Duality

This world is a very complex place. In spite of this complexity, there is one thing that everything has in common; everything has an opposite.

This is a world of duality. This means that nothing in it exists, without it’s opposite. There is no cause, without effect; no light without dark; no good, without bad. There is no spiritual, without animal; no giving, without taking; no hardness, without softness; no love without hate; and no grace without sin.
...

The reason for this duality is that this is a spiritual-material universe. Everything in this universe is composed of a mixture of Spirit (energy), and matter. Einstein proved with relativity that all matter is actually energy in a condensed, or stepped down form, so everything is Spirit in either a higher, or a lower vibration rate. The higher the vibration rate of the substance, the more we will perceive that to be energy, and the lower the vibration rate, the more we will perceive it to be matter. This perception is based on our relative view point of the substance.

The two different natures of spirit account for the duality found in this world. The spirit of higher vibration is positive in nature, and the lower vibration is negative. Both are essential for the physical universe to exist. Do not make the mistake of equating positive with good, and negative with evil, because they are actually the same; and arise from the same source. In order to have a physical world you need a denser vibration level of spirit in order to have “solid” objects. All of these “solid” objects, are animated, or manifested by higher vibration spirit (i.e. The Holy Ghost, The Holy Spirit, The Eck, The Word, etc.).

There are many names for this higher vibration spirit, and each religion has their own name for it. In the same manner each religion has a different name for the originator of this power (i.e. God, Allah, Sugmad, Jehovah, etc.).

This is the true explanation of the holy trinity as taught by most of the world’s religions. There is The Father (God). Out of The Father emanates The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit manifests The Son (mankind). The Holy Spirit manifests not only mankind, but everything in this physical universe. This is the secret to the “oneness of everything” as expressed by the mystics, Saints, and Saviors.
This world was created by God as a training ground for It’s Son (Man). Man must learn through many lifetimes, how to navigate and understand the duality of this world, and to stay in balance with the positive, and the negative.

In spite of the duality of this world, there is one thing that all opposites have in common…God.

The Spiritual Truth

What is the truth? What is life all about, and why are we here? Who or what is God, and what is my true relationship with It? These are the questions that everyone has, and everyone is searching for these answers.

The answers to these questions have been hinted at in every holy book ever written. The religions of the world have done their utmost to conceal these answers through dogma, ritual, and centrifuge. The reason that religions have purposely tried to hide these answers is because religions are here not to be way showers, but populace controllers. If you look through out history you will see how religion and rulers have always acted hand in hand to keep people under their control. They know that if the people learn, and can GRASP the real truth, they will have no power over them.

Most of us have been taught about the Trinity, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit; but we have never been taught the truth about the Trinity. We have been taught that The Father is God the creator that The Holy Spirit emanates from The Father and that The Son is Jesus Christ, Krishna, Buddha, or who ever your religion worships. These three separate entities are actually one and encompass the totality of GOD. This teaching places mankind as subservient to the Trinity, and in need of priests, rabbis, lamas, imams, etc. to link mankind up with God. Therefore mankind needs religion and its henchmen in order to be saved from damnation in the afterlife.

The truth is there is a Trinity. There is God the Father; out of The Father emanates The Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit manifests each and every one of us. We are the Son! Does that mean that each of us is God? I believe it is more correct to say that God is each of us! This is the secret to the “One in the many” mentioned in the holy books.

God is One, but through love chose to be many. However there is a stipulation, The Son has to go through trials and tribulations ignorant of Its divine roots. The Son must learn and master through Its own free will the lessons needed in order to earn knowledge of Its divinity. These lessons are learned through karma, and countless reincarnations. These lessons are all love based; that is why love has been emphasized in every holy book ever written, and by every Savior that has ever come to teach The Prodigal Son.

How can each of us be manifestations of The Holy Spirit when there are literally billions if not trillions of us? Each and every one of us occupies a different state of consciousness. Your state of consciousness is the real you, and is eternal. You will always be you because God wills it. Inside your state of consciousness you are the ultimate ruler of that domain. Inside your domain YOU are lawgiver, and the final word. What ever you decide is truth, is what will manifest into your life.

Therefore it is imperative that each of us strive to hold the highest truth that we are spiritually capable of handling, what ever that truth may be; because that is what you will manifest into your life. You should try to be as positive, and as love filled as possible. You need to know that you will never be closer to God than you are right NOW.

If you are capable of doing this you will notice a change happening in your life, as your love and attitude seems to be spreading to others. This is because you are manifesting God’s love in your life and to other souls.

If enough of us can grasp the truth, and live it, we can change the world.

The Spark Of Consciousness

What is the essence of man? Is the ego the true essence of man? No. The ego is the essence of one’s personality; it is how each individual interfaces with other people and everything else in this world. However the ego is not the essence of an individual. The essence of an individual is that spark we call consciousness. It is the spark of consciousness that enlivens all animate beings, and is the reason for their existence.

What is this spark, where does it come from, and why do we all possess it? Consciousness cannot not be created or destroyed, because it has always existed. The spark that enlivens you, and every one you know comes from the one great consciousness that we call God. The reason we all possess a piece of this is because God wills it. The mystics have spoken of this as “the One in the many”.

To conceptualize this, try to imagine God as a mirror of infinite size that was broken into countless pieces. Each piece of that mirror is what we call a soul. Each soul is independent of, and has freedom of choice for its actions, but at the same time is still a part of God. Each soul has been sent into the physical worlds to gain experience, through living as an independent individual unaware of its divine connection.

There are a couple of reasons why God did this. First is that God wants each of Its creations to learn lessons and grow. The second reason is that God gets to share each experience that every soul has on its journey as it matures. Every experience you have ever had, whether it is happy or sad, good or evil, has been shared with God. God has shared countless experiences because of Its creation soul.

Physical bodies mean little to God, as they are but overcoats worn by soul as it learns and grows. God is only concerned with Its beloved creation soul, and its continued growth. Each person should learn to identify them self as soul, a spark of consciousness, and not with their physical body, or their ego. Each person has been given that spark for all eternity, and it is the true essence of each person. The physical body is temporal, and will change from lifetime to lifetime, but your true self is eternal.

So is God.

Always and Forever

True love is forever. This is not a metaphor, or the writing of a poet. True love is what we all receive from God 24-7, always and forever. No matter whom you are; no matter what you do, you will always have God’s love.

>

Many religions teach that if you don’t follow their path you will lose God’s love and be damned to eternal misery in hell. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

>

We all need to be mindful of our actions, and take responsibility for them, but they are not, nor will they ever become the parameters to decide whether or not God loves us. Anytime you hear someone telling you that you will go to hell if you don’t follow their religion, realize that they are subtly trying to control you.

>

There are repercussions from our actions, whether good or bad, and that is accomplished through karma. Karma is what all souls in the worlds of duality have to contend with. The purpose of karma is to teach all souls the lessons they must learn before they can graduate from these lower worlds. If you have lived a particularly evil life, the effects of karma can be very harsh in one of your next lifetimes, but you are never cut off from God’s love.

>

The belief that you have been cut off from God’s love is called despair. The Catholic Church has always taught that the one true mortal sin is despair. The reason for this is that if you believe you have been cut off from God’s love, you will needlessly cut yourself off from God because you believe you are not worthy.

>

We all make mistakes; it is part of the human make up. We learn through trial and error, with karma showing us how we erred. Learning in this method is slow, and it takes many lifetimes to earn our degree to leave these worlds of duality.

>

If you screw up, try not to get down on yourself too hard, and definitely don’t try to hide from God. God understands these things. God’s love is always and forever.
