Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 9 in the 11th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

If I was to brag about myself, it would because I can see through all these ridiculous notions of religious and racial superiority. God is God of all, yellow, red, black, and white, Christian, Jew,Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and atheists. If I could convert you to anything, it would be to the viewpoint of the universal love of God.

Commentary: Yes, we could pat ourselves on the back for having a certain level of understanding, but it wouldn't suffice to stand pat on current understanding. There is always so much more  to learn and understand.

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 continuing with chapter 14, paragraph 10 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page62).

"Let us concentrate on our own relationship with God, and not try to impose our methods onto others. Analyze yourself to see if your actions are inline with your beliefs. If you notice that your actions are inconsistent with your beliefs, then you need to be aware of those episodes and correct yourself. You don't want to be a hypocrite. Have you ever heard anyone say, "I aspire to be a hypocrite?"

Commentary: Aren't we all hypocrites at one time or another? But if in all humility we engage in our relationship with God according to our understanding of God, then our relationship with God will grow and expand and transcend what we know now. To try to preach any ultimate truth to others is folly when the whole ocean of truth is yet to be discovered and understood.
