gospel of one; letters of aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are moving on to chapter 12 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."  Here is the first paragraph:

That leads me to my next topic about the various ways to weave Godliness into our lives.  This is a confusing topic to many people, but perhaps I can explain it clearly to you.  Remember how you were when you were totally lost in the illusion? You went from one phony god to another, just following the crowd or the culture you were raised in and not really investigating the deeper truths of life.

Commentary: Most people will follow the religion of their culture.  Socially speaking, it is just very hard to break away from family and friends to follow a different religion, so many people will not even consider the possibilities.  Life after life they will follow the crowd.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste;

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

"These are just warning markers for us along the way.  We can learn from the mistakes of others as well as our own.  We don't want to become over-confident.  We're not exempt from falling down again. Forget about confidence in your ego-self. Cultivate God-confidence.

Commentary:  As we move up on the spiritual path we can never get complacent and think we now understand everything and can just coast along in a false confidence  Ever the high and mighty can fall down again, and that happens when the ego slips back into control.  So let us all remember that God is the only reality..
