(Click for Audio: The Paradigm of Oneness)
The key to understanding the logic behind any religion is found in understanding that religion’s view of the nature of God, the nature of the individual, and the nature of the relationship between God and the individual. Those who view God as something separate from the individual operate from a paradigm of separation. Those who view God and the individual as one, operate from a paradigm of oneness.
Unity thought is based on the paradigm of oneness. Rather than thinking of God as a human-like figure who resides in the sky, we recognize God as omnipresent life, love, power, and intelligence individualized in and as each one of us. The presence of God does not ebb and flow, give and withhold, or act in love one moment and in anger or vengeance another.
People often wonder why God seems to ignore human suffering. This question arises when we attempt to give God human characteristics. One moment it seems that God is offering a helping hand, the next moment He is turning His back on those in need. The understanding of God as omnipresence means God is changeless and completely accessible to all people at all times. “Every good endowment and cialis slvhabitat.org every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” (James 1:17).
Think of a bright, sun-filled day. One person is out enjoying the sun while another hides away in a dark and musty cellar. We would not accuse the sun of giving its enlivening rays to one and withholding them from the other. We understand that the relationship a person has with the same sun is determined by the choices each are making. God is equally present to all people. One who believes they have offended or angered God places themselves in a dark cellar of belief. In that “cellar” of negative thought they can beg and beseech God to forgive them, but they are only being punished by their own false belief.
Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, the fullness of God is present. If you need guidance, affirm that the guiding intelligence of God is now opening the way for you. If you need healing, affirm the healing life of God is now manifest in your mind and body. If you feel a lack of love in your life, affirm that the presence of God as love is now pouring through every aspect of your life. If you feel powerless in the face of overwhelming conditions, affirm the infinite power of God is working through you now to establish conditions of abundance and greater good of all kinds.
You are now one with God. Expand your awareness of this oneness by affirming that God, your present help and precio de kamagra austria infinite resource, is radiating through you right now, in everything that concerns you.
