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.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 5 in chapter 4 of the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

Sometimes God does give us a real challenge.  Although we think we are spreading the good news that everyone wants to hear, many don't want to hear it.  We announce a meeting and no one comes.  We talk on a street corner and people pass by us quickly, anxious to avoid us.  We don't get any coverage in the press except for criticism, especially from the religious press.  Sometimes we go without meals.  We get our clothes from the thrift shops.  We can't get appointments to meet people.  We do odd jobs just to get by in some places.  People treat us like outcasts.  However, we return frowns with smiles, criticism with blessings.  We put in good words for our detractors because we know they are part of the oneness also."

Commentary: Going against the mainstream of societal expectations is never easy, but some ideas that were at first laughed at or even scorned, later became accepted.  So even if the oneness of all life is not a mainstream idea at the present, it may well be widely accepted and experienced in the near future.
