ll creation is a manifestation of God's spiritual energy and is the essence of our God. All that is extant in creation is infused with this energy. We, as souls, are a unique expression of God and are capable of achieving a state of spiritual being similar to God's that makes survival possible. God created us souls for companionship and also to be co-creators. When some of us rebelled, it forced God to re-evaluate us and our capabilities. It also required that God re-evaluate God.

During the process, many characteristics of God were discovered that were previously unknown to God. God was with the Void from the beginning, and after millenniums with the barren Void became very bored and decided on separation. (The void will go on eternally as will God). Separation was a creative act; unity no longer exists; but God is free and responsible for all that occurs.

God enjoys creating; it is a pleasant experience with results of great beauty. All manifestations flow from God into the void in all directions, and continue to this day. God is at the center of God's creation, but it is impossible to know its location. Any point in the universe can be the center since it seems to recede in every direction from that point.

The phenomenon is consistent with one theory of science about the creation of the universe, the "Big Bang". It is believed by many of us as scientists that a cataclysmic explosion began our universe, and it explains why the universe continues to expand in all directions. Science at this time cannot acknowledge God as the creator instead of a "Big Bang".

God became aware of aloneness and loneliness in the midst of the beauty created. We souls were created similar to, but not quite like God, and there will always be significant and powerful differences. With our creation as souls, God's loneliness was alleviated.

Observing rebel souls makes God more aware that the state of being is the essence of creativity. An altered state or condition is always the inevitable result of a creative act. The result might be beautiful to one of us who creates, but not necessarily so to the rest of us. It also became obvious to God that unless the creator's motivation is pure, creating is mostly destructive rather than constructive. Creativity is a threat to existence, since some rebel souls see beauty in a destructive act. It is a dilemma exacerbated by souls that God has had to resolve.

God's conclusion is that the threat to existence cannot be completely resolved. The opportunity for constructive creativity and beauty can be improved only by us as souls behaving like God. It is not enough to be "Of" God; we have to be "With" God. A preliminary requirement is achieving the same level of spiritual being as that of God. It is of itself a powerful force and results in caring for ourself and all other souls. In this spiritual state, we can have faith that the actions we take are in the best interest of self and most others, although some of us will not accept it as intended. Caring is a realistic and not an emotional love, and it is the way God loves. God makes no judgment to limit our action and accepts that we souls can even choose anti-God behavior. The only judgment God makes is whether or not we achieve oneness with God. God will help only those of us (physical or non-physical) who have achieved an elevated spiritual state of being. In this sense God lets love be God's freedom and limitation in helping souls. We souls have to want God's help and choose to receive it when God offers it to us.

God established guidelines for behavior to help us rebelling souls achieve a spirituality similar to God's. They will become known as the four commandments. The first is to love God with all our heart, mind and soul. This means a complete undiluted focus on God. Worship of any substitute dilutes belief and love of God and is unacceptable. Substitutions have been possible because God is not, and has not been, understood or recognized as a God of love. God's love, kindness, understanding and forgiveness are only now beginning to be recognized. God has been and still is predominantly presented as the ultimate source of punishment, and the false god as a mediator and savior from God.

There are cultures where God is not recognized; nevertheless, these populations still need to worship. A fellow human of comparatively exemplary behavior among them is embellished with myths and eventually made an object for worship and emulation. In the past, Kings and Emperors have also been made gods to be worshiped. More recently, an idea or cause embraced and enforced by state power has become a God substitute. In all cases, a few humans have been able to control and manipulate the vast majority of us because of our need to worship. We have allowed ourselves to be kept in a negative anti-God state of being that perpetuates our Illusion of Self. Personal responsibility to God is diluted and minimized by collective rather than individual worship. To this day, most of us have focused on an external false god instead of the God within.

The second commandment states: Love our neighbor as we would love ourselves. God is reminding us that we all have God's essence within us. When we love our neighbor as we love ourselves we are loving God, and that part of God that is within us all. With an Illusion of Self, any capability to give our love is heavily conditioned; there is an expectation of some self-gratification in return for whatever love we bestow. When we love as God commands we love unconditionally. We care as individuals for others in spite of the warts created by their Illusion of Self. We observe the negative behavior without negative judgment, and are helpful if there is a request for our assistance.

God's third commandment is to be loving and forgiving. It is for us a necessary corollary to the second, for if the third is not followed, it is impossible to always obey the second. Our ability to be loving and forgiving can be severely tested when we are targeted for negative behavior. Actually, when we forgive we are doing as much for ourselves as for the one forgiven. Forgiving is a loving act, and loving frequently requires our forgiveness. Forgiving removes the negativity from us that may be created by the individual to be forgiven. It is an example of our loving behavior, and it may have a positive influence on the forgiven. If an offending individual persists with prolonged negative behavior toward us, it is our right to remove ourself from the relationship. God does not require us to perpetuate a negative force. Like God, we can be caring but disengage and let the individual search for and choose other options. If we are one with God, we are protected from extreme negative behavior by fellow humans.

The last commandment is that we obey the preceding three. It is a reminder for us that adherence to all commandments is necessary to achieve a spirituality similar to God's. Obeying the four commandments not only helps us achieve a spirituality similar to God's, but it is also an antidote for all of humankind's negative activity.

Spirituality is an ongoing, dynamic state of being. When we achieve oneness with God, our spirituality status is that of a novice in the spiritual realm and a great joy to God and our guides. On the earth plane, our great spiritual achievements will probably go unnoticed because of the prevalent human understanding of spirituality and God. However, those of us who reach our desired spiritual goal will find it is enough of an award. We know our spirituality will evolve as does God's throughout eternity. God's spirituality will be a beacon for us eternally.





Source of all there is extant

We are of you and you of us

And greater than the sum of us

Too often we act in the measure of time

As if the source is not extant

Through the millenniums of time

Patiently you wait for us to be

More cooperative with you

Each other and all else that is
