Jim.... >>>>"If believing in ONE (1) Source/End creates spiritual division or separation with that ONE (1)">>>> >>If one IS One with That there is no separation. But if one "believes" in something or someone as OTHER (normal subject/object awareness) then: subject: me(1) + object: God(1) = 2 entities, not 1 God as "believed" by egos is endless "Gods" all conceived differently! Surrendering the self-contraction into the Divine is surrendering into the SAME and ONLY One that manifests as all beings. Perhaps it's is the natural insanity of ego that's the problem We're together on that one, Frederick! Namaste! Jim>> The insanity of ego is like a never-ending tape that repeats itself over and over and over - ie. "Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem...." The egoic insanity is fed and fueled by the illusion of separation and division from the ONE (1) End/Source - ie. God. And the resulting virus of that erroneous tape playing over and over and over in our heads day in a day out is what places us against the truth of ourselves, others and the universe in general. In this way we spiritually fold ourselves inside out, away from the simple, clear, divine order, protection and providence of God's energy, light and love for us. And we attract and manifest that which we are - ie. problems, divisions, separations, pain, disease, etc. And as long as our egos can keep us enslaved to the illusion that we and others are End/Sources of this energy, light and love we end up being slaves to the illusion and pain of this division and separation. The death of ego is not a fun experience. All of us face the dark side of this unreality 24 X 7. It's always there because for us to be free is has to be there. For without the choice between darkness and light, lies and truth we are nothing more than atomoton slaves, the creation of a dictator God-creator. The simple concept that unconditional love is the essence of freedom is the foundation of all truth. And this freedom begins with the responsibility of self to love truth which begins with the awareness and belief that this perfect freedom proceeds forth from a divinely benevolent creator God, who seeks to have a personal relationship with each one of us. And this relationship begins when we acknowledge and believe that everything that is good, loving, truthful, forgiving, unconditional and divine comes from the same ONE (1) End/Source which we are all connected to 24 X 7. I acknowlege this ONE (1) End/Source as the Lord God Jesus Christ. But my personal acknowledgment and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ in no way is meant to deny the freedom of other individuals to acknowledge-believe whatever they want. Living and life begins when we open ourselves up to freely receiving and sharing with others the infinite energy, light, truth and love that comes from this ONE (1) End/Source. And when we bring the dictatorship-tyranny of ego into the picture it's the labels we give this source that are at the core root of the illusion and pain behind all this division and separation. For insane egos actually are competing against this ONE (1) End/Source - attempting to insanely claim, blame and shame ourselves and others into worshipping "it" versus the truth. Ego wants to believe that it's "me" versus "you" or "Adi Da" etc. But it's not "me" nor is it "you" or Adi Da. It's ONE (1)!! Period!! When we finally acknowledge the source of the dark tape spinning round and round in our heads commanding "Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, Houston we have a problem" we can open up to the true spiritual reality of our divine soul which knows full well that there's really is NO PROBLEM!! And in this way we ALL can experience and share the glorious sound of a new, glorious tape which will bring us all to sing and dance with one another while shouting "WE HAVE LIFT OFF!!" Thanks for sharing Jim!! Peace and God Bless! 119293!!
