The Nature of God...Is It the Soul? The Consciousness?

From the times when the Hebrews were waiting for the Messiah and had that expectation about him as a king who would be able to help in defeating the enemies and being

able to turn bad into good (the God of the forty seventh

psalm), they didn't

accept the "gentle Master

of My kingdom is not of this world" in the forty sixth psalm (God is our refuge and strength therefore will not we fear). In which there is an indication that "the nature of God has been misunderstood" being a "reason why peace on earth and good will to men have not been experienced." God is not going anywhere to destroy our enemies. God is within and may destroy the enemies within ourselves if we invite it in our consciousness. The enemies made up in our mind from personal perception, "from the greatest evil, self-preservation to the least evil which is believing that we are good, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, or moral, which we are not, for only the presence of God in us is good"

Would not the fact that the so many prayers asking for subjugation of others not been answered be the proof that it has been a wrong way to go? We see stil there is no peace on earth only in a few peaceful individuals who experience the consciousness of the I am.

"The belief that the Christ was a man and the worship of the Christ as a person have blinded the eyes of mankind to the truth that God is Spirit, God is love, and God is life." The secret of mystics like Lao-tze, Gautanma de Buddha, shankara, Guru Nanak and others, has been their discovery of God and the Christ. In their teachings, all of them, caution, advice not to worship the individual.

"God is not to be used; the Christ is not to be used. It is not something to which we can turn in the expectation that It will do something for us. No, the Christ is That into which we relax ourselves", our refuge and strength so we walk without fear, It is not That to do something in our lives, but the force that lives our life.

Are not spiritual matters rather difficult to understand?. Proving that by giving away our food; by offering clothing to others; by being honest, doing our best expecting nothing of a reward; and getting back somehow more and better of whatever we offer, it's a fact for one to be able to acknowledge that something works right even if we don't understand it. To grasp that Gandhi gave up his life to improve some other's lives we have to be in that loving, unselfish united consciousness. Gandhi, always harmoniously giving, sharing and blessing others...still in our consciousness...is he immortal? I would say yes, one of the characteristics of the creator. And everywhere...omnipresent.

"Our understanding of spiritual life unfolds in proportion to our receptivity to Truth, not praying up to God, but letting God unfold and reveal Itself o us. This is the higher concept of prayer. It is achieved as we take a few minutes now and then during the day and evening to meditate, commune, listen. In quietness, we become a state of receptivity which opens the ways for us to feel or become aware of the very presence of God. This feel, or awareness, is the activity of God, Truth, in our consciousness- it is the Christ, the Reality of us".
