God is absolute good, everywhere present. There is no opposing power in the universe, only God. If there is only God in the universe, then we are expressions of God. I'm listening to a podcast of a Unity Church of Fort Worth sermon from several weeks. I'm finally understanding on a human level what Oneness really means. It's not that we are one bride of the church, but one consciousness with God. There's such a vast difference in the meanings. It amazes me how much I already understand, yet how little.
Rev. Roach is saying that when we were kids and were taught that God is this old man with a long flowing white beard sitting on a throne int he clouds, that we were being taught that God is outside of ourselves. It is kind of limiting on how close you can feel to a creator who is so high above you, not just figuratively but also literally. When you think of how God is in everything, he sees everything, he knows everything, he is always, then in my mind for as long as I can remember the concept of a divine creator, I've always wondered, "if He is so far up there, and out of reach, then how much can he care about little ole me?" The truth of the matter is, He isn't anywhere, he isn't in any space and time. To say that limits his omnipotence. God is We. We are in all things, at all times, in all space. The God consciousness that we are born with comes to light in the darkest of hours. God is good, God is great. We are good, We are great.
"Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web."
- Marcus Aurelius
