God is not an outsider.

[This is in response to Listen to Me's blog of today (01.08.07) "Differentiate you must, judge you must not.]

When you say “… we are not and we can never be God or part of Him”, you appear to be making a twin-error – one, in reducing “we” to our limited physical body and two, in assuming that God is less than the whole or total or absolute. If your definition of God is only “the person (or entity) who/that created the world/universe” then certainly we are not nor can we be that entity because that entity is a thing of the past (meaning creation is over – at least this round – and thus the role of the creator is also over). But if God is defined not just as the creator, but that “which is and is not”, then we would see that everything is God in the varieties of His Truth. If everything seems so un-God-like to us in our normal state, that is only because we see with our limited understanding. The whole aim of spiritual teachings is to awaken us to our capacity to see without any limitations. Even that which perishes transforms itself into the state of is-not. Therefore it can be seen that the situation of duality does not deny the inevitability of non-duality.
