Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 12, paragraph 3 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul" (page 57).
"We can be compared to the different parts of the human body. Every part has its unique function that contributes to the whole body. The body we are talking about is the whole creation of God. We find our roles and meaning of life within the context of the whole universe. Every one has something to contribute to the whole. There's no sense in being envious of others or comparing ourselves favorably against someone else. Look deep within to find your role if you haven't already found it."
Commentary: We have roles to play within our social contexts, and also in the big picture of the whole universe. We are connected to stars and galaxies. There's plenty of room to grow. We're not stuck in just one narrow role. Our potential is unlimited, it just depends on how far we want to expand our consciousness.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with Chapter 12, paragraph 2 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"Personally, I'm deeply grateful for all that God has done for me. We live in the pure grace of God, it is important to remember our true positions. God is the real doer because God is all there is . We can understand ourselves better by what God is and by what he does through us. God experiences life through us. That does not mean that we are puppets. No, not at all. We have our free will."
Commentary: We are not God, God is us. We have no separate identity apart from God, but we do have individual identities within the being of God. We have been give the power to co-create within the majestic being of God. At this particular time in our earth history we are not co-creating very well, but we have the ability to make it better. If we all remembered that we are one in God we might do better.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are starting chapter 12 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
"So here is my advice for you. Keep your regular routine of a balanced life, eating, sleeping, working, playing, and keep up with all your relationships, but place it all in the context of your oneness with life. See God everywhere. Respect God in all the variations of life. Honor yourself and honor others. At the same time be aware of peer pressure that drags you down. Keep your inner awareness of God. Quickly recognize and respond to the presence of God in every situation. The culture of TV, movies, shopping malls, sports, worldly music, and materialistic science will drag you down to its level if you let it. Tune into your God-Self, and you will rise above the mundane."
Commentary: Balance is very important in the spiritual life. If you are out in the material world a lot, it can be difficult to stay balanced. I salute those of you who are able to stay in tune with your inner God-presence during busy or stressful times. If you regularly meditate on the presence of God, it becomes easier to keep in tune all day long. You see the face of God everywhere.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 11, paragraph 6 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
" Once you realize the extraordinary kindness of God you will be astounded. And his wisdom is so wide and deep; it's way beyond our human understanding. Even the best philosophers and theologians don't even come close. No one can explain God. Our words are not adequate. Is there anyone intelligent enough to tell God how to run the universe? (Some people think they can suggest some improvements, though). Yet everything comes back to God, everything happens through God, and everything winds up in God. Glory to God forever. Praise to God forever. Yes, yes, yes!"
Commentary: What do I know? I'm just an ignorant fool. Or at least my ego is. But my conscious Self, my real Self, knows something about God, and that something is beyond words to explain. But we use many words to try to explain God. Love is at the top of the list.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
hello everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 11, paragraph 5 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."
I want to be clear about this, my friends. It may be difficult and easily misinterpreted by some. We don't want to think that we are better than the religionists. Their hardness of heart is temporary, especially if you look at the situation in terms of the long range plans of God. We are all old friends of God, but many, or most of us have forgotten.There was a time, not so long ago, that we didn't remember either. But God's love for us is fully guaranteed and will never be rescinded. We have all experienced what it is like to forget our connection with God, but what a joy it is to finally remember. We are always welcomed back into the fullness of God, who graciously and magnificentlly recieves us withut any thought of punishing us because we forgot and acted in many contrary ways, to put it mildly.
Commentary: If one of your old friends was lost in a state of amnesia you would do what you could to help him remember his original self. If he did bad things you would not condemn him because you know that he's acting out of character. So God is just trying to wake us up from our delusive state so we can reclaim our divine identity as part of God.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone, namaste:
We are continuing with chapter 11, paragraphs 3 and 4 in the letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One, Letters of Aul." (page 55)
There may be some thick skinned old religionists who will hold on to their views until their dying days, but we don't want to give up on all those who may still wake up. They are not down for the count yet, and if they realize the oneness of all life en masse, what a homecoming that will be.
But enough about the unbelievers and religionists. I want to focus on you who are realizing your oneness with God. It's just that I do like to reach out to the religionists when I can. I'm hoping they will see their mistaken notions and then want to get in on the real joy of God. They are missing out when they think God is going to punish people and send millions to hell. They don't realize God is total love, total bliss and ever new joy. Naturally I want to share with them, even if they resist for awhile.
Commentary: God has compassion for those people who have such twisted beliefs in him. They are missing out on God's real joy. Jesus wanted to wake up the pharisees and other religionists from their distorted views about God, but it was and is a tough job. Jesus wanted to gather them as a hen gathers her chicks under her protection, but they were too lost in their own ego separation from God. You can see the egotists in every relgion. Still, we have hope for them, and when the mass awakenings happen, yes, that will be a happy day.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul
Hello Everyone; namaste:
We are continuing with Chapter 11, paragraph 2 in the letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 55)
" That does not mean we will have an easy time promulgating this message. People have murdered messengers of the truth, and they may come after us, but we have faith in the God that dwells within everyone. We don't know if the awakened ones are in the minority, or majority now. Things are changing fast. The more people who awaken, the faster others begin to awaken. The momentum is in our favor. People are awakening to this message because they are tired of the old, quarrelsome ways of the major religions. They want to know the truth about God and about life."
Commentary: The momentum of people waking up to the oneness of life is picking up speed. When it reaches a certain percentage, there will be a big increase in numbers. It is inevitable. However, until we reach that take-off point there will be many resisters who feel threatened by a change in world-view.
