Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste,

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 7 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I'll tell you right now, when we first arrived in Acedonia province, I found it difficult to be at peace.  The infighting in the groups there left us feeling uncertain.  I lost my center and was nervous because we didn't know how it would end.  Then we received reassurance when Itus arrived.  We were overjoyed to see him and even more so when he told us about you--about how much you cared, how much you grieved, and how concerned you were about my welfare.  After that I was able to quickly relax.

Commentary:  Being human, we all have moments of insecurity or uncertainty, but if we remember our oneness with God and each other, we can usually get back to our center fairly quickly.

Hi everyone; namaste,

We are now on paragraph 2 of chapter 7 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

I'm asking you to trust our words.  We are not about to manipulate or exploit anyone.  We back off if anyone thinks we come on too strongly.  I hope you don't think I'm criticizing you.  As I mentioned earlier, I'm with you all the way.  I'm actually very proud of you, in the godly sense that is, and I'm full of joy despite the troubles we've had.

Commentary:  The gospel of oneness isn't pushy, but the information is put out there for people to be aware of it.  If it is rejected at first, that's all right, we are still in oneness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi everyone; namaste:

We are now moving on to chapter 7, paragraph 1 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

Introspect about everything and everyone that drags you down, both within and without. Consider what you can do to remedy the situation.  Let's make our whole lives clean and holy temples for communion with God.

Commentary:  When we introspect we become aware of ourselves, our thoughts and feelings. We take charge of our attitudes.  We realize we are responsible for our thoughts and feelings. In the quietness of introspection we can listen to our conscience and the voice of God.

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 2 of chapter 6 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

My dear Orinthians, I'm eager to see you embrace this open and precious life.  God doesn't limit you.  You limit yourself according to how much you think you can handle.  If you feel small then you are living in a small way.  I'm writing this as plainly as I can and with great affection.  Open up your lives to the greatness of God within you.

Commentary:  We do place limits on ourselves, and when we realize this we also realize that our potential is very great indeed.

Hi Everyone; namaste;

We are now moving on to chapter 6, paragraph 1 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul. (page 113)

Since we are all in this together, we urge you not to waste any part of this precious life of God.  Now is the time to be alive.  Our work as representatives of God gets validated in the details.  People are watching us, and in their souls they recognize the truth.  In every situation, condition, circumstance, whether in being elevated or repressed, exalted or blamed, praised or slandered, idolized or ignored, honored, or scorned, enriched or impoverished, whatever comes, we stand firm in the love of God.

Commentary:  even if people seem oblivious to this message, their souls really do know, but their outer egos are just not yet ready to receive it.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; Namaste;

We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 5 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.

We have taken on the work of telling this good news to everyone. We are God's representatives.  We persuade people to drop their outer differences and enter into God's work of making life a paradise for everyone.  We urge people to become friends of God, friends of life.  God is already your best friend. How? You ask. God serves you in every way, yet gives you the freedom to make your own decisions.  God is with you every step of the way, a constant companion, he is never overbearing or pushy.  He knows when to step forward with active help and when to stay in the background, when to act as a father, mother , sister, brother, best pal, son or

daughter, baby or grandparent.  God can be your lawyer, doctor, chauffeur, gardener, nurse, housemaid, or whatever.  You get the idea.

Commentary:  Bhagavan Krishna is a good example of God playing different roles for people.  He was a friend and charioteer for Arjuna.  He was a baby for mother Yasoda.  He was a brother to Balarama.  He was a playmate for his cowherd friends. And he was a divine philosopher for all of us in the Bhagavad Gita. And in our everyday lives you can see or sense the hand of God if not his whole personality.
