Our Human Purpose is to Realise that GOD-IS.
The experience of God-Self realisation resolves the sense of individual separation with-in the sense of universal relatedness, connection or Oneness. In all traditions there are the appearance of ‘Holy’ people. Holiness implies connection with the Whole Universe, whilst maintaining individual humanity. Essentially these great souls have voluntarily become stripped of their mundane humanity so as to “Self-Realise”, their oneness with the Whole. They have become both “Part and Parcel” of the Universe and the Absolute Source. This connection, communion and final Union with God-Self we shall call here in this book, Yoga.
In spirituality, we can worship God the Father, as transcendent, and God the Mother, as immanent. We also revere and respect the aspects, dharmas, rules, boundaries, maryadas, qualities and principles of Universal Spirituality. And yet the Great Ones, the Incarnations, like Christ and Buddha, did not ask us to worship Them, but rather to follow Them, and do, and overcome, and become, as They did. Their Light and example show us the Way, up the Sushumna, or central Subtle Body into our transcendent God-Self Realisation, that liberates us from suffering and fulfils our Destiny, and God’s Pure Desire. They have shown the Way, but we must choose in our freedom, to follow and make our Ascent.
Christ was fully conscious of, and surrendered to God, when he chose to be crucified, and as such he opened the Way of the Cross up into Heaven for all Humanity, for us to follow Him, up. His Path was to Love God, and to do Gods Will, and also simply to Love, His fellow man. But we do Christ an injustice, and our true Self a dis-service, for us to ask Him to personally save us, because He’s already done that for Humanity. Our opportunity is to follow Christ up into full Christ Consciousness.
Each individual person has sovereignty, Free Will, and is a Universe in their own right. We have the right and the requirement to Evolve and Resurrect and Realise our Self, our Eternal Spirit. Our true Nature is Divine. And as we Realise God, we Serve God’s Highest Purpose. To Know GOD-SELF. We are made in the image of God, to Reflect GOD’s Self to GOD-SELF.
The old adage is that “God helps those that help themselves”. Each individual person is built with a separate Autonomy, Awareness and Agency, and is Absolutely Unique. Our Awareness, Free Will and Uniqueness is to be respected, by us, as it is by God. Let me ask… Are we in any way better off, to admit we were created in original sin? With no capacity to help or save ourselves? At every step in our evolution we have the right to choose, to become, something different, someone better, and higher. Shri Mataji says “If we want to go to Heaven, we can go.”
Far better I say is to achieve the liberation when we surrender, mind and ego, to know and do God’s Will, through Oneness. We become and BE our best by being humble, surrendered and forgiving, but resolute, as Christ and Buddha were. And in the Silence of Pure Awareness and Pure Desire rise up to Touch the very Highest Transcendent Reality, and allow your lower self to be purified and integrated with-in your God-Self.
Our lower, temporary, individual Soul is counter pointed by our Eternal Universal Spirit. The temporary and limited ME of mind and ego are merely stages in our Becoming Spirit. We are to become One with God by assuming and realising we are the Spirit, eternal God-Self, I Am. The Play of the Creation is that God is coming to see, know and enjoy God-Self or Spirit, in us.
We are Seekers of God and the Joy of the entire Creation is that God is Seeking us too. When we surrender even momentarily into the Presence of God the Father / Mother / Source Intelligence we are in truth one within God-Self. By holding our awareness in this Present moment connection we grow. We are being of Service to God. For God desires to See and Know God-Self in us. The Spirit is the Reflection of Universal God-Self, in the individual soul, in you. But you need to raise your Kundalini Energy and Awareness to touch that highest Source, to enter into a New Awareness of Universal Pure Knowledge, and Become the Spirit.
When inscriptions on the temples say “Know Thy Self” they refer to our God-Self. The great scriptures say “Be Still and Know that I Am God” they mean we are That. We are to Realise that I am not separated from God, but that God is one with our eternal Spirit.
God is right here, right now. God is appearing as us, in us, for this eternal Play. Now. Again let us say and know, as we follow Christ and Buddha in transcending our temporal soul-self, that you too may come to say… I and my Father are One … because in Truth the only part of us that is eternal is Spirit. Spirit is the reality and reflection of GOD in us. – GOD IS.
Our purpose, our evolution, our teleology, our destiny is to “Become the Spirit, to Realise our God-Self”
As we touch the God-Self in us we integrate and transcend our individual soul dimensions. As we Become the Spirit, we transcend Doubt and Separation in “Nirvikalpa”. As we reach the Absolute, all sense of duality is integrated, and then transcended, and then we can Realise God Is – I Am. That is Our Purpose.
Our Purpose however entails that you first confirm and co-create your self as an ‘Individual’, unique, a part immersed in a transitory body, to be born, and to die, and to resurrect. Its a very personal journey, that we have incarnated as a Human Being, and one that we have been through many times. We are both Part and Parcel. Both individual and Universal. What a tremendous thing. God Is. I Am.
I was advised to share something of my life story in the next Personals section, but you are quite at liberty to jump that part of the book. The best of my story I would say is my poetry, see Poems.
