Biblical Realities

I am now going to take statements from the Bible and other gnostic/apocryphal books and bring them all together on this post, which might occasionally be added to. This is a clarification of my last posts, as these statements will only be of forgiveness, oneness, equality, and self-honesty. They might point out separation, but I will list them here if the message is one of unity. Remember that God's perspective is your perspective. I will write comments in parentheses as clarification. Enjoy.

The Bible

• Genesis 2:17 “Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die.” (Good and evil is duality and separation.)
  
• Exodus 3:14 “I AM THAT I AM."
• Deuteronomy 8:3 “Man does not live on bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God.” (This Word comes from your own mouth as self-expression of oneness and equality.)
• Psalm 46:1 “God is our protection and strength, an omnipresent help in trouble.” (You are your own protection and strength as all as one and equal.)
• Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I AM God.” (Still the mind, and you will know that you are God.)
• Proverb 8:35-36 “Whoever finds me finds Life, and receives kindness from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” (Solomon is speaking of wisdom as yourself. You are Life, but if you are self-dishonest, you will live in separation.)
• Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world.”
• Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” (You are judging yourself.)
• Matthew 7:12 “Do to others what you would have them do to you, for this is the Law.” (The Law is that you are always doing this to yourself.)
• Matthew 7:27 "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
  
• Luke 17:21 “The kingdom of God is within you.” (God is within you as you.)
• John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (The Word is your Living Word, which is your self-expression of oneness and equality.)
• John 8:31-32 “If you practice my teaching, then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (The teaching of all as one and equal will result in self-realization.)
• John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.” (You are one and the same as the Father.)
• Ephesians 2:14 “Christ is our peace, who made the two into one and brought down the wall of separation between us.” (Jesus seemingly ended the separation, but it was actually the realization that there is no separation in reality.)
• Revelation 22:13 " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." (You are the Alpha and Omega unified as Life.)

Gospel of Thomas

• God’s Divine Rule is within you and you are everywhere. When you know yourself, you will be known, and you will understand that we are one.
• It is what comes out of your mouth that will reveal you. (Are you expressing words from thoughts or is it the Living Word from self-honesty?)
• When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so the male will not be male and the female will not be female… then you will enter the Kingdom. (That is self-realization.)
• I stood in the world and found them all drunk, and I did not find any of them thirsty. They came into the world empty, and they seek to leave the world empty. But meanwhile they are drunk. When they shake off their wine, they will open their eyes. (The wine is self-dishonesty.)
• If a blind person leads a blind person, both of them will fall into a hole. (Not only that, but you are blind if you become a follower. Do not be led by others, but by yourself.)
• The new world you are looking forward to has come, but you don’t know it. (The new world is found in self-honesty.)
• Congratulations to the person who has forgiven and has found life. (You are not your mind, but Life.)
  
• I am the one who comes from what is whole... therefore, I say that if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.
• Those who know all, but are lacking in themselves, are completely lacking. (Self-honesty is all, and information is not you.)
• Whoever is living with the living One will not see death. (Not with the living One, but as the living One.)
  

No God but Self

What? No God? What do I mean? No, I'm not atheist. But I'm not theist, either. I've realized that I've had spiritual experiences in the past, but they don't come from God. The whole idea that I have programmed in my mind is one of fear and separation. So if I am in the present moment, thinking of a God decreases my ability to be aware. I can't do it. I think, "what will happen next?" or "what is God going to do?" It is still separation, when presence is unity. Therefore, I am still in my mind.

I have noticed that the teachings of A Course in Miracles are genuine, and they teach about separation. Yet, it contradicts itself with the idea of the Trinity. For example, "God is my refuge and security." There is still a subject and object. And the whole thing about listening for the Voice of the Holy Spirit is separation. It is still partly deception. What needs to be done in every religious or spiritual group is that we need to point out the separation. ACIM did pretty well, and I'm not saying anyone should abandon its teachings completely. The same with the Bible or any other holy book. Just search for oneness and equality.

"But if there is no God, where did everything come from?" Well, since the idea of God is of separation and fear, and since we also know there's no proof of him existing outside the mind, God couldn't have created this world. Well, then who did? Obviously, Satan did! Just kidding. Actually, oneness did. You know for sure that you exist, and if we can't find a creator, why don't we find the creation? Creation as all as one as equal? Now, we have to stop the mind, as that works through separation. And finding separation is also working from the mind. So find unity.

Be yourself, but not your body or your mind. "I am all and everything that exists as one and equal." Then you will realize that you are the creator, as everyone and everything is as well, since you are one and equal with all.

By the way, welcome to my new blog!
