Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 60)
"We will not run up debts because there will be no money system based on debt-money issued by a privately owned federal banking system. We can realize our huge debt of love and gratitude to and for life, if we want to think of debt at all. Let us live in love as much as we can. If you love everyone you will fulfill all the moral codes of good behavior. All those rules of good behavior add up to the golden rule. Love others as much as you love yourself, and be sure to love yourself."
Commentary: Currently our money supply is issued as a debt by a privately owned organization that gets to keep the interest on the money it created out of thin air. It is not a money system for a society that recognizes the oneness of all life. It is a money system set up by the power elite to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. As more and more people realize the oneness of all life we will move toward a system of giving and receiving that is based on love for everyone.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste;
We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 3 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"Now about taxes. We advocate abolishing a money system based on interest-bearing debt. We favor a system of giving and receiving because we see that God has supplied everything we need to feed and clothe and house everyone on earth. Let us manufacture things that are truly beneficial for us and the environment. All jobs that need to be done will be done by people who care enough to do them."
Commentary: In an economic system based on the oneness of life there would be more giving and receiving. There would be no financial elite who skim money off the top to keep on enriching themselves at the expense of others. There would also be no slackers who don't contribute to the common welfare. When we realize what we do to or for others we also do to or for ourselves, then society is more harmonious. A system of taxation, if necessary, would be used in a way that is consistent with idea of equality in oneness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 2 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 59)
"Do you want to be on good terms with a government? Then be a responsible citizen who cooperates with other people for the common good. If we have people who are ignorant of the oneness of life and go about hurting people left and right, then we will need some kind of police force to restrain them with force, if necessary. We all have an interest in keeping a peaceful order so that we can go about our creative activities without fear of a tyrannical government or of hurtful people."
Commentary: If we had a society of 100% of people who realized the oneness of life, then we wouldn't need a police force, and we would have a government that truly served the people. But we don't have that yet, so we make sure we have that realization and hopefully more and more people will wake up to their own God-presence.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are beginning chapter 13, paragraph one in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 59)
" Let's be good citizens. We are all sovereign citizens of the universe. Let us all cooperate to make good governments insofar as we need governments to organize and run the common tasks that need to be done for the common benefit. If we are responsible to ourselves and each other on the local levels, then we can extend that to national and international levels. If we are responsive and responsible to our God-presence, then we will know how to get along with each other. A government of God-realized people will not take away our freedoms, but will reinforce them. When we live with the realization that all life is God's life, then we will have governments for the common good."
Commentary: We have had so many bad governments in all nations that is easy to become cynical about ever having a good government. But as people raise their consciousness and take responsibility for every aspect of their lives, I believe we will see the rise of better governments that reflect the true interests of peaceful and justice loving people. When people realize that we are all one in spirit, we will take better care of each other.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 12, paragraphs 7 and 8 in the Letter to the Omans from the the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 58)
"Bless all who think they are your enemies and do not silently grumble about them. Find laughter and joy with your friends. Share their happiness as well as their tears about the troubles in life. Make friends with the seemingly down and out. Many are secretly hoping somebody will really befriend them.
Don't seek revenge, the cycle will just continue. The justice of God is perfect. Discover the beauty and talent in everyone. If someone is hungry, even if he is spiteful, share food with him or her. Your generosity will surprise people who think you are against them. Don't let evil get the best of you, but overcome evil with good actions. Always come back to your oneness in God."
Commentary: These are more timely tips for everyday living. Love is the only way to overcome evil. In oneness with God we can find that strong love.

We are continuing with chapter 12, paragraphs 5 and 6 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"As you create who you want to be, love from the center of yourself. There is no need to fake love. You are love. Shun the illusions that will bring you down. Be good friends with those who will remind you of your oneness with God. Lift each other up.
Be careful of getting burned out by trying too hard. Keep to your center. Meditate often. Eat a good diet to keep yourselves fueled with good nutrition. Shun junk food. Be inventive in hospitality and serve tasty but nutritious food. Don't get discouraged by anything, just pray about it. Talk to God."
Commentary: These two short paragraphs have many tips for successful living.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste:
we are continuing with Chapter 12, paragraph 4 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 58)
"If you are good at preaching, be a preacher. If you enjoy teaching, be a teacher. If you enjoy being a carpenter, be a carpenter. But know, those roles are not the final word on who you are. Your identity is deeper than what you do in one lifetime. Realize that you are pure potential. You are not fixed in one role forever. Your identity is within God, and as such, you are unlimited."
Commentary: We often identify ourselves and others by what our jobs are. Some people are looked down upon because they have lowly jobs, but a job does not define a person's true capabilities. We can do the best at whatever our current job is, but that work does not need to stereotype us or put us in a box. It is up to each one of us to reach for our higher potentials and to transcend our current positions. In our society jobs are often just a way to earn some money to pay our bills and buy a few or a lot of extra things. Whatever your job is, relate it to your oneness in God and expand your consciousness of what is possible.
