There is no God without you, there is no you without God

Usually when I am asked to write an article or blog – I take some time to think about what message I want to share. However, when the publishers of this magazine approached me to write an article, I was very clear and certain about what I needed to write about.

The initial thought that came to mind was “There is no separation between you and God.”  I have studied all of the worlds prominent religions and all of the messiahs that came to earth, from Bhuddha, Jesus, Allah to Krishna; all said in some form or the other that not only are we all One, but we are also One with the Divine. 

One of the worlds greatest poets that ever lived, William Blake, once said

To See a World in a grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.”

 

What if I said to you that not only are you in the Universe, but the Universe is in you? What if I said to you that not only is the drop in the ocean, but the entire ocean exists in the drop.  From all the text I have researched and studied, there is no doubt in my heart that within you lies a force so great and powerful that you cannot imagine, perceive or understand it with the human mind.  There are no adjective words that we can use to describe what this is, inside each and every one of us.  Although there are 2 words that give you a small glimpse into what this is: Love & Truth.

Man’s quest since the beginning of time has been to understand who he is and for that matter where God is.  He has searched lands far away, mountain tops, places of worship, long and deep rivers.  This journey has been unfruitful, up until the time, that that journey turns inwards. It has been said God placed the mystery of who you are inside of you.  God placed himself in you.  So in essence what you have been searching for is Truth; and what is the Truth? The Truth is everything is Love and all else is illusion and that you are nothing but a being of Love & Light.

Many people are uncomfortable with the idea that God is within us and that there is no separation between you and God. People become even more edgy when you tell them, “You are God ”.  We have been brought up to believe that we need to FEAR God or have been told to feel guilty as we are sinners and that we are very bad people. This cannot be true if God is Love. Is there anyone who can argue that God is NOT Love? On that premise, can light and darkness exist in the same room? No. If there is light, there is no darkness, if there is darkness, there is no light. Similarly; where there is Fear, there is no Love and where there is Love, there is no Fear.  The only difference between you and God, is that you do not know that you are God.  Just to be clear here, when I speak of God – I do not mean a physical being with a personality that controls, judges and punishes. I speak of a force of just pure Love & Light. That is it. There is nothing complicated about it.

Without going into detail, quantum physics says that we live in a reality that is non local co-related. What this means is that is there a field that exists that unifies us all and that there is no separation between anything or anybody. This is the “we are all one” philosophy that spirituality has been speaking about.  You see the world without is a reflection of the world within. There is no out there, out there, independent of what is in here! Everything is part of who you are. Think of the entire universe or world as one living organism.  You may see planets separated, or you may see mountains and rivers that exist seemingly independent, but this is not true. Do not be fooled.  They are all connected.  If you still finding it difficult to understand; take a look at your body.  Is your hand separate from you? No. Are you are you hand? No. Can you call your body a “body” without the hand? No. In this example you are the body, but the body is also God. When you look at the body, there is no difference between you and God. All you see is a BODY.

The message that I am giving you here today, is that you are a being of Love, and Love is God & God is Love. At any moment in time, you have a connection to this source or energy. You are never alone in whatever you do. You have God by your side. If God be for you, who can be against you? Take on each task and challenge in your life with absolute certainty and faith, because within you is God. He has never left you, and will never do so. I am telling you this is truth and I know it to be true because I feel the love of God flowing through my body as I write this. 

Stay blessed and remember  to…

Be great always,
