God Is That "WE ARE ONE" in the Human Consciousness

Reverend, Stop It.  This, Is the Truth About God

Jesus, Guanyin(the Bodhisattva of Compassion), Matsu (the Sea Goddess)......

Do you know that these names are actually more about the  "Names of the Institutions" that are serving you. 

Any dispute over the names of the institutions is ignoring the real "service" they are offering. 

Then what is the True God? 

The answer may leave many scratching their heads because the True God also includes people themselves.

Here is a message very touching to me, quoted from "Journey Home" (Business Weekly Publishing), which most perfectly explains what God is.  

If you cannot agree more after reading this article, please tell those around you not only that......God is within you! 

But also that HE be The Only One that blesses us all in human history, and that Without A Second^^

"God Is That "WE ARE ONE" in the Human Consciousness"

What is "God" as we know it? 

Here we will give the answer, closest to the truth in fact , to smooth away all disputes:

God is that "WE ARE ONE" in the human consciousness.

You say you are a Chinese; he says he is an American; but we are all humans.

You say you are a human; whales are animals; but we are all living entities, all parts of the Earth.

You say you are a living entity of the Earth; he says he is an extraterrestrial; but we are all parts of the universe.

In such a way, achieving a oneness after another oneness, is the true meaning of Consciousness Expansion.

If you agree that God is the existence that leads you to sober up and awaken, then you cannot disagree that the only thing that can truly awaken human beings and correct all wrongs is the awareness that "WE ARE ONE".

In the human consciousness, the world is a world with God, who, however, does not have any particular image of attachment. The world of God in the human consciousness is the part that will lead you to sober up and awaken.

God is not a great being separated from you, but a collection that encompasses all human beings and all living entities. For example, your parents, your deceased ancestors, and those from the future, they all have love, they all let us be loved, and they all will continue to love. Although many of them are formless, they can still look after you.  Therefore, love has no life and no death; this is "God".

Do you remember the wonder and immensity when you first experienced the internet world ? Why are there so many things at your disposal? How do they come about? Every day, the information on the internet is still expanding at an incredible speed, and what brings about this miracle?

It is each and everyone's "permission to share" a little bit that achieves this monument of “all desires manifested”.

So, why God is there? 

Because you are there.

You have a saying, "Predecessors plant trees, successors cool off in the shade". Now that predecessors cannot enjoy the fruits, why do they need to plant trees? Isn't it due to "love"? This love can constantly take care of future generations, which is the true meaning of "God". It is the selfless devotion of predecessors that achieves what people have now. Even if predecessors have become formless, they do take care of you, which is the reason why we say "God is always there".

Although you can not see your ancestors, but they are still loving you through that "WE ARE ONE" consciousness, they planted trees, wrote books, invented new things...... These are their love for you, and you can get it anytime you want to be loved.

Thus, God is true and real because you are benefiting from everything that is contributed to the clear fact that "you are identified with the ONE", and the "ONE" is God.

Of course, this also includes the words you are reading now, these messages of love, are passed down continuously from generation to generation due to love. In "Dialogues with Buddha" (Note: another book of the same series) we write, "I" do not represent “me”; everything has been accumulated and played by different roles.

Let people know God as He is. Although people often need someone to play a role, God is actually the almighty power that unites all based on Oneness.

Like the "Administrative Yuan", Matsu, God are actually more of the names of the institutions, which is closer to the truth of the spiritual world. In fact, there are countless beings serving you, they may share the same symbol, which is to meet the human needs.

Therefore, if someone asks you to help them distinguish the temple or the group they are to deal with (Is it good or bad?),  though things cannot be judged distinctly, still you can give them the following perspectives:

Bad temples emphasize their ability to turn your misfortune into blessing.  They demand your worship, loyalty and rejection of other religions, or your engagement in the so-called "practice" only for your own greed.

Good temples are telling you: predecessors plant trees; successors cool off in the shade. They want you to think it over.  After you have gratitude and introspection in mind, you will do as God does in daily life; that is, you will devote yourself to others in oneness.

In the past, we used to love each other, but death did not take away anyone.  When we are no longer attached to our egos, we will become that "Oneness" and  continue our loving devotion everywhere.
