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 10, paragraphs 5 and 6 in the Letter to the Omans, from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." page 54.
"There have been plenty of opportunities already for people to hear about the oneness of life. Yes, the message has been mentioned may times before, but with our modern communications systems, a whole lot more people can now hear this gospel. Billions of people are now able to receive world-wide messages. We can now reach out to people in remote villages, small towns, and definitely to people in the big cities of the world. We can reach out to people who may be eager to receive this gospel. We can reach people who aren't even outwardly searching for this gospel, yet their souls will recognize this gospel as authentic.
We may get cold shoulders and icy stares from the religionists who have vested interests in the status quo, but their control over others is weakening. Millions, maybe billions of people may receive this message of the oneness of all life and take it to heart and begin living in accordance with it.
Commentary: Our souls know the truth, but our egos that have been conditioned by the illusions of life on earth find lots of excuses for avoiding the truth of our beings. Nevertheless, egos are being overcome and the conscious selves of people everywhere on the planet are awakening to the reality of the oneness of life. With our modern communications the truth now has a chance to travel just as fast as the lies do.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste;
We are continuing with chapter 10, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
It may be difficult for some people to trust a God they don't really know, and if they don't believe in the oneness of life. But how can they know if no one tells them or sets an example for them? We are the ones who will show and tell. There are some scriptural verses that will support us, but not everyone is ready to hear the glorious news. There are many who will not come to hear this message, many will not be interested, and some people will be strongly opposed to it. But the point is, unless this great message is broadcast, people will be stuck in thoughts of separation. So we will broadcast it, and people can make their choices about it.
Commentary: Many people are so caught up in the duality of life that they have not even considered the possibility that there is a loving God who loves everyone and is indeed the only reality. We are part of the life of God. This message is being broadcast by many people, so now people will have a chance to consider it as the truth.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; Namaste:
We are continuing with Chapter 10, paragraph 3 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"If we trust in God with our body, mind, and soul like this, we will be satisfied. This holds true for everyone, no matter what a person's religious background may be. The same wonderful God looks after each one of us. She is incredibly generous and understanding to everyone who calls out for help in realizing our oneness with all life."
Commentary: Different religions have different conceptions of God, but any sincere believer in the supreme God of the universe is making a connection that will eventually lead them to realizing oneness with the supreme God. The important thing is to keep moving up in realizing the glorious wonderment of your own divinity in the oneness of all life. God in the form of Divine Mother cares so compassionately for each one of us, yet must let us live in freedom and make our own mistakes and learn from them. Though we make mistakes and suffer from them, Divine Mother God will comfort us.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 10, paragraph 2 of the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"However, this is all foundational work for us and everyone. Most people have been sincere about their religious beliefs, and now they may be ready to take the next step and realize who they are, and who God is. It is the words of faith in our oneness with God that actually welcomes the presence of God in our lives and begins to set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming words to God, "Thou and I are one." Embrace your God-Self in body, mind, and soul. You don't have to do anything. Just be. Be the highest and best being you can conceive and imagine and trust God to fulfill your beingness. That is salvation. God is the only doer. With your whole being you embrace God, and then you can say right out loud, "God is making everything just right."
Commentary: Christianity asks you to confess your faith in God and in Jesus as His only begotten son and savior of the world. But if you don't believe that Jesus is God's only son, and a lot of people don't, what are you going to do? Jesus is real and he can help you, but it is up to each one of us to realize our oneness with God. We can do that by accepting the idea of oneness and then living it everyday, gradually or quickly dropping the ego and regaining our soul identity. We control our own pace of realizing our oneness with God. If you believe this and are ready for this realizaton, you are in the homestretch.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste;
We are beginning chapter ten, paragraph 1 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
Let me make it clear, my friends. All I want is for everyone is what is the highest and best, nothing less. I want it with all my heart and soul and pray to God for it all the time. I certainly admit that many religionists are creative in their religiousity, but they can't seem to grasp the realization that God is every one of us. They think we are separate from God and have to be adopted into God's family. They have set up their religions almost as businesses, and now have vested interests in the status quo. If they admitted that each one of us is a sovereign being, where would their power and control be? Instead, they keep us paying for our salvation and do quite a good business. People willingly submit to the authorities of their religions and refuse to see themselves as the God-free beings that they are. But after all these years what do the religions have to show for it? --Buildings, power, money, control. And the people remain as ignorant as ever of their own God-Self.
Commentary: All the main religions have a vested interest in their own survival. Their main focus could be on helping everyone realize their oneness with God, but that goal often gets lost in the business of religion and most people go along with whatever the status quo is.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste;
We are continuing with chapter 9, paragraphs 7 and 8 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"Some of your religious scriptures do hit the mark when they talk about the unconditional love of God for everyone. Yet then they turn around and say that God must be just also, and so he sends most people to hell because they deserve it. It's only a lucky few who will make it to heaven according to them. A person has to meet the requirements, usually just a matter of believing the right way.
Let me summarize this briefly. All those religionists who thought they knew God and the way to truth missed the target. How could they miss it? Because in insisting their way was best they set themselves up as superior. And they set up requirements and conditions for believers. They judged and condemned people who did not measure up. They thought that God needed something from them and went to great lengths to make sacrifices to God, whereas is truth God needs nothing from us. We are not slaves or employees of God. God may be pleased to see us create in love and beauty, but he does not require anything of us. We decide what to do and who to be and take responsibility for being and doing. Those people who are so absorbed in their religious projects don't see God right in front of them. They stumble over the plain truth and run to their scriptures to see what it was all about, but they don't look within and listen to God within themselves."
Commentary: I just read a book about Jehovah's Witnesses. They seem to be a good example of people who think they are superior because they believe the right way. Everybody outside their cult is doomed because they don't measure up to the requirements. They are just an obvious example, but many other cults and religions have the same kind of viewpoint that their religion is superior. Everybody else could be saved too if they would just get aboard their gospel train.
If you want to know who you are and your connection to God, you can do it without thinking that your way is the only way or the best way for everyone else. And if your holy scripture says there is only one way for everyone, check to see exactly what that means. Scriptures are not infallible. It's up to each one of us to realize our connection with God.
