THE SPIRITUAL KEY

Jesus came to provide us with the incredible details of our veiled Divinity.

Your life actually is God's life. God is in your body at this very moment as you.

There is no YOU in your body other than God. God's Divine presence is obscured by your ego, the entity that assumes itself to be you.

The ego...the false self...exists because we mistakenly identify with our mind and its memory content: Our past, its joys, its pain, our value systems, our concepts and contexts of life.

This setup, as God designed it, is evidently cryptic. To what end requires some conjecture.

It would seem God said to Himself, "A cosmic divergence would be fun about now. I will become humanity to play the game of life. I will lead seemingly non-Divine lives, for a change, by having mankind be oblivious to its inherent Divine existence and power.

My Divinity will be veiled by ego and act subservient to it. Thus, my beingness will seemingly shift from its omnimagnificence to its opposite extreme...a human personality.

Although ignorant of its Divine foundation, humanity will still have Divine power, whose magnitude will be inverse to the magnitude of ego. That will set the potential for christhood.

Whatever lives they lead, I will not judge them. I'll always love them. After all, it is I Who will be living their lives behind the scenes...it is I that will have saddled them with minds, thereby setting up the likelihood they will be a bunch of turkeys. As long as they are asleep to Divine reality, this game I will play promises to be quite amusing."

Essentially without form, God has power to take on form. God BECAME the universe. ANIMATE... INANIMATE...ALL THAT EXISTS IS GOD.

Evidently, God wished to experience other than a Divine existence. God is having Himself a blast being the universe and all of life...all the plant life, all the animals and humanity.

All human activity is actually God's doing...it is the activity of God in form...at the behest of ego. This means EVERYTHING...from making love to waging war. Through man (Sanskrit for form) God lives a life of imperfection...for a change. But, is not man perfect in his imperfection?

HITLER WAS GOD, IGNORANT OF HIS DIVINE IDENTITY. WAR IS HUMAN ACTIVITY WHERE GOD (in form) KILLS GOD (in form).

GOD (in form) FLEW ROCKETS THAT LANDED ON THE MOON.

MAKING LOVE IS HUMAN ACTIVITY WHERE GOD (in form) ENJOYS SEXUAL INTIMACY WITH GOD (in form).

Yep, everytime we have sex God enjoys it along with us. Actually, only God enjoys it because only God's consciousness experiences it, while ego erroneously thinks it is enjoying the experience.

Facilitated by ego's presence, through man God lives other than a Divine existence...other than omni-perfect, omni-intelligent, omni-powerful, omni-successful... motivated, from ego's perspective, by omni-boredom.

As mind-boggling as it is, we cannot escape the humor of all this...the Cosmic Joke. The joke is on us because, ultimately, THERE IS NO US. Disguised as man, God ACTS OUT in 3-dimensions His fantasy life.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.

In the late 1970s an organization named EST (Latin for "to be") offered a two-weekend workshop called the EST Training. Participants were prepared to hear a message that was communicated on the second Sunday.

The message was: YOU ARE GOD.

I did the EST Training in 1979. When I heard those three words they went in one ear and out the other. I was an atheist.

The EST organization was retired in 1985. It regrouped and became Landmark Education. Today they offer the Landmark Forum, as well as other workshops and seminars, geared to have you awaken to your Divinity and to connect with your Divine power to create your life as you wish it to be.

Centuries ago the Buddha sought to awaken mankind to its Divinity. Zen Buddhism is about collapsing the ego and achieving Buddha-nature, a synonym for christ-consciousness. Yes, there are christs on this planet right now. Christ, a Greek word (hristos), means annointed of God.

The "laughing Buddha" is symbolic of knowing the cosmic joke...of being enlightened.

For Moses to perform his miracles he must have had christhood, likely bestowed upon him on Mount Sinai by Holy Spirit in the form of the burning bush.

Buddhism is a philosophical offshoot of Hinduism. Vedanta, the spiritual philosophy of Hinduism, teaches "Brahman is all." Brahman...God...is EVERYTHING.

Vedanta calls this nonduality, as opposed to duality which is the notion that there is both God and God's creations, separate. Nonduality says there is only God, including His creations...no separation; Brahman is ALL.

In his book, The Way Of Zen, Alan Watts states, "The basic myth of Hinduism is that the world is God playing hide-and-seek with himself.

The lord under many names creates the world by an act of self-dismemberment or self-forgetting, whereby the One becomes Many, and the single Actor plays innumerable parts.

In the end, he comes again to himself only to begin the play once more -the One dying into the Many, and the Many dying into the One. Every life is a part or role in which the mind of God is absorbed, somewhat as an actor absorbs himself in being Hamlet and forgets that in real life he is Mr. Smith.

By the act of self-abandonment God becomes all beings, yet at the same time does not cease to be God. For God is divided in play, in make-believe, but remains undivided in reality. So that when the play comes to an end, the individualized consciousness awakes to find itself divine."

On the last weekend of June of 1984 the awesome truth of that "myth" was suddenly thrust upon me as I participated quite naively in yoga breathing. My breathing experience was incredibly mind blowing and completely life changing. In the middle of that session my atheism swiftly came to a screeching halt.

When you collapse your ego...facilitated with yoga breathing...you may connect with your true self... Higher Soul...also known as christ-consciousness...a synonym for Holy Spirit.

Yoga, a Sanskrit word, means united...implying with God. All forms of yoga provide the awesome risk of experiencing union with The Creator in one way and another. Yoga breathing is among the more powerful.

It should now be clear why Jesus said, "Forgive your enemy...pray for your enemy...love your enemy." Your seeming enemy is actually your spiritual partner... another human form of God...another form of YOU... supporting you to experience the game of life.

Some experiences can be tough and very painful, even destructive to you. But, you draw them into your life due to past behavior, things that you did or said that diminished your oneness (your integrity) with mankind. Some call it the wages of sin...but, it is karma...an arcane tool by which to experience life.

Yes, we create our future and we do it with the power of our Divinity. The content of our future is based on what we do and say today. This is taught in a host of books such as The Secret.

An unhappy future can be inadvertently created as a function of the ego...appropriately labeled the anti-Christ...that which masks our Divinity.

Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." It was not Jesus' ego that spoke but christ consciousness...THE VERY SAME CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS THAT EXISTS IN EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.

It is very likely that Jesus' ego was continually collapsed, placing him ever in touch with his christhood and its Divine power, the source of the miracles he performed.

As part of Jesus' core message...THIS DIVINE STATE IS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE OF US...and why he said, "What I have done you too can do and greater things."

Recent books that seek to awaken humanity are Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, and Power Vs Force by spiritual psychiatrist David R. Hawkins.

Dr. Hawkins, who comes across as an avatar in all his books, states, “The ubiquitous human ego is actually not an “I” at all; it’s merely an “it”. Seeing through this illusion reveals an endless Cosmic Joke, where the human tragedy itself is part of the comedy.”

God has consciousness...God is consciousness. All God's creations are composed of the consciousness that is God. Siddha Yoga refers to life as a play of consciousness.

What of clinical psychology and mental illness? IT'S ALL INVALID. People suddenly realize they are God and psychiatry diagnoses schizophrenia. The existence of psychiatry, ever misconstruing, is part of the cosmic joke.

Should you believe any of this? Belief never provides truth. Go in search of truth. INVESTIGATE! This message only scratches the surface. The amazing truth of our existence has depth and width more enthralling than you can imagine.

AWAKEN AND LIVE FROM YOUR DIVINITY.

I wish you and yours the joy of an enlightened life.
