Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on the 5th paragraph of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page 120)

We aren't making outrageous claims for our ego's self.  We are working to set you free, just as we have been set free.  I don't care about personal criticisms of my worthiness.  I know God is in me and is worthy.  I'm not out to get my personal place in the sun.  If God is pleased with my work, then I'm satisfied .  I'm not taking any personal credit for your progress up the ladder of wisdom.

Commentary:  God is the only reality, so is the only one to have a valid opinion of any of us

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 2 of chapter 10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I know the world is still very competitive. So many people still think they need to cut other people down to get to the top.  It's a win or lose situation for many.  But we don't live that way.  We see life from the perspective of oneness.  We don't manipulate people or

step on them to move up higher, but our views certainly can bring down a materialistic and corrupt culture.  Our powerful ability to see through the illusions of life can bring down a culture based on insufficiency, competition, judgment, inequality before God,  conditionality, and ignorance.  And as we bring it down we are also building up a new culture as people find new hope in unconditional love, cooperation, sufficiency, wisdom, gratitude, and appreciation for all life and the realization that we are all united in God.

Commentary:  We have the power to remake society when we live in the realization of Oneness and unconditional love.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste

We are now moving on to the first paragraph of chapter10 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

There is a personal issue that I want to address.  I've heard through the rumor mills that I've been evasive and easy-going and even slack when I'm with you, but harsh and critical when I'm at a safe distance away writing letters.  I guess some people mistake my mild manners for being a pushover, but don't think for a moment that I won't stand up for the truth.  I give people slack and don't force my views on anyone, but in a general letter I need to make my views clear and bold.

Commentary:  People like to discover truth for themselves.  Reminders may help, but each person must come to oneness one at a time.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraphs 4 and 5 of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul (page 119).

God shows up in every moment and is continually pouring out his blessings in astonishing ways.  Be ready for anything.  The full blessings of God are beyond our comprehension.

Our most magnanimous God gives seeds in abundance: Star seeds. planet seeds, grass seeds, flower seeds.  God is extravagant in multiplying life and in providing for our life.  We humans are the ones who cut off the supply of God by acting selfishly.  We could feed the world if we realized our oneness with all life and acted upon that realization.  God doesn't  hold back anything from us, but our small cups of self-imposed limitations are holding us back.  But we are expanding our cups, so to speak.  We are growing in our awareness of our God-selves.  We are expanding our consciousness into the one consciousness.

Commentary: The universe teems with life, and it is all provided for in one way or another.  Everything lives on Light, directly or indirectly.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now moving on to the first two paragraphs of chapter 9 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I know you're ready to do your part.  I've been telling people all through the Acedonia province about how keen you are to help out.  They have been inspired by your enthusiasm for living in oneness with all life.

Now I'm sending the brothers to reinforce your resolve, so all my praise of you won't turn out to be just hot air.  If some Acedonians and I happened to drop by unexpectedly and found that you had back slid into a life of believing the illusions, then we'd all be red-faced about it.  So to make sure that you are still moving up in Life awareness, I'm sending these brothers in the faith as an advance team to work with you.  I would like to see you build up your own faith in your own way,  without the pressure of us coming too soon.  In other words, don't think of faking it for us.  Be genuine in your faith.  Our gentle brothers will help you do that.

Commentary:  Back sliding into the dualistic perspective is very easy to do since most of the world lives in that way.  That's why it is good to have strong and encouraging people among us who will set examples in living the life of oneness and divine love.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on the 7th and 8th paragraph of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

We would never take any of the relief money for ourselves, and we don't want anyone to even suspect we would.  We are being very transparent on this.  Everyone can see what we are doing, just as God can.  For extra assurance, we are also sending along a neutral observer.  He has proved his honesty and reliability many times over.  He is full of energy and good will.  He knows your situation and is eager to work with everyone concerned in a fair and honorable way. 

Need I say anything more about Itus?  We've been working together for many years now.  The friends that travel with him are a real credit to this movement toward oneness in God.  Show them how much you have progressed  Let them know of your love for them. 

Commentary:

In oneness transparency is the order of the day. Nothing is hidden in oneness.  There is no cheating, no scheming, no lying because there is no advantage to gain.  We all love one another and want the best for everyone.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone, namaste:

We are now on the second and third paragraphs of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians in the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul (p.116).

It all seemed to happen so naturally.  It was a good example of how the reality of oneness touched their hearts and helped them to realize we are one with the poor people of the world.  I was there and saw how it all happened.  Many regarded it as a privilege to be able to help.

I mention this to you because I think it will encourage you to deal with your problems in a similar way.  You can do so well in many areas.  You trust God, you're intelligent and articulate, you're passionate, you love well and now here is a chance to show your own generosity of spirit.

Commentary: When you realize that you are one with everyone, you naturally want to help other people.  We all have talents and abilities and resources to share to help other people

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 6 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

If your faith is still tentative, then avoid those who reject the living God.  How can you be partners with someone who will drag you down?  Be with people who will lift you up.  You are treating your body as the temple of God, so avoid people who abuse their own bodies and don't care about yours.  When you become strong in your faith then you can move amongst the skeptics, nihilist, and nay-sayers and possibly lift them up.

Commentary:  Although we are all part of God, many people don't realize it or even think about it.  Some people are even antagonistic about faith or belief in God, but you are not obligated to try to change their views.  Just build up your own relationship with God.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 3 of the 5th chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

That thought alone keeps us on our toes.  It's very sobering to know that we all face the results of our thoughts, words, and actions. Everything we do truly does come back to us. We make this point urgently with everyone we meet to get them ready to face their life review.  God alone knows how effective we have been, but I hope you know we do this out of our deep love for you.  We're not saying this to boost our own image before you.  We just thought it would help you realize that we are truly on your side and not just pretending.  If I seemed to act in the extreme at times, I did it for

the good of all.  If I acted serious or silly, I did it for you.  God's love has moved me to a wide variety of expressions,  it's not just s strict and serious view of a severe God that we have.  God's love can coo with babies and crack like thunder.  God never hurts anyone, but we hurt each other, and a life review shows us how we have hurt others. So we learn from that.  Eventually we will learn to love each other with the love of God.

Commentary: In the oneness of life we each get a life review to see how we have affected everyone else in the circle of life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 4 of chapter 4 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book  Gospel of One; Letters of Aul (page 108).

Outwardly we are not different from other people. In fact, we are very ordinary looking people.  We don't go around performing dazzling miracles, and our bodies don't actually shine a light unless you can see our shining auras. And we may not have the super model bodies (although some of do), but we are anchored in God. God knows what we've all been through to get this far, and it hasn't been easy for most of us. In fact, some of us have been persecuted and prosecuted for proclaiming our oneness with God.  Many so-called Christians and Muslims have banished us from their company.  They think they are separate from God, and when we say that we are one with God, just as Jesus is, they call it blasphemy, heresy, or the lies of the devil.

Commentary: It is interesting how people who have the mentality of separateness can pass the judgement of blasphemy on people who proclaim the oneness of all life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now moving on to chapter 3, paragraph 1 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

"Do you think we are being too sure of ourselves?  Are we asserting our Self-authority too strongly?  If so, please forgive us.  There is a fine line between self-confidence and being cocky.  We do revel in our freedom and the sureness of our path, and we extend it to you.  And we see that many of you now rejoice in the oneness of all life.  You have become great examples.  Your lives are open books that others can read.  But you're not like printed words that never change.  God's living spirit is within you, and so you are still growing and evolving."

Commentary:  We don't want to be like a book that never changes.  Our life stories will continue on forever.  There is no final chapter. Let us write beautiful stories.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraphs 4 and 5 of the second chapter in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"When I arrived in Ome I found many people eager to hear the truth.  All I had to do was show up.  The people were ready for this gospel.  But when I didn't find Itus waiting for me with the first hand news about you, I couldn't fully relax.  In fact I became worried and left there and went to Acedonia to find Itus and get some comforting words about you. And thank God, I did receive some good news..

We intuitively follow God's travel plans for us, and at times it's been like a hero's victory parade.  Through us he brings knowledge of His presence everywhere.  To those who accept this teaching, it is like inhaling the aroma of fragrant flowers or the drinking of tropical nectar.  It is very pleasing to the soul.  But for those who reject these messages of oneness, it is like bitter medicine.  They inwardly know they need it, but they don't want to take it."

Commentary: To know that life makes sense is very comforting.  There is so much that happens in life that does not seem to make sense.  But every event is caused by something that reflects our collective consciousness.  And behind our consciousness is the unity of God that ties everything together and assures us of perfect justice, perfect sense.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 3 in the second chapter in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Each of you take responsibility for making your group an outstanding example of people who love life, who love God and people and the environment and the animals of all kinds.  This is really the focus of my letter.  We are emphasizing the positive."

Commentary:  In any group of believers you will have a diversity of talents and abilities, but what will really make the group sizzle is if every member is brimming with love for all of life.  Enthusiasm and love from everyone makes a strong group.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone, namaste;

We now are now moving on to chapter 2, paragraphs 1 and 2 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul, page104.

"Since I couldn't come for a personal visit, I decided to write another letter to you, and part of it was very hard to write. I'm talking about confronting the person or persons who have been causing problems in your local group--those people who still think God is a separate supreme being who rewards and punishes people according to some impossible standards of right and wrong.  They spread false rumors about you, but we need to forgive them.  They have to get past their cultural upbringing and perhaps a diet that keeps them from thinking clearly.  Try to see their actions from their point of view.  They thought they were doing the right thing by warming people about  your group of blasphemers

However, getting back at them will never do.  You need to heap on the love, not criticism.  They will come back around eventually.  They will see your good example and get over their fears of being misled."

Commentary:  If we respond to criticism by criticizing back, even if the charges are blatantly false, ridiculous, or silly, we will only fall into the trap of dualism.  It's better to listen to the charges and try to understand them and then come from a oneness perspective--we're all in this together, give everyone respect as a sovereign being in God, and stay centered in love for all. Such an attitude will help us overcome self-righteousness, also.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraphs 8 and 9 in the first chapter of the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"However, I'm still proclaiming this message of the oneness of all life loud and clear. We affirm it with a shout of "Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes!"  God is adding his yes directly to ours.  He is pleased to see people firmly on the way back to him--to the realization of Godhood.

Perhaps it was a good thing that I wasn't able to visit.  You can't be dependent on me to inspire you. You are strengthened by going within more and finding your own God-connection.  I don't need or want any followers or disciples, but I'm thrilled to have co-workers who know God.  We are partners, working alongside each other.  I know that you will stand by your own faith, not mine."

Commentary: Our natural state is one of equality with one another, but it is also natural to help one another with our different talents and abilities.If we can keep to a humble attitude either way, we can get along better.  God is the doer, we truly learn that as we move into oneness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 15 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Some skeptic is sure to ask about how reincarnation works and why we can't remember our past lives.  Some people can remember parts of past lives, and masters such as Krishna, Jesus, and Buddha can remember them all, but they can handle the knowledge of them.  Every lifetime is a new opportunity for us.  Remembrance of past lives would be too confusing for most of us. Some Christians will not accept the truth of reincarnation because it is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible.  But it was taken out or not included on purpose by a council of men.  The scriptures  are not the final word on this subject.  I recommend that you listen to the true word of God that comes to everyone in every moment.  This holy word of God is available anywhere, anytime.  It is the living word of God.  You will know it by it's vibrant, enthusiastic love for everyone."

Commentary: Since reincarnation is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, most Christians will dismiss it without giving it deep thought..  However, most people in the world do think that reincarnation is either true or quite possibly be the truth, but no one can prove it in the acceptable scientific experiments that we can do now. So a rational argument about it always comes up inconclusive. That's why the recommendation is to go deeply within and try to hear God's truth on the subject.  Of course some people are not willing or capable of concentrating that deeply.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste;

We are now on paragraph 7 of chapter 14 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."  (page 97)

"One more thing, let me make it clear about the equality of men and women and of all racial groups.  God is equally present in everyone, so how can anyone say one gender or race is inherently better or should be more privileged than any other?"

Commentary: This seems obvious to people who are living in oneness, but since so many  people are still lost in separation, we need to keep saying this. A soul can incarnate as a man one time, a woman the next time, and of a different race or nationality each time.  A soul is gathering experience in every role. Perhaps the key is to see everyone as a soul  of God who is just wearing an outer disguise, whatever it may be.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste;

We are now on paragraph 3 in chapter 14 of the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"So I encourage you to speak up for the oneness of life. People need to hear this message over and over again.  If you are really eager to participate in this great evangelical movement, why don't you concentrate on living this gospel of oneness with your lives and proclaiming it with your tongues in straightforward manner."

Commentary:  The illusion of duality is so strong that we need to remind each other that the unity of God is the only reality. We need to have compassion on one another and realize that we are living in the illusion of separateness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now on paragraph 4 of  chapter 12 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Think of the comparison to your own bodies, which have many parts--arms, ears, nose, muscles, tendons, the various organs, and so on. Your body functions as one unit; all the parts work together.  We don't know how our bodies were put together so wondrously, but God knows, and we know a harmonious body is a healthy body. Just so with all life on earth.  We don't know how it all came about, but we know that if we work together harmoniously with love for all life, then we have a healthy and happy planet."

Commentary: When the people of the world realize that we are one in Spirit, then we will have peace on this planet.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now on the third paragraph of chapter 12  in the First Letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"So let's apply our intelligence and intuition on this topic of how God's spirit works in our lives.  Everyone shares in the totality of God, yet in any one lifetime, we may excel in only certain areas.  We are all different, we're all individuals, yet we are all one in spirit..  Some may excel in music, some in healing powers, some in artistry, some in managing, some in athletics, some in mechanical ability, some in communicating effectively, some in public speaking. God doesn't  favor one person over another.  In this lifetime some people may be highly skilled, while others may be handicapped.  Some may be rich and talented and others may be poor and fit only for menial labor. But we don't judge anyone.  Everyone has incarnated for specific purposes, and we don't know what those purposes are, but the soul knows."

Commentary: The high and the mighty are valued as much as the low and down-trodden.  One lifetime is just one link in the chain of a soul's progress.
