God IS...



A wise Sentient BEing once declared: God Is I AM....YOU ARE

"ALL THINGS ARE GOD-LOVE, Everything that is GOD. God is. I AM. YOU ARE. God is I AM. All things reflect this Truth. All things embody this Truth. Words of poems, works of art, religions, and philosophies all speak of this Truth. But these can eventually become old, monotonous, and meaningless by constant repetition, unless we know, feel, believe, and are aware of the Spirit of Love that flows in, through, beneath, and above all things.

The way to awareness is a simple and natural process of child like acceptance. Christ assured us that it is the way to enter the kingdom. It is not a matter of ceremony, ritual, or traditional belief. It is not a matter of patterns of behavior handed down from generation to generation or imposed by one person upon another or by one group upon another. It is not a formality, not a building, not an organization, not a denomination, not a church. It is not learned in school or from books. Hints of it amy come from books and schools and churches and religions and philosophies. Reflections of it may come from teachers, wise men, poets, ministers, and seers. And once in a millennium, a Christ appears to cut through the complexities people insist on practicing. The truth that Jesus Christ spoke is simple: "I and the Father are one. You are the sons of God. The kingdom of heaven is in you. Love your neighbor as yourself."

Unfortunately, people took this simple truth and complicated it into dozens of opposing denominations. They took the kingdom that Christ freely gave to all individually and split it into little kingdoms, each of which was called the "true kingdom."

We have been taught that philosophers, theologian's, scientists, sages, poets, princes, kings, and political and religious leaders somehow have a monopoly on Truth and that we must go to them or through them to reach the kingdom. Many continue to believe this even though Jesus shattered that myth centuries ago. There is no monopoly on Truth. If Truth is available to any, it is available to all. Nothing can keep it from us except ourselves, our doubting selves, the selves which believe that Truth is available to only a chosen few who follow certain rule of behavior. Nothing can keep us from Truth except our unawareness that God is, we are.

When we give our time, devotion, energy, and money to one of many available guru's, leaders, or ministers of various creeds or denominations, because we believe he or she alone is on speaking terms with God, we deny our own divinity, our own inner kingdom, our own individuality. He or she makes the rules, establishes conditions, and claims divine authority. We accept his interpretations without question as he carves what he calls truth into bits which he tags and labels in his own language.

It's not only religious leaders and groups that try to chop up Truth and label it. There are also political labels, artistic labels, academic labels, sociological labels, economic labels, national labels, ethnic labels. The list is endless, and labeling continues even though it is a losing process. It creates division, confusion, envy, greed, hate, and conflict that lead to war and destruction. Trying to label Truth is not only destructive, it is futile. Trying to divide and label Truth makes no more sense than trying to count the drops of water in the ocean to see how large it is, or trying to pin tags on the waves to determine how the ocean works.

In Truth there are no labels, no divisions. There is only one, and we are all a part of this oneness. We are all endowed with the power to see and know, with the urge to feel and love. We merge with all that is, all that is, is God-sky, moon, sun, tree, flower, sap, bird, star, earth, and ocean, even thought and thing are one. All parts total one. I AM. You ARE. We are Light, Life, Beauty, Love, Truth. Every bird sings it, Every bud blossoms it. And every sun, planet, and moon spins it throughout eternity.

Nothing could exist without this Truth. The sun could not shine without it. No seed could sprout without it. No wheel could turn without it. No word could be spoken, no song could be sung, no thought could be thought, no heart could beat without it. The world, the solar system, this galaxy, the universe would desintegrate without this LOVE, this Truth that supports the universe, gives it existence. But his Truth in no way depends on any of the thousands of sermons, arguments, differences, conflicts, denominations, and divisions in which human are involved. These are errors that exist because we insist on dividing and labeling.v Let's enter the quiet kingdom--our personal, inner kingdom. Let's peel away all the adult misconceptions, that we have permitted so-called authorities to engrave on the walls of our brains. Let's disengage ourselves from pseudo-education and ego-sophistication. Let's close our eyes to appearances and return to the innocent child-the neglected-beautiful, pure, and perfect self, the I AM. Let's look with inward vision (the only true vision). while the misconceptions and complications fall away and dissolve into simplicity, as beauty grows and glows around us. Let's run barefoot and free through flowering meadows of Mind, while intuition teaches us over again: you, I, everything is God, is love, is beauty, is Truth.

There are no divisions, no labels, no tags, no denominations, no barriers, no condemnations, no denial, no rejection.

The child in us, because it lives on faith, does not see divisions. The inner i AM is tuned to the ecumenical mind. All roads that lead to God are good for the simple reason that all the roads are one.

When circumstances pull us back into the outer world, let's bring the child back with us. There is no disconnection. The child is always there and here. Truth is always there and here, when we are aware that all is beauty, Truth, God.

When appearances tell convincing lies, when misconceptions are thrust upon us, when others try to pin tags on Truth, there's no need to explain or argue. We do not "set others straight." We can on set ourselves straight by living the awareness of our Truth. We cannot make another aware, but by joining another in love and respect, we may enter our awareness together. Yet, even then each must find his own way, his own unique kingdom.

The road to Truth "is not far: it is within reach." We have all been on the road of truth since we were born, and did not know. We are now aware that Truth is indeed "everywhere on water and on land," also in the sky and in the air we breathe.

God Is. I AM. YOU ARE. NOW!"

And so ended the Sentient Beings voice
