That's true... but he also said "I and the Father ARE ONE." --- John 10:30 Andrea, I love your passion in what you believe. I am going to answer your other post later, because I am at work right now. Thanks for sharing your view and blessings to you too. :-)

God exists, but God is one with everything. Christ realized that so he said "Me and the Father are one". The one that doesn't exist is the small self (with lower caps). The only one that exists is the big Self (with caps) = God The denial of the self is what Jesus taught about. "Deny yourself" and he explained that this one is false and it didn't exists. He is the father of lies, the lie is what is not real. We think it exists but it doesn't. You don't like the idea that God is the only one that exists and you are holding on your idea of yourself. Jesus was very clear that you have to lose your life to gain him. Your life is what you think you are know. When you deny yourself you will leave "your life" you will die to the false self and you will be born again in Christ. With a new ego, but in fact you will have no-self, because you will be one with Jesus and God so your self (with small caps) will die and you will be born again the in the Self (with big caps). All these is very noticeable in a lot of things that Jesus said like:

The Bible actually says that God makes everything. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Lamentations 3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth? Amos 3:6 If a a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has not the Lord done it?

I read it, thousand times, I still read it and is my source of knowledge at the moment and I read it more and more frequently than any other "holy" book. what do you think that Jesus meant when he said "Me and the Father are one?" and... On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. John 14:20 On that day, it means the day when you will realize that you and god are one... and everyone, not only Jesus. Everyone. He says "realize" it means something that you didn't see well, at that moment you will see it differently. You will see that he is in the father and you are in him, and he in you. More clear than that, I don't know anything that could be more clear than that. He's saying "don't you see that we are all one?"... You are talking with a Christian (I was also a "mainstream" Christian), that never understood well the words of Jesus, and now it makes complete sense to me. More sense that when I was a "traditional/mainstream" christian. The beliefs and dogmas in the church are like the milk that we drink when we are children, the meat is to know that we are one also with Jesus and God and everyone. Those who think are "separated" are the ones that Jesus said... "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven." The idea of separation is what happened in the original sin, when the devil wanted to be like GOD. This is what the ego wants. To feel he is GOD, that's why we deny God. But we can also create an EGO who believes in God. That can happen. The EGO/DEVIL is very tricky. Be careful, mainstream Christianity is full of that. It's like the Devil is preaching through them, so people doesn't really deny themselves, as Jesus said. They don't do the work of denying themselves (denying the ego part of them), they create another EGO/DEVIL who thinks is a saint, that is saved and condemns and judge everyone, the same way that the pharisees judge Christ because he said he was GOD. Before Abraham was, I AM.

Where does God end and you begin? Your skin? Does your skin separates you from God? And if that's not the case, you skin and the "outside" is one with God. Who are you? Are you a series of thoughts encapsulated in a body? Are you God? Ask what you are, find out...

@zeroISinfinity Right!

@Ayla Welcome back!

Awesome... in fact is a very "strange loop" :-)

Yes, but you said Just kidding Lol... I was reading and I arrive to the conclusion that the Ego wants to be like "God"... the problem is to be God he has to renounce to himself, he has to know he is an illusion and that only God exists that is ultimate him. Is a master joke of the universe/God/toaster/spaghetti monster!!!

Thanks Leo for all the insights you share with us! So, have a great Birthday!!! Happy Birthday Leo!!!!

How do you swallow what is?

Thanks Anton. :-)

The Kybalion has some occult teachings in it? Did you read it? I have the pdf and I want to read it, I need to finish Nis "I am that" and Open secret by Wei wu wei. After I read those I think I will continue reading the Kybalion

I am having this thoughts lately... that God transcends everything even the "I" The I is the way to god... "I am the way" but god is nothing. And that nothing creates everything, so he is not-a-thing but he is everything too. :-)

This

?

I agree... is more confusing but more "shocking" to the mind. That's why I like it

@Mikael89 I always wanted to read that book, it's really good. In reality I was always curious about Wei Wu Wei. I found it searching books about enlightenment and he immediately caught my attention. He has a lot of books that I want to read hehehe... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei_Wu_Wei

Wei Wu Wei in his book "Open Secret" in my opinion is one of the few who really explain what we are not "inside" a body, or inside the brain or we are not the body either. I also struggled (and still do sometimes) with the idea that I am not the body. This is a fragment of the book I consider it very clear for understanding.

Numbers 22:28 hahahaha...

Google knows!!!

I found this book online @Scholar It is about how and why the "techniques" of different masters are well, different. :-) http://holybooks.lichtenbergpress.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/Be-Still-It-Is-The-Wind-That-Sings.pdf?83ba00

Love your ego, so you will be integrating it, instead of hating it. Love solves everything. :-)
