It is said that God is no respecter of person, that his light shines equally on the just and the unjust, the good and the evil. It is this scripture, among many others, that points the seeker of wisdom to the reality within themselves that God is not a personality, nor is God a self, nor is God a good God or an evil God. Of all messages of wisdom enlightenment, this message of God being an impersonal God of Pure Thought is the most difficult for the human ego to accept, for the human ego is deeply indoctrinated to the dual moral human code/law of reward and punishment. The human ego is used to following the human collective morals based on the Ten Commandments, ten laws that were meant to tame the mind, to point to the Righteous nature of God's Thoughts, and being a temporary "pointer to", were not intended to be accepted as the final Word (the Nature of) the Father.

There can be no stepping into Grace until there is questioning by the Son of God as to the Nature of the Father beyond all human thoughts of a good and evil "split-personality" God of reward and punishment. Some will try to place forward that the New Age God is one of reward only, of goodness only, but this is a denial of man of God's ordained law of opposites. Where good is interpreted, evil lurks in its shadow of belief in dualism. Where evil is interpreted, good lurks in its shadow of belief in dualism. Where reward is interpreted, punishment lurks in its shadow of belief in dualism, and vice versa. As hard as he tries, as deep is his sincere intent to do so, man cannot separate the opposites so as to keep one and discard the other; however, what man can do, as he has been purposed to do by the Activity of the law of the Spirit of life is to transcend the opposites completely and return (ascend) to his Father's House wherein no opposite resides.

The God of opposites is Adam's illusion of God. The God of split-personality is Adam's illusion of God. The spirit of Adam was made to fall asleep; this is Adam's journey. The spirit of Adam is also made to awaken; this is the journey of the Spirit of Christ. Every revelation, every realization, every rejuvenation of Spirit is the ordained Journey of man in this realm of awakening from his illusion of a second creation, and of his illusion that (permanent) glory is to be found in his illusion of a second creation.

The ego fights the growing awareness that God's Nature is Singular, without a second-thought, without thought of specialness, or of preference, for the ego that inhabits its illusion of a second creation feeds upon its imagined corporate, hierarchy world of God. This is man's journey - to believe this lie of flesh (of a second mind), to awaken from the sleep of this lie and to repent (turn around from) this lie so as to return to His Father's House of Whole, Complete, Perfect and Pure Thought of I AM, to Grace, to Thy Will IS Done.

The activity of the Christ is the activity of the Spirit of Thought by Way of the law of the Spirit of life within every individual conscience of omnipresence. Man's belief in a collective Christ or a collective God of human fragmented voices of good and evil interpretations is the very human idea(l) that veils the Voice of Conscience of the Grace that is Thy (only) Sufficiency. Those who hear this one Voice of the Wholeness of the Kingdom of God that is within them (and no where else) is the one who knows (and in knowing, lives) the Spirit Activity of I and my Father are One.

bito, you attempt to describe the something we call God. This we are incapable of expressing, though we are capable of knowing in some tiny way that which also wonderfully embraces the all.

You are correct in describing God as beyond duality, yet God is also love.

We seek to say, 'I know' when what we should be seeking to accept is 'I don't know.' This is the ground of knowledge. In this lies freedom from the tyranny of the ego.

Perhaps the most prevelent face of God is paradox. One such paradox is that while we can be given grace or step into grace we are already complete with grace.

You speak of repentance. This is the truth that we are most thoughly afraid of - there is no call for repentance for we are forever utterly innocent and utterly loved, it is by this pre-condition that we accept life. It is when we realize this truth that we become truly repentent.

one of the threads i understand in the concept of which you speak is the extended idea that we are no more than slaves to god or the devil when it all comes down to an end argument you either worship one or the other or drift in a misplaced faithless void of non religion and baseless inaccaurate philosophy to this end what choice is there then good or evil or maybe just sit on the fence and stay out of it till its done. I dont prescribe to this way of thinking about god. To me god gave us ultimate freedom we can find happiness with out knowing god personally worship is not demanded love is not demanded you are your own being with the power to choose faith in god or the universe or human kind or maybe your mum or dad. For those who choose to accept god or Allah or Budda into their hearts i believe choose the real freedom ( in the end there is no freedom from life other than death for us as humans ultimately freedom is a shade of grey we are never truely free in changing form we become chained to the life of a shape changer is a shape changer only one conscious with a body that changes?))we have the choice to be all loving and understanding of our humanbeing and kind to project wisdom and kindness to work for prosperity and safety and the future now. The scriptures and i dont care which ones as long as they are authentic will all give windows paths and opportunity into the beings we are and how to avoid the dangers there in how to find joy in every day. for those in the middle of a war may it give you the undeniable courage and strength to forge onwards to a peaceful present. Why does the love give courage and strength because there in the scriptures of all lands and all peoples for all time has there been knowledge of an afterlife of some kind there are witnesses in all peoples as well. The knowledge this does not come to an end it is not all for nothing we do not know were we are headed the future at times looks bleak however here we are here is the universe do you honestly expect me to believe that in the expanse of infinity everything i do everything the universe collapses and comes to nothing scientists who tout this should be arrested for terrorism, it all has meaning the universe and every life in it and then some if you put together all the religions and the concept of an afterlife several things are true of all good is rewarded evil is punished some go to heaven some go to hell and all of us get to go round again and again correcting mistakes learning about life as a human in the universe and then when we are finished doing that we probably go some where else and do something different for a while like become a rock and then do something else fun. The concept of the being god is so huge we cannot fathom with our minds. to this end we are tiny nothings in the expanse or so said until recognized that the whole of the universe is made of the sum of its parts. have a nice day yours truely

hi michael

God is dualistic to me until i recognize that there is no wrong doing god can perform or no right there are only doings of magnanamus expanse this doesnt help though because creation is said to be good would it not be better to say god is god and evil is evil a capacity of humans for freedom so said and god is so much more else God leaves us out of any master plan only giving us life which we do not thank god for nor our parents some times mia coulpa mia coulpa mia maxima coulpa ahmen to think god is binary is ludicrous but is it not also ludicrous to beleive god does not have binary capacity. michael my emails p.psionic@yahoo.com try and get through if you like love to chat

God is a character in a book - the Bible, just like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. are characters in other books.
