Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on the first paragraph of chapter 3 in the first letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 72)
                                                                                    
"Right now I would like to address those of you who are backsliding into the illusions of life.  I am sad and shocked by the way you treat each other sometimes.  You're acting like ignorant kids in relation to this great truth of the oneness of all life.  You grab for the goodies of life and step on the toes of others as you go for it.  You're content when you have what you want, but when it is taken away, you cry about it.  Very attached you are.  And then when you take sides and declare you are on the "Catholics" side, or the "Sunni's " side, or the "Shaivite's" side, or you say, "I'm for the Brazilians, or British, or Chinese, or Greeks," or whatever side you take with the idea that you are separate from the rest of life, aren't you being foolish?"

Commentary:  We have put up a lot of artificial barriers between people in just about every area of life. We have divided ourselves according to religion, nationality, tribe, political group, schools, race,  and many more categories. And we seem to take these divisions so seriously. If a person is born as a brown-skinned Hindu in Madras, India he will have all the perceptions of life that come with that situation.  But if he moves beyond all those limiting, artificial conditions he may realize his universal identity in the oneness of God

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

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

"To be more specific, some of Loey's family brought a most disturbing report to my attention. Namely that you are fighting amongst yourselves. I'll tell you exactly what I was told. You're picking sides, going around saying "I'm on the side of Jesus," or "I'm on the side of Buddha." or "Krishna is my main man," or "Muhammed is the true prophet."

Commentary: If a religionist thinks his or her religion's founder is the best of all, or that his or her religion is the best of all, it only shows that he or she is in delusion about the spiritual life. It is a dualistic thought to think that one religion is the best for everyone. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammed, Confucius, Lao-Tzu and other true representatives of God all work together to help raise the consciousness of the people on earth. People who try to defend their own religion and promote it as the only or best religion on earth need to have their consciousness raised to the point where they can see the unity of life.
