ON GOD AND ME

GOD, the FATHER, was before all other.
GOD, the FATHER, is revealed to me thru GOD, the SON.
The SPIRIT of the FATHER is THAT which gives me LIFE.

"The ONE became TWO.
The TWO became THREE.
The THREE is the SOURCE of ALL THINGS.

The THREE is ONE in NUMBER, but ALL THINGS in their manifestations."

"There are two kinds of wisdom: HIGHER WISDOM, which is beyond words and explanation, and LOWER WISDOM of the realm of THINGS."

The lower wisdom allows us to know of the creation by means of definition and grammar, speaking and poetry, ritual and the signs of heaven. Definition (the naming of THINGS) necessitates grammar for orderly arrangement. Speaking of THINGS requires a certain amount of poetry to make it appealing. Ritual is the ACTIONS which we go thru in expression of the LAWS OF NATURE revealed in the interdependence of ALL THINGS.

Higher wisdom leads to the ETERNAL, that is the ONE, the Father, the Creator. He is beyond thought and sight, beyond THINGS and the ESSENCE OF THINGS. HE has neither eyes nor ears; HE has neither hands nor feet. HE is everlasting and omnipresent, infinite in the greatest expanse of space we can imagine and infinite in the smallest particle we can imagine. HE is the ETERNAL who is the source of all creation.

"JUST AS CREAM ARISES FROM THE MILK, SO THE CREATION ARISES FROM THE FATHER."

"In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth."

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. ALL THINGS were made by Him and without Him was not ANYTHING made that was made."

"And the SPIRIT of GOD moved upon the face of the deep."

THESE THREE ARE ONE, and from ONE comes the Mind; primeval matter; and from primeval matter comes the Elements, and the Worlds, and Natural Life; and the immortality of Ritual Action: all according to His DESIGN.

But RITUAL ACTION cannot lead us to the ONE, the FATHER.

"Unsafe are the boats of sacrific to go to the farthest shore; unsafe are the Books where the lower actions are explained. The unwise who praise them as the highest end go to old age and death...."

"Abiding in the midst of ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and learned, fools aimlessly go hither and thither, like blind led by the blind."

"Clouds of passion conceal to the the Beyond, and sad is their fall when the reward of their pious actions has been enjoyed."

"Imagining religious ritual and gifts of charity as the final good, the unwise see not the PATH SUPREME. In truth, they will have the reward of their pious actions, but will, in the end, fail to reach their goal.

"That which a man soweth, so shall he reap."

If he sow to corruption, corruption he will reap. But, if he sow to life eternal, that shall he reap.

Those who have faith in a pure heart dwell in solitude (but not alone) in this world; who have wisdom and peace (not necessarily knowledge and no sufferings), and do not seek after the material possessions of this world: THOSE will pass from the death of this world into life everlasting in the realms of GOD, the Eternal.

ONENESS WITH THE FATHER CANNOT BE ATTAINED BY ACTIONS.

"As from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to Him return again."
