\nI have written numerous times about the \u201comni\u201d nature of God<\/a>. Many fail to extract the underlying truth behind these important truths: An Omni-God has a limit. Now that may shock your religious sensibilities because you have always believed of God as being \u201cother\u201d from you. Therein lies the trouble \u2013 being one with God does not support any \u201cother\u201d presence. So, let\u2019s consider how this all plays out.<\/p>\n

Warning!<\/em><\/strong> I am going to make several claims here which you may have never heard or refuse to believe. If I\u2019ve already shocked your religious sensibilities and you have continued to read on, then you\u2019re no worse for the journey. Let\u2019s proceed.<\/p>\n

In the beginning\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

God does not have a beginning. He is infinitely eternal. God is. It\u2019s hard to wrap your head around this thought simply because you are surrounded by the cycle of living from birth to death. You recognize what a beginning is and what an end is. God is before the beginning and is after the end. This truth spans across the entire timeline of humanity past, present, and future. Until you can master this first truth, you have a limited understanding of God and your oneness with Him.<\/p>\n

You should understand when I say, \u201cmaster this truth\u201d I am not claiming that you need to believe. To believe or have a belief is the greatest limit you possess to being one with God. Every single belief you have is based upon a choice between a pair of opposites. The extreme of these opposites is life or death, while the mildest is simply good or bad. If you doubt me on this matter, take any belief you have a strong sense about and tell me what the opposite of it is that you have refused to accept. Then ask yourself is God there either way.<\/p>\n

You conduct this little experiment with enough of your beliefs and you\u2019ll soon discover how being one with God does not require a belief. If you go deep enough, you\u2019ll soon uncover how the \u201cother\u201d pretext of God and you never has existed.<\/p>\n

The outer limits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This circles us back to the limit of an omni-God. For God to truly be God, He has to have triumphantly experienced ALL. That would make Him limitless, abounding in all things. But how does an unseen God experience the seen?<\/p>\n

Experiencing the material means also functioning within the limits of the cycles it undergoes. How does someone who is infinitely all-present, all-powerful, all-knowing, abounding in love and grace experience being finitely absent, powerless, ignorant, hate-filled and spiteful? You intentionally place yourself in an environment where these traits can manifest and still be overcome.<\/p>\n

In the unfathomable vastness of an infinite eternal consciousness the greatest desire of love is communion. So, from the thought of this Cosmic Consciousness a vibratory frequency is released to create the vessels of intimacy. Since there is no \u201cother\u201d available, God, the ground of all Being, draws from Himself the very heart of matter to create All.<\/p>\n

Seeing the unseen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All creation displays the loving glory of an unseen God craving spiritual union. God forms a being from the elements of His creation. Each of these elements has its own independent cycle of beginning and ending within an interdependent material form. The Cosmic Consciousness expresses through the vibratory frequency the need for the divine nature of God to be planted within the materially created form and thus breathes a divine soul \u2013 a fractal of God \u2013 into the man creating the spiritual union between the seen and unseen.<\/p>\n

The soul of man is the everlasting kingdom of God. The purpose of the soul is to intuitively communes with the Creator and convey to the consciousness of man the thoughts and feelings through its the oneness with God. The soul is eternal, knowing no beginning or end. It comes from the unseen, or as the mystics call it, the astral realm, and resides in the material, or causal realm. When the material vessel of the soul has completed its life cycle, the soul returns to the astral realm.<\/p>\n

You are the limit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Consider the story of the wandering in the wilderness of the children of Israel as an example of your material cycle. God wouldn\u2019t move them into the promised land until all the dis-belief had been completely eliminated. A life cycle of forty years surely can work against a mind not able to commune with God. It matters little to God how many times you need to travel around the mountains of your dis-belief because He is waiting for you to one day enter into oneness.<\/p>\n

Right now, you are limiting the expression, \u201cone day.\u201d<\/em> In your finite way of thinking this is a day in your life to come. But what happens when you come to the end of your days and that \u201cday\u201d<\/em> hasn\u2019t arrived? The religionist will respond, \u201cI\u2019ll be one with the Father in heaven then!\u201d Yes, but so is everyone else. It\u2019s possible you missed the point of going around the mountain. The journey is not about what lies ahead of you but who you fail to ascend up to.<\/p>\n

What if the purpose of coming from the astral realm into a material realm is to learn how to overcome the limitations of the world to be present in the world but not a part of it? What if the eternal nature of your soul knows this but your mind can\u2019t hear it because you\u2019re more concerned about how naked you feel? What if that \u201cone day\u201d<\/em> of the Lord is a literal thousand years to your soul? How many material life cycles do you think grace will permit for the lesson to be learned? What if heaven is supposed to be on earth but can only be experienced by a soul who knows the lesson is oneness now not when your material form has reached its end use?<\/p>\n

It is possible to be with Him in the limits of your life. He already is in you. You just need to connect with Him to rediscover none other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
