Once we get to the place we realize we are one with God, it’s time to flip the script. Are you ready for this? It’s going to be good and probably will blow your mind. Sure you are ready? Okay, I will say it.
God is one with us.
Say the words, “God is one with me.” Then ponder that for a moment or two. It feels so strange, doesn’t it? Think about the implications.
If God is one with me, what I see, God sees. What I hear, God hears. What I think, God thinks. There is no separation. There is no minute space between who I am and who God is. God is one with each one of us in this ever so intimate way. Oh yeah, I made you think that. Even in the wonderfully private moments, God is right there with us experiencing it all. But don’t worry. I have good news to go with that very invasive statement.
You wouldn’t be embarrassed to have confidential thoughts you keep to yourself because you are the only one to experience them, right? They are your little secret. And that hasn’t changed by God being right there to experience it all with you because God IS you. Or in other words, God had those innermost thoughts inside the body that belongs to him which you happen to call yourself.
I don’t think the concept of God being one with us is very clear without meditating upon it. However, as I did meditate on this and began looking at the world saying to myself, “God is one with me in seeing this room” (or whatever I happened to be looking at in that moment), I realized I had stopped judging what I was seeing. Instead of looking at a room that needed cleaned or the walls painted, I saw how the light reflected beautifully on the walls and how the wood on the floor was shining in a honey perfection. I didn’t think those thoughts. I simply experienced them as I observed. And I realized something very important.
Ninety-nine percent of all our thoughts and emotions are socially trained into us, repeated until they are habitual and have absolutely nothing to do with what is actually in front of us nor with who we are as we observe. Those thoughts and emotions are not the truth about who we are. Those thoughts and emotions are not who I Am.
So today, I hope you will join me in accepting God is one with you so that you too can experience the world through newly realized ancient eyes.
I don’t normally say this, but today it fits… Namaste, My Friends. Namaste.
