Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraph 5, chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 71)

"Your soul, not content to flit around the surface of life, dives into the depths of God and brings out the pearls of wisdom.  Who knows what you are thinking and planning except yourself?  It's the same with God--except that his thoughts and plans are what defines the universe.  God offers to share his blissful life with everyone at any time.  We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions about religion.  We don't necessarily have to read books or go to a school.  We can learn directly from God through our I Am Presence.  The word of God comes to us everyday as our highest and best thoughts and feelings of love, compassion, peace, helpfulness, sharing, improvement, and enthusiasm.  These words of God are not locked up in any book, including this one, but come to everyone, every day, every moment.  We are just passing on what we have realized, hoping to inspire some of you who need a jump start"

Commentary:  Anyone who dives deep into contemplation of his or her own connection with the God of all creation will find many inspirations about life.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 4, chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."  (page 71)

"The worldly experts of our day don't seem to understand the love and freedom God has given us.  And they don't understand that we are all one.  If they understood, they wouldn't be putting others down or mistreating others, because there is no "other."  There is only "us."  But you know and celebrate the oneness of life because you have come to realize it."

Commentary: There is a simple test to see if our so-called leaders and experts really understand life. Any leader who calls for war or vengeance on others or seeks to gain any advantage for himself to the detriment of others, doesn't understand that life is like a mirror. We are all one in God, any leader who doesn't know that, isn't fit to lead--in any area of life--politics, society, religion, business.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 3 of chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 70).

"Now of course we know each other better, and I am more comfortable with my role in spreading this message of the oneness of all life.  The message is still not widely popular.  It isn't the fashionable wisdom of political and religious leaders who see life as separate.  They are always seeking an advantage for themselves and or their constituents.  God's wisdom is much deeper than that.  God's wisdom includes the well-being of everyone, even those who curse him and don't believe in him.  God's way is the slow but steady way of giving us freedom and love and letting us come back to him when we are ready."

Commentary: Isn't it interesting how major religious figures from all the world's religions still see the world through the lens of duality.  When will they realize that God loves everyone equally?  God doesn't favor one religion or nation over another.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 2 in the second chapter of the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 70).

"When I began this ministry I was unsure of how to go about this and felt totally inadequate, mainly because I was thinking of myself as a limited human being, and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else.  But the message of oneness came through anyway by the grace of God's power within each one of you.  Somehow you were ready for this message and understood it despite my ramblings and incomplete explanations."

Commentary:  Even if one is a great speaker and communicator, the message will not get through if it doesn't already resonate within the listeners.  Conversely, even if one is a poor speaker and communicator, the message will get through if it resonates within the listeners.  This message of the oneness of all life will not resonate with everyone, but it will resonate with many people who already recognize these truths within themselves.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are now starting chapter 2 in the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." Here is the first paragraph:

"You'll remember, friends, that when I first came to you to remind you of your oneness with God. I didn't try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest theological nuances.  I deliberately kept it plain and simple.  God is the only reality, and we are part of God.  God is the supreme being and his/her nature is love, truth, freedom, beauty, joy, bliss, and everything fascinatingly good beyond our human reckoning, beyond the duality of life, and that we are eternal identities within the reality of God and within the creation of God.  God is experiencing this creation through us and everything else because nothing is separate from God."

Commentary: This is another summary statement for the Gospel of Oneness.  We don't need any polished speechifying about the topic because this is something that needs to be realized inside every individual. We just need reminders sometimes. This is a reminder.

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are now on the last paragraph of chapter one in the first letter to the Orinthians in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Take a good look, my friends, at who you were when you were born into this world.  You are from all walks of life, all races, all ethnic groups, all countries, all religions.  Some of you occupy so-called "high" positions.  Some of you occupy seemingly "low" positions.  It doesn't matter to God.  God knows your every thought.  God knows all of your past lifetimes and possible future lives also.  You have all played different roles.  Some of you who now have high positions may well have been in low positions, and vice versa.  So what is there to brag about?  But with every moment of now you have a chance for a clean slate and a fresh start.  You can be at your highest and best starting right now.  The power of God is within you.  If you are going to blow a horn for your ego-self, forget that and blow a trumpet for your God-self."

Commentary: We have all played many different roles, and probably in most of them the ego was in control, but it is our real God-self that matters.  We are on our way back to our true identities in God. Our past experiences have had moments of glory and moments of shame, but the experiences did not define us. We are a lot more than any one lifetime of experience.  Past experience is all valuable though, it forms the larger picture of who we are now as we press on to true freedom in God..

Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with paragraph 12 in the first chapter of the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul." (page 68).

"Some people may be more impressed by a show of miracles or scientific explanations of life than by our quiet role modeling of oneness.  They won't believe us, but for we who have personally realized the oneness of life--it is the secret wherein all life can be explained.  Even the beliefs of the scoffers, atheists, and religionists are swallowed up in the oneness of God."

Commentary: People are attracted by celebrity figures, spectacular displays, and big promotions. Miracles get lots of attention. However, God sees all, including the honest endeavors of the people who are making a real contribution to the upward evolution of true spirituality. And those people are secure in their realization of oneness with God. They see everything in true perspective.  The claims and pronouncements of high ranking religious figures or eminent materialistic scientists do not disturb them. Everything will be measured against the standards of eternal Truth.
