Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 3 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Now about taxes. We advocate abolishing a money system based on interest-bearing debt. We favor a system of giving and receiving because we see that God has supplied everything we need to feed and clothe and house everyone on earth. Let us manufacture things that are truly beneficial for us and the environment. All jobs that need to be done will be done by people who care enough to do them."

Commentary: In an economic system based on the oneness of life there would be more giving and receiving. There would be no financial elite who skim money off the top to keep on enriching themselves at the expense of others. There would also be no slackers who don't contribute to the common welfare. When we realize what we do to or for others we also do to or for ourselves, then society is more harmonious. A system of taxation, if necessary, would be used in a way that is consistent with idea of equality in oneness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 2 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 59)

"Do you want to be on good terms with a government? Then be a responsible citizen who cooperates with other people for the common good. If we have people who are ignorant of the oneness of life and go about hurting people left and right, then we will need some kind of police force to restrain them with force, if necessary. We all have an interest in keeping a peaceful order so that we can go about our creative activities without fear of a tyrannical government or of hurtful people."

Commentary: If we had a society of 100% of people who realized the oneness of life, then we wouldn't need a police force, and we would have a government that truly served the people. But we don't have that yet, so we make sure we have that realization and hopefully more and more people will wake up to their own God-presence.
