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.

Hello Everyone; namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 7, paragraph 6 in the Letter to the Omans from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul:

"The habits we get into are hard to break. The moment we decide to do something good, the illusion is there to trip us up. We may truly delight in doing loving and kind things, but it is pretty obvious that our efforts are not all one hundred percent. There is part of us that holds back or is even covertly rebellious, and that shows up, sometimes when we least expect it."

Commentary: I think our worst habit is accepting the illusion of separation from God. It leads to all kinds of mistakes even when our intentions are good. It also lets the ego get the upper hand, and thus we try to satisfy the ego instead of God, or the All.

Hello Everyone, namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 7, paragraph 4 in the letter to the Omans from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

"You might be asking, "Is the illusion all bad?" The answer is , "No." God created the physical universe, which is a reflection of the truth. The illusion is our field to play in. It is our stage for the drama of creation. Through us and every created thing God experiences life. Life cannot be experienced in unbroken oneness. The duality of life gives full scope to the infinite experiences of life. However, we do not need to be lost in this illusion. We can be in the world but not of it. We can play our roles in life in peace and harmony. It is the people who do not realize it is only a game who take life too seriously. There is no need to harm other people or creatures to live in this illusion of creation. We are here to manifest the love of God, the joy of God, and beauty of God."

Commentary: When we realize that we can look at this world as a stage, and that we are the actors creating our own roles, then we can see that we can change things. We can see that we have the power and ability to manifest the love of God. The illusions of life are only the props that give a backdrop to the story of infinite love.
