WHAT HUMAN BEINGS DON’T
UNDERSTAND ABOUT GOD"},"content":{"rendered":"

Might this be a fine stretch of eternity during which to declare that there is clearly something we don\u2019t fully understand about God, the understanding of which would change everything?<\/p>\n

To put it more dramatically, is it possible that unless we enlarge and expand our primitive ideas about God and about Life in the decades just ahead, we may find that we have backed ourselves into a corner, from which there is no escape?<\/p>\n

Conversations with God <\/i>told us that humanity nearly rendered itself extinct once before. Barely enough of us survived to regenerate the species and start over. Are we at this same turning point again? Have we arrived once more at the intersection where theology meets cosmology meets sociology meets pathology?<\/p>\n

Right now we are still embracing a Separation Theology. That is, a way of looking at God that insists that we are \u201cover here\u201d and God is \u201cover there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The problem with a Separation Theology is that it produces a Separation Cosmology. That is, a way of looking at all of life that says that everything is separate from everything else.<\/p>\n

And a Separation Cosmology produces a Separation Psychology. That is, a psychological viewpoint that says that I am over here and you are over there.<\/p>\n

And a Separation Psychology produces a Separation Sociology. That is, a way of socializing with each other that encourages the entire human society to act as separate entities serving their own separate interests.<\/p>\n

And a Separation Sociology produces a Separation Pathology. That is, pathological behaviors of self-destruction<\/i>, engaged in individually and collectively, and producing su\ufb00ering, con\ufb02ict, violence, and death by our own hands\u2014as evidenced everywhere on our planet throughout human history.<\/p>\n

Only when our Separation Theology is replaced by a Oneness Theology will our pathology be healed. We have been di<\/i>\ufb00<\/i>erentiated <\/i>from God, but not separated <\/i>from God, even as your \ufb01ngers are di\ufb00erentiated but not separated from your hand. We must come to understand that all of life is One. This is the \ufb01rst step. It is the jumping-o\ufb00 point. It is the beginning of the end of how things now are. It is the start of a new creation, of a new tomorrow. It is the New Cultural Story of Humanity.<\/p>\n

Oneness<\/i> <\/i>is not a characteristic of life. Life is a characteristic of Oneness.<\/i> This is what we have not understood about our existence on the Earth, the understanding of which would change everything.<\/p>\n

Life is the expression <\/i>of Oneness Itself. God <\/i>is the expression of Life Itself. God and Life are One. You are a part of Life. You do not and cannot stand outside of it. Therefore you are a part of God. It is a circle.<\/p>\n

It cannot be broken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
