the God within, that is why people of all faiths and no faith don't see God in each other. Once you see what the ego is doing, in yourself and in others, and you don't let it control you, then it becomes easier to see God in yourself and in others.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 8, paragraph 10 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."*

"God knows exactly what everyone of us is going through. He is there with people in the worst conditions. He's with the down and out as well as the rich and famous. He shares everything we think, say and do. She knows every experience we have gone through. At this moment she is taking care of us. Do you think anything or anyone can drive a wedge between us and God's love for us? Impossible! No trouble of any kind, no depression, no hatred, no hunger, no mind manipulation, no genetic tampering, absolutely nothing can interfere with God's love for us. I'm completely convinced that nothing at all--living or dead, angelic or demonic, past or future, high tech or low tech--absolutely nothing can stop or block God's love for us because God is pure love, and God is the only reality. Accept it. Melt into it. Grow into it. It is you. It is us."

Commentary: There is no escaping from God's love. If you want it, you got it. But mostly we seem to block it, but that is impossible, too. It will come through your shields and barriers. It will come through any interference from yourself or others. "The Hound of Heaven" is the famous poem that describes God's relentless pursuit of the lost.
