Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are starting on chapter 11, paragraph 1 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 55)
"You might think that God is exasperated with the religionists who cling to the illusions of life and that he will have nothing more to do with them. Hardly, remember, God is everyone, even the people who are lost in the illusion. Even those people who say that they don't believe in God, are part of God. God has been involved with every one of us from the beginning. God will not wash his hands of anyone. How could she? God is everyone."
Commentary: Jesus took the religionists of his day to task, and we may perhaps look down on the self-righteous hypocrites such as the Pharisees were, but if we judge them as inferior or condemn them, then we fall into duality. A person living in oneness loves everyone as an expression of God. He or she sees God in everyone. Sooner or later God will shine through every one clearly.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 8, paragraph 9 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."*
"God does have a master plan. He knew love would shape our lives. There was no need to force us into obedience. She didn't make us into puppets. She set us free in love and gave us the power to co-create our lives and our universe. And then, after setting us free to do whatever we willed to do, she stayed with us to experience everything we experience, to create everything we have created and to become more magnificent through us. So what do you think, with God on our inside like this, how can we lose?"
Commentary: This is in response to people who say God created everything, then stepped back to let us fight it out for evolutionary supremacy. God is right here with us in the middle of this cosmic drama because God is all there is. We are expressions of God. If you see yourself as separate from God, then you might have an ego problem. If you see yourself as an expression of God, then the ego is off its throne and your true individuality starts shining through.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste;
We are continuing with paragraphs 5 and 6 in chapter 8 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"The illusion may have you in its grip sometimes, but you have no allegiance to it. It has its purposes, but it isn't the final truth. We are not slaves to the illusion, but we can be masters of the illusions. The best thing to do is to realize your God-Self and move on. There are many wonderful adventures to go on and things to co-create with life.
When you resurrect yourself past the illusions, it is a whole new life waiting for you. You are in partnership with God. You are co-creating your life with God, and we know that we will have every thing good coming to us--it's a hitherto unbelievable inheritance. We've been through hard times, and there may still be hard times to come, but when we see life through God's perspective, everything is explained, and everything is good."
Commentary: Once you overcome the illusions of duality and see life as a unified whole, your entire perspective changes. The struggle for existence is gone, and you become free to co-create with love for all of life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, Namaste;
We are starting on Chapter 8, paragraph 1 in the Letter to the Omans from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.
"When many more of us realize that we are all one in God, the task of overcoming the illusions will be easier. Remember, we have labored for centuries under the illusion of separateness, which has brought sorrow and fear to many. But no longer, we are now full of hope. The mighty wind of Self-realization has blown away the dark clouds. We are now free from the awful tyranny of the illusions. I call it a tyranny because of the insane and brutal dictatorships the world has seen--run by people who thought the illusions were real. They tried to control what people did, said and even what they thought. All because they were lost in the illusion. They don't want us to know we are all sovereign beings in God. They would lose their power if we remembered who we are in truth. We are free in God-realization, oh yes!"
Commentary: When we think of the dictatorships the world has seen, we see leaders who were utterly lost in the illusions. They had no respect for the dignity of the individual. They killed or imprisoned people who were threats to them. They had no concept of the oneness of all life. They did not know that what they did to others they were actually doing to themselves. They did not know that every one of us is a sovereign being, with the full rights of a manifestation of God. If you think about this you can see where it leads--yes, kindness to all living things, respect for all life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
hullo everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 7, paragraphs 2 and 3 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One, Letters of Aul."
"Most laws have perfectly legitimate functions. Without clear guidelines for right and wrong, moral behavior would become mostly guesswork. We have needed laws so that people would have a clear idea about acceptable behavior. A speed limit of 25 miles per hour by a school zone makes perfect sense. You wouldn't want people to zoom by the school at 60 miles per hour when children were just getting out of school. So we have many laws that meed to be obeyed for our own good.
However, when we are under the spell of the illusions, we don't always know what is good for us. Some people may get a perverted thrill out of zooming by a school at 60 miles per hour. Do you remember how it was, especially when you were a rebellious teen-ager? (or still are?). Or somebody else was or is? For some reason doing crazy, rebellious, or sinful things has a certain appeal when a person is lost in the illusion. They do it for notoriety, to impress someone, to impress themselves, or because they are angry about something. whatever their reasons, it can be traced back to some influence of the illusion. the perceived need for money is, of course, one of our major illusions, and since so many people agree on the need for money, we do a lot of crazy things for money."
Commentary: Some people want to rebel against authority for various reasons, but if people want to rebel, the best thing to rebel against is the illusion of duality. Duality is what keeps people lost, bewildered and in slavery to one thing or another. The only way out is to see the oneness of all life.
Most laws we have set up are useful for living within the illusion of duality, and one can live very well within duality by following moral and civil laws, but one can also rise above it all and live in the oneness of all life. Following all good and just laws with an attitude of love will then become easier.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hi Everyone, namaste:
We are moving on to chapter 7, paragraph 1 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"I'm sure you understand all this my friends, because you know all about the illusions--how they work and how they hold sway over the unenlightened. For example, you know how people can get caught up in thinking they are better than other people, or that some people may be failures, or that death exists, or that God needs anything, and so on. We have make up countless rules and regulations in order to live within the illusions. But many people did not understand the purpose of the laws. "Laws are meant to be broken," as some would say. Laws were something to rebel against. They restricted our freedoms. If we could get away with something, then we did. The "criminals" were the ones who got caught. And there is so much fine print in the law just about everyone is a law breaker. Just look at the speed limit for cars, for example. How may of us of driving age have broken the law in regards to speed limits?"
Commentary: Because so many people don't recognize the oneness of all life, we have made up countless laws to fit every situation. The golden rule is the guiding law of oneness. Treat everybody as if they are part of your greater Self. If people followed the golden rule there would be no need for all the other laws.
