Greatest Secret of the Universe: When Ego Becomes One with God
Greatest Secret of the Universe: When Ego Becomes One with God
GOD IS!
God is the Presence, the One Power, the One Force and Source of all. There are no competitors to God, no reality existent outside of God. God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (present everywhere). There is no place where God is not, simply because nothing exists without God.
God is neither a man nor a woman nor a thing. God is no one’s father or mother or benefactor. These terms are used only to help us understand relationships—ours to God—not to establish a more human type of parentage. We use such terms as a matter of convenience or because it is comforting to do so. We call ourselves Children of God because we do not know what else to call ourselves and it seems as good a term as any to use. We are made in the image of God, not in the sense of physical appearance but with respect to the power of our souls and the potential of our minds. God is CREATOR; we are CO-CREATORS.
It would be more appropriate, and more in line with Truth, if we called ourselves Extensions of God or, perhaps, Thoughts in The Mind of God. It would even be appropriate to use another name for God, like The Force, The One, The All, The Isness, The One Mind, The Source—or WHATEVER conveys that sense of deity that is without limitation or boundary, beyond what can be comprehended. While God is more than any name, protocol, hierarchy, concept or grandiosity could describe or define, God truly is as near as our next breath—as close as our next thought. In this perception, you CANNOT separate dimensional energy forms from whatever experiencing soul might perceive. We are each and all a part of God and existent WITHIN God.
A belief in separation—that we could possibly exist and have our being apart from God—IS THE ONLY REAL SIN (error). THIS BELIEF IS OF OUR OWN MAKING. GOD HAS NOT DECREED SEPARATION; THIS WE DID OURSELVES BY OUR OWN PERCEPTION THAT SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, WE COULD TRANSCEND THAT WHICH CANNOT BE TRANSCENDED. God is not a member of ANY CHURCH OR RELIGION. It is the churches and the religions that are members within the vastness and the glory that is God. There is no ONE religion, just as there is no “chosen” people or person, nor any single way of regarding what cannot be fully comprehended. We are all “Sons” of God in the sense that we are all souls of God’s creation, without gender, without form, without nationality, complete and whole and perfect as we explore the never-endingness of God’s wonderment.
A spark from the essence of connection, that thread or cord that ensures we remain a part of that which we could NEVER leave. The wondrous splendor and joy of recognizing and acknowledging our specialness, uniqueness, and greatness—as creations of God and as co-creators WITH God—is akin to being engulfed by overwhelming floodtides of God’s GLORIOUS LOVE.
A BIGGER PICTURE
There is no sense of “crime and punishment” in God’s LIGHT, only the clear, complete and total KNOWING that you are loved absolutely, fully, and without measuring up to “conditions”. This is TRUE in the NOW and FOREVER. In and within this REALIZATION, you can KNOW that there is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed AGAINST GOD, even if there appears to be. Truth in this Light, God’s Light, is so powerful and so piercing that there is no way you could lie, exaggerate, avoid or deny what you have done with God’s gift to you, the gift of an embodied life in the earth plane replete with abundant opportunities to learn, develop and grow—to be the best that you can be. This gift, the earth life God gives, comes with a catch (a “condition”): We are to give the gift BACK unto God. We cannot keep the life we have on the earth plane, not our possessions or attachments or relationships. What we CAN keep are our memories and our feelings of what we have integrated into our heart of hearts from the experience of being here, plus the love we shared with others. This that we can keep enriches God’s experience of us as well as enriching our experience of ourselves and one another. How joyful this is depends on what we did about WHO WE ARE.
Each gain or loss anyone makes affects everyone else to some degree. That’s because we are connected, somehow, as sparks from THE MIND OF GOD. Everything created either has a soul (independent power mass) or is capable of being ensouled (from out of the group power mass). Because human forms contain larger portions of soul mass than many other types of forms, they represent opportunities of greater diversity, challenge, and involvement. Yet, even animals, minerals, plants, and planets enfold degrees of ensoulment replete with
intelligence, feeling, and volition. Density of structure or shape may seem to deny this, but the creative fire is ever-present, nonetheless. ALL souls are holy in God’s Light, and ALL souls are loved.
And ALL SOULS HAVE A PURPOSE FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL EXISTENCE AND A REASON FOR BEING WHO OR WHAT THEY ARE. Whatever form a soul empowers “fits” in Creation’s story, for each soul has a job to do, a position to fill in the greater scheme of things. All souls evolve. Nothing stays as it is because nothing is static, regardless of how “otherwise” conditions may appear to be. EVOLUTION IS NOT RESTRICTED TO LINEAR PROGRESSION. It only seems so. In FACT, it cannot, in REALITY, be in linear progression.
Thus, the drama of Creation’s story is unbounded—neither limited by your perception of it, nor by your ability or lack of ability to comprehend it. This drama is as stupendous as it is terrifying to some who come into realization of this truth, as awesome as it is wonderful, as miraculous as it is mysterious and as beautiful as it is the ultimate act of all-consuming love. To witness even a glimpse of such glory, to know THE REAL TRUTH of it, leaves a mark so deep and so profound that you are forever uplifted and TRANSFORMED. Moreover, once experienced in this “knowing”, you CAN’T ever again “be without knowing”.
You return from this realization experience KNOWING that you affect every other being because you can then understand that you are ALL part of one another, and you affect ALL parts of Creation because all parts of Creation interweave and interrelate with all other parts. Any sense of aloneness or separation dissolves in THE LIGHT OF SUCH KNOWING. If someone on a human level of limited perception demands of the insighted experiencer a backtracking or movement back into the limitation, even in attachments, it simply can’t work out—for once in KNOWING and “IN PURPOSE”, there is no ability to move backward. And no, mixed relationships (in that one spouse, etc., is within the realization and one is still demanding ego gratification in the “human” expression) cannot continue in the limitation or demand, and will, understandably, cease to be. In this circumstance, there must be a “release” so that expression can grow or remain limited as demanded by the individual soul in progression.
A person, for instance, who insists that a spouse go “honky tonkin’” or revert to a need of loud noise with programming beats built into the very racket itself, or demand human interchange for the physical expression of it, will surely lose the battle— for flesh is “ego” and recognition of spiritual soul being is quite another thing. In the growing process, you CAN have exceptionally close and productive relationships, but the unique soul will always CHOOSE the higher position of realization. A physical encounter no longer has the ego-necessity of accepted “norms” in the societal structure of gender, culture, or “simply acting out” in a physical demand.
In the realization of REALITY, it is early on noted that the physical “promises” of those things of total physical sensing are but detriments to soul growth, for they are PART AND PARCEL OF THE CONTROLLING LIES. Each individual MATTERS. You are each challenged to “wake up” and realize that you matter and to simply “give in” to the demands of “another”— no matter what position is imposed—is not acceptable in the long run and usually will simply breed contempt in the short run. Right here is where the separation in LOVE and LUST is best defined. Ah, but you would rather not have it that way? Well, that is the way it IS. And NO, it is NOT enough to simply KNOW. You must EXPRESS THAT KNOWING, but how each does that is up to the individual. Although you are each connected to the other and to all others, you are individual in your choices, in the power of your will, and in the product or result or consequence of your ever having breathed a breath in the earth plane. The responsibility you have for this totality of your beingness is as freeing and exciting as it is humbling. It represents high adventure rather than a dalliance in ego-structured sensing expressions, which are “here now and gone in a minute”.
