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.

Hi everyone; namaste;

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

I'd like to give you an update on the astonishing and exciting way in which God is working in the group in Acedonia province.  Awful troubles came upon those groups, pushing them to the limits of patience. Yet the trials exposed their strengths.  They were incredibly brave and stalwart in their faith.  The situation set off an outpouring of compassion and immediate help--far more than they seemed able to afford. Their faith in the abundance of God is remarkable.

Commentary:  Trials have a way of bringing out the best in people.  They reach past the limitations of the illusion

Hi everyone; namaste,

We are now on paragraph 2 of chapter 7 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I'm asking you to trust our words.  We are not about to manipulate or exploit anyone.  We back off if anyone thinks we come on too strongly.  I hope you don't think I'm criticizing you.  As I mentioned earlier, I'm with you all the way.  I'm actually very proud of you, in the godly sense that is, and I'm full of joy despite the troubles we've had.

Commentary:  The gospel of oneness isn't pushy, but the information is put out there for people to be aware of it.  If it is rejected at first, that's all right, we are still in oneness.

Hi everyone; namaste:

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

The rejection by religionists won't stop us, that's for sure. We say what we believe. And what we believe is that God has unconditional love for all creation.  All creation is part of the consciousness of God.  We are all one in God so what you do to or for others you actually do to or for yourself.  Every detail of life is within the consciousness of God. We all have a personal connection with God, and we are all equal parts of God because God is not superior to himself, but he transcends himself continuously.

Commentary: Jesus had to deal with the religionists who didn't like his teachings. There are always vested interests in the status quo.

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
