Each soul, being formed by God's whim to know Himself, contains within itself the same desire for self-knowledge. In pursuit of the answer to that question (to gain conscious divinity) each soul evolves consciousness through experience of each form in seven kingdoms of evolution, i.e. stone, vegetable, worm, fish, bird, animal, and human. The impressions gathered through experience of these forms in turn seek expression. This need for expression of accumulated impressions gained through the medium of a particular form eventually cannot be accommodated by the form the soul identifies with, necessitating that the soul abandon that form and associate with the next most complex form through which the impressions can be expressed. By this process increasing consciousness is gained.
In this way, the soul experiences (by associating with) and discards (by dissociating from) forms in all the evolutionary kingdoms. According to Meher Baba the final form of the soul's evolution of consciousness is the human form, through which medium full consciousness is attained. Only human consciousness, which is full consciousness, is capable of achieving awareness of its own divinity.
However, although consciousness is full upon the attainment of the first human form, the soul's ages-long accumulation of impressions gathered through evolution prevent it from identifying itself as God, its true being. Instead, human consciousness is preoccupied with expressing its impressions by seeking sensual experiences. Ultimately, however, through the soul's travail through numerous human incarnations encompassing the whole range of opposite human experience (e.g. man/woman, rich/poor, powerful/weak, etc.), the impressions accumulated through its evolution, as well as those gathered in its human lives, begin to thin and the soul's awareness of a reality beyond its own immediate desires is stirred. This is the beginning of the end of the soul's separate existence. The soul then begins to traverse an inner spiritual path, or involution, through which it gradually eliminates all impressions which cause the appearance of separateness from God.
Once all impressions are gone, the goal of knowing itself as conscious divinity is attained. The drop (soul) once again becomes merged in the Ocean (Over-soul). That is, it realizes its true divine indivisible and eternal nature. It has now answered the question of “Who am I?” with “I am God.”[30]

wrong and sinful.
This is the same sin of vanity and pride that led to Satan's rebellion and fall. This is also part of the end-time delusion to confuse and lead many astray.

We are NOT God; we are spiritual beings created by God.
God is the All. Omnipresent means "everywhere present" not "present in some places and not in others."
Our egos (misidentification with the body-mind) are not God, but our "Beingness" is. That's the part of us that's the same now as it was when we were three years old. It's not affected by moods, "sins", thoughts, feelings, physical decay, bombs, diseases, insults, praise or anything else. It is still, silent, peaceful, all-embracing, and is not separate from anyone or anything. This "Awareness" identifying itself with a limited body-mind organism creates the appearance of separation. Yet, it's only an appearance.
It is vanity to say you are separate from God, to claim that you are a "somebody"... an "individual"... an "ego" separate from the One with a personal will and agenda. That is vanity at its worst.
The "fall" is just what you're describing. You believe in good/evil. You believe you are separate from Him. That's the fall. That's the sin. That's "missing the mark."
"Be still and know that I am God."
"I AM THAT I AM."
Know yourself -- your real self that is always one with Him -- not the garbage pail we call the "ego-mind" that is obsessed with right/wrong, good/bad, righteous/sinful. That's all trash.
Truth is indivisible and never changes.
Satan is ego saying, "Look at me! I'm separate from God! I have a will, a mind and a body all my own and I'll do as I please!"
That is Satan (evil). And, you've just glorified him. Good job.
You've just slapped God in the face with the attitude of "I am separate from God." That *attitude* is the Anti-Christ.
The surrendered attitude of, "They will be done," and "All that I have is Thine," is what it means to love God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength.
Loving your neighbor as yourself means recognizing first, God in you, then God in your neighbor -- as yourself -- and surrendering to that Oneness that connects us all like pearls on single thread. That thread that connects us is God/Love.
Oneness = God/Love
Duality/Separation = Mind/Ego/non-love
All is God in truth... even ego... even sin... even believing in right/wrong, good/bad. All is Him. There is no escape from that underlying Reality we have labeled "Love" or "God."
God is the All. Hence the term "Omnipresent." |
