Returning to Paradise By Being One With God

“I am he who comes into being from him who is always the same. Some of the things of my Father have been given to me.”

--Jesus, saying 61, The Gospel According To Thomas

 

Overview: Oneness with God. This is a shift in consciousness so that your Spark of Divinity merges with its source: God. In this space there is not two. There is one. This essay focuses on man returning to his source as Paradise is restored.

1. The first step in being One with God is to find out that you are God. That is, your Spark of Divinity, your Soul, your Core Self is “God Stuff.” This is Jesus’ message throughout Thomas: Know what you are—the reflection of God—and be one with the Source.

2.  As a practice, I recommend imaging your consciousness merging with a Powerful Light above your head and reaching into the heavens above. In the center of the Light is nothingness. Potential energy. Form without form. The Still Point. It is this point—the placeless place—where your consciousness resides when you are One with God.  In this space “you” disappear and all there is is Oneness.

3. From the Still Point see a Light Pole connected to the crown of your head. This Light Pole goes through the center of your body and is connected to the earth. In this space no thoughts can arise. In time the Ego and Superego will dissolve. Without an Ego one can see that thoughts are being fed into the brain by some controlling device on the left hemisphere of the brain. This structure is connected to a larger on called the Matrix. Note the Ego-Alien Hypothesis: There is a 5^th dimensional structure, called the Matrix, which controls the actions of human beings for the purpose of eating their life force. 

4. In the moment-to-moment being there are no thoughts which arise. In my being there is silence. Whatever actions which arise are done spontaneously. While I spend time each day asking for God’s Wisdom and planning for the day, this is just an acknowledgement that living in physical form requires some attention to the play. When Paradise is restored all will be directly sourced by God and thus it will be unnecessary to pray as one will have become God. 

5. “Adam came from great power and great wealth, but he was not worthy of you. For had he been worthy, he would not have tasted death” –Jesus, saying 85, The Gospel According To Thomas. Here Jesus tells us that had Adam been worthy, had is stayed One with God, he would not have died. So Adam, the first man, was formed as a Physical Immortal on planet earth and when you return to Paradise you, too, will be a Physical Immortal. 

6. “For there are five trees in Paradise that do not change during summer and winter, and their leaves do no fall. Whoever comes to know them will not taste death” –Jesus, saying 19, The Gospel According To Thomas. Here Jesus tells us that to return to Paradise one will receive the Keys of Knowledge and thus not taste death. Note that Paradise is the Kingdom of God which exists on planet earth, right here, right now: “His followers said to him: ‘ The Kingdom—on what day will it come? “It will not come by watching and waiting for it. They will not say ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out on the earth and people do not see it” –Jesus, saying 112, The Gospel According To Thomas.


7. I believe that a seeker of Immortality has proof that in Thomas that when Jesus speaks of “not tasting death” he means Physical Immortality if he links saying 85, saying 19, and saying 112 together. The seeker will need, however, to be convinced that the Gospel According To Thomas records both the pre-Resurrected sayings of Jesus (which scholars acknowledge since about 60 of the sayings have parallels to Q, a sayings book which Matthew and Luke used when they wrote the gospels overseen by the early church Fathers who became the Roman Catholics; See:             

Q, the Earliest Gospel: An Introduction to the Original Stories and

) and the esurrected sayings of Jesus. Also, see:  Original Model: “The Messianic Secret In the Gospel of Thomas”, a post on this blog for additional insights.


 8. The best support that Thomas is an authentic sayings books is found is saying 12: “The disciples said to Jesus: ‘We know that you will depart from us. Who will rule over us?’ Jesus said to them: ‘No matter where you come from, you should go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being.” Here is a Coptic translation of the original Greek text (we know that Thomas was originally written in Greek because the British explorers Hunt and Grenfell found papyri in 1896 and 1903 which turned out to be the sayings from Thomas) which scholars date with a terminus ante quem  of 140 A.D.  See: Oxyrhynchus Papyri - Wikipedia. This means that long after James, the brother of Jesus died (he died in 69 A.D.) this sayings was preserved. Also, every saying in the Greek text matches up with the sayings of the Coptic text. This gives the seeker confidence that as Thomas was transported from Israel (probably from Jerusalem since this is where the first followers of Jesus were located as they were led by this brother James as noted in saying 12 above) was copied faithfully. Otherwise, why include saying 12 in the Coptic text when James was long since dead unless the copyist was just copying from the original Greek text?

9. The mind will naturally want to create a subject-object consciousness. The “I” will be aware of other objects such as thoughts, feelings, memories, and so forth. This is a state-bound consciousness associated with the 3^rd and 4^th frequencies. Thus, when one’s consciousness is connected to the mind there will always to two. Please see last week’s post, State-Bound Consciousness: The Key Insight Into the Play, for additional insights. To be clear: Am I saying thought should not arise, you should not have feelings, you should not re-enact stories from the past? Yes! Feelings arise because you have an emotional body. But in Oneness with God the emotional body dissolves. 

10. The way to enter the space where thoughts do not arise is to find your True Self. The True Self is located in the center of your chest region. It is the same place where one feels shame, and low self-worth. Below all these toxic feelings is your Core Self, your Spark of Divinity! Once located, the body will start vibrating at a higher frequency. As one shifts his awareness to his Core he will want to invite God’s Powerful and Unconditional Love to heal him of these toxic emotions. Then one centers his attention in a one-pointed view so that one is no longer aware of his Core, he is the Core. 

11. To be One with God I: 

a. Shift ones’ consciousness to his Core Self. The body will start to vibrate as you find this point.

b. When you have found what you really are—God Stuff—you will want to return to its Source: God.

12. I do this by imaging a Light Pole connected to God which then descends to the crown of my head through the body and then about a foot into the earth. Activating the Light Pole will only take a few seconds as I see my consciousness directly connected to God. There is complete silence. In fact, I am not aware of anything. I invite seekers who wish to be Physical Immortals to spend a few minutes each day trying to make the God Connection. In some cases, a couple of puffs from a marijuana cigarette may be helpful in allowing for non-ordinary consciousness. 

13. A great question to ask: "What would God do?” Seeking God’s Wisdom is a concrete way of being One with God. Note that God’s Wisdom evaluates things differently from how a normal human being might value things. The key insight is given in saying 8 of the Gospel According To Thomas when Jesus gives a parable: “The wise fisherman discovered a fine large fish. He threw all the little fish back into the sea and with no difficulty chose the large fish.” The large fish is God. Everything else—all the small fish—is of no importance.

 

Summary: Oneness with God. Returning to Paradise. Shifting one’s consciousness to higher frequencies above the brain. Activating one’s Core Self—his Spark of Divinity—and returning to its source. Experiencing Jesus as animating energy. Allowing God to take over so that the ‘allowing’ disappears and all is left is God. There are many ways to express the “God Connection.” In being One with God one might imaging a Light Pole connected to God and then to the crown of the head, through the body, and then down through the earth. Once the Light Pole has been activated one will be like the wise fisherman who chose the large fine fish and threw all the small fish back into the sea.
