In the beginning was the spirit of God. The still I am, essence of consciousness.

Void of form and shape, yet filled with infinite possibilities. the spirit of God was all that is. And all that is desired to know itself through its own experience.

At first, it looked outside of itself, for something else with which it might be compared.Searching for some external point of reference, with which it could interact. but there was nothing else,because it was all that is. So instead looking outside of itself for a point of reference, all that is did the only thing it could do in order to create and gain experience.All that is began to look within, which is not a bad idea for anyone who desires self-awareness. From within its own essence, it nearly imploded,figuratively turning itself inside-out – vibrating the first creative thought. From within its own self it vibrated the light of all creation. And like a kaleidoscope it burst forth revealing its infinite parts. each lacing forth in joy and love; expressing themselves in beautiful dance of life in the universe.

From absolute oneness the illusion of relativity and separation was created. Where there was only seamless unity suddenly emerged that which could both be here and there, that which could be both up and down, and that which could be both far and near. In an effort to fully experience what it means to be I am, the One became the many, with each of Gods many parts temporarily forgetting their true identity as a whole, so that each could then witness the beauty of God in its entirety. By submitting the part of itself to the illusion of duality, all that is could interact with itself to create and to gain experience. For this reason, whatever you are doing to another, you are literally doing to God, and if you stop to recognize the unique beauty within yourself, within another person or the beauty of all that is around you, you are fulfilling the purpose of your souls creation.

The spirit and intelligence of God permeates, unites and comprises every particle of creation and all of its infinite forms. Each star and planet within the universe, every mineral, every plant and every form of life is a manifestation of God’s own creative spirit. God and the universe are not two separate entities. Because God exists within every particle of the universe, God has the ability to control the elements, and take on any form physical or non-physical in order to communicate with us. From mortal perspective, God may even appear to defy the laws of physics by apparently moving faster than the speed of light. If He so desires He could organize matter and create for himself a physical form in the one corner of the universe, then seemingly at the speed of thought create for Herself a similar or an even different form in the other corner of the universe. The reason She can do this is because the entire universe is a part of Him.

This understanding is what many mortals fail to comprehend. Nothing exists outside of, or separate from God. Although God can create for Herself a physical in which He can manifest himself to human kind, His true nature is not confined or limited to any particular form or shape. In an attempt to comprehend God, many people often humanize the ineffable to the point where God’s true nature becomes obscured and goes unrealized. God is aware of such things as a number of hairs on your head, the fall of a sparrow, and even every thought you think precisely because all matter and energy are a part of Her. God perceives, feels and experiences through every particle of creation. When a part of God that is you suffers or experiences joy, God is literally experiencing the same joys and sorrows inside of you. This is why the God is said to know your every thought and desire. From the moment of your physical birth you might have believed the illusion of time and space by thinking that you are somehow a separate entity from God and the rest of the universe. But this sense of separation is an illusion created through the physical senses of your body. It is an illusion that we participate in so that we can experience and interact with the rest of creation. You are not nor can be ever separate from God.

He is now seeing through your eyes as you see, He is experiencing through your physical senses as you experience. Your physical body is literally a part of Her physical body – the universe. It is literally the light of His spirit that vibrates and fills your soul. You are an extension of Him. God is both the microcosm and the macrocosm; that is what Jesus

was trying to tell us when he said the kingdom of God is within you. God’s spirit resides within you and all around you. This truth was also what Christ was trying to convey when he said: “I’m within the father, and the father is within me.” God does not exist separately from any part of creation, because nothing exists outside of all that is.

God is omnipotent and omniscient simply because of His literal omnipresence. Realising God’s omnipresence is the very key to comprehending Her omnipotence and omniscience. Denying Gods omnipresence or attempting to confine the totality of God’s nature to a three-dimensional personage of flesh and bone, prevents you to experience God in His entirety. This limited perspective also prevents you of realizing the deeper connection we each have with God. The spirit and energy that permeates throughout the entire universe manifesting itself as all that you see around you

receives the thoughts, feelings and sense impressions of everything within creation. for this reason, the same universal force that flows through your own physical body and soul also contains within its essence the presence of every other particle of the cosmos. Quantum physics has revealed to the modern world that all sub-atomic particles are actually the waves of quanta or light which spread themselves throughout the universe without beginning and without end. Because true nature of all energy and matter is light, your own presence can be found floating and vibrating within all the various forms that compose the creation.

Within this spirit, or universal energy that flows throughout all things, the essence that is you permeates throughout the fabric of the entire universe. And all of the universe likewise lives in you. It is this connection which makes intuition and all psychic connections such as ESP possible. In Hindu scripture it was written when Krishna was a small child his mother looked within his mouth and beheld the entire universe within him. Because we are each a vibrational manifestation of the spirit which flows through all things, the universe in its entirety does indeed live within each of us. Likewise, all of our

thoughts, our actions, our desires and everything we create, permeates through the entire fabric of creation around us.

Close your eyes, open your heart and breathe in deeply, paying close attention to each breath flowing in

and out of your nostrils. If you remain open and still, you can feel the presence of all that is, permeating throughout your body with every breath you take. This universal presence is your true self. And it can be found coursing through

every part of the cosmos. As you practice this meditation daily, your spiritual intuition will open more fully. You will also understand what it means in the scriptures to be still and know that I am God”. Just as the same water permeates

and gives form to every wave upon the ocean surface, the same universal spirit permeates and gives form to every part of creation. Look beyond the fleeting surface of form and shape, penetrate you awareness to that essence of who you are using the ocean and its waves as an analogy.

Know yourself as the water, and not a fleeting wave.

Peace and love to you all.
