OUR
JOURNEY WITH THE CONCEPT OF GOD
God!
(Our presumptions and conditioning about god)
God?
(The questioning starts, presumptions get shaken-the conditioning seems
limiting)
I am God (We
expand into empowered personal consciousness & discover our Godhood)
God I AM (This expansion of Self paradoxically leads to its
spontaneous dissolution into Consciousness. We move from I am God to God I am.
Subtle, but all important difference!
A SUBTLE BUT VITAL DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN I
AM THAT – AND - THAT I AM
It’s beyond words really, so try the two meditatively and
experience the subtle but all important difference between:
I am That
And
That I Am
I am the universe; I am the sun; I am the tree....
And
The Universe I Am; The sun I Am; The Tree I Am....
Best
not to analyze it but experience it! But yes discern as you experience the
above states… in the former me/ego self/personal consciousness …is still
present… albeit in its most expanded form. This ‘me/i’… says it is That. This ‘me/i’ …
feels itself to be the universe or sun….! The me /i is still present. So we say
I am That.
In the
latter the I is not the ‘me’ … personal consciousness has dissolved into
being That…Universal consciousness… The
Sun… or Tree… and That Universal consciousness… The Sun… or Tree is expressing,
reveling in Itself… and saying : That I Am… The Sun I Am… The Universe I Am….
It’s
beyond words really, so try the two meditatively and experience
I am That = awareness of THAT I AM… still
somewhat distanced from it
That, I AM = Ah now we move into the Thatness,
which says I AM…
And in this union, as we become That...The abstract out there THAT … turns to a
silent Ah This ...Ah ...oooo..mmmm… AOM… OM…
GURU
GOD SELF
Surrender or homage can be to Guru God or Self… all three states are seemingly
the same & yet each is a subtle shift into establishing as authentic
Self... God Awareness. When nothing- not even our guru or god stands between
Self- when there isn’t even a grain of sand in between- do we truly abide in
Self. Ultimately abiding in Self is beyond devotion, gyan and even love .Devotion
to whom? And Gyan- knowledge of Self is still a hairs breadth from being Self!
Love implies another. And yet as Self- a state of being beyond duality & thus what we call
contradictions- even though there is no other we view all as aspects of Self,
and thus though one is beyond devotion love and gyan... they exist in relation
to Self & all its reflections
As long as we desire to ‘meet’ or ‘become One’
with God- we are going to have a ‘God’ outside self to do that with & the
Godself That I Am… cannot consciously Be. Our yearning- while it plays a vital
ripening role in the unraveling of Self- at the very core implies some degree
of a state/sense of separation. The gnosis that there is no God ‘out there’
shifts us from this desire into knowing its more about a growing awareness
...of our Godhood or the state of consciousness we call 'God'
HUMANS AS GODS
Man = God looking standing face to face with
Self and saying 'KUDOS'!
Man = Playful God - enjoying the cosmic game of
hide & seek
Man= Adventurous courageous God- to design &
play this king-size no-holds barred game
Man= Confident God- diving into an experience
which seemingly takes Self so far from Self, knowing that Self will come back-
enriched & with aplomb!
Man= Love Itself- for only Love of Self and
All That It Is could propel forth its human experience
Man= Creative God -to creatively experience Self in so many ingenious ways!
Man= God looking standing face to face with Self and hearing his/her inner
...chorus of Ahhh oooo mmmmm
Man= God knowing the orgasm of meeting Self is around the corner, still
enjoying the cosmic foreplay!
