Don't you know yet, that you are born of God and the
Son of the One, as I AM?

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; One Lord, one faith, one baptism; One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6

What is God, the Father, and the (Greatest) GOOD, but the Being of all things that yet are not, and the existence itself, of all those things that are!

This is the reason why: No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son (The Christ = Your Higher Self - that 'I AM'), who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side...
John 1:18

God can't be seen with the body's eye, we should dismiss the sense of sight.
Open the eye of the mind to behold the incorruptible, and incomprehensible Beauty that is the Goodness of God.
You may perceive it when you have nothing to say or think of it.

For the knowledge of God, is Divine Silence, and the stillness of the senses.
For him who understands, he can understand nothing else, for him who sees, he can see nothing else, for him who hears, can hear nothing else, nor have body in motion. (Be still, and know, that I AM God. Psalm 46:10)

But Shinning firmly, with the whole mind enlightening the soul, freeing it from the bodily senses and movements, it draws the body, changing and merging it wholly into the Essence of God.

For it is possible for the soul, to be deified while still seemingly trapped in the flesh, if it but contemplates the Beauty of God.

Piety can be said to be the knowledge of God, and whomever truly KNOWS, is Full of GOODness, and has UNDERSTANDING like handful of people throughout the ages.

Those who have KNOWLEDGE can't please the masses, nor can masses please them, they are hated by the world, they seem crazy, are laughted at, hated and dispised, and often murdered.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. 1 John 2:12-15

The soul, being in the body and the world, if it does evil and loves the body and the world, it will not taste of immortality nor partake of Goodness of God. Ignorance is the wickedness of the soul, for the souls that has no knowledge of the things that are, nor knows the nature of things, nor understands the Goodness of God, is blinded by material illusions, passions and desires, is unhappy and miserable, not knowing itself, it serves ussles passing things, carrying its own body as a burden, hell of a house, not ruling but being ruled - this is the meaning of SIN.

On the contrary, virtue and holiuess of soul is knowledge, for he that knows the truth of the soul lives in light, and is both good, "religious" and already Divine. He is the one who is of ONE Mind, unlike "sinner", who is double minded, man of single/silent/still mind hears the voice of God from within His own heart, but the wicked hears the nagging voice of ego within his own mind. If you listen to the voice of ego(devil) you cannot hear the voice for God, hence it is said; "a double-minded man, is unstable in all his ways.

" (James 1:8) and "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

(James 4:8)

Hence Jesus teaches through the ACIM:

The "one mind" or "one mindedness" is the mind of the soul in total union with all of creation.

The "right mind" or "right mindedness" is the same as miracle mindedness, the Holy Spirit's mind of atonement, a state of true perception, and the end of the dream.

The "wrong mind" or "wrong mindedness" is the same as false perception or various states of denial within perception.

"The ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the mind, which IS real, that it IS its own learning device, and that the learning device is more real than IT is. No-one in his right mind could POSSIBLY believe this, and no-one in his right mind DOES believe it. "

"Only One-Mindedness is without confusion. A separate, or divided, mind MUST be confused. A divided mind is uncertain by definition. It HAS to be in conflict because it is out of accord with itself. "

"Punishment as a concept is in total opposition to Right-Mindedness. The aim of the Final Judgment is to RESTORE Right-Mindedness TO man. "

One of most powerful ways to be restored to true sanity and to discover your True Self can be found in the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi:

Knowing the Self means being the Self.

Self-enquiry is not the mind's inspection of its own contents. It is tracing the mind's first mode, the "I"-thought, to its Source which is the Self. The very purpose of Self-enquiry is to focus the entire mind on its Source. Let go the passing thoughts and hold on to the unchanging Self.

Attention to one's own Self, which is ever shining as "I", the one undivided and pure Reality, is the only raft with which the individual, who is deluded by thinking "I am the body", can cross the ocean of unending births.

Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity, it will automatically vanish and Reality will shine forth by itself. This is the direct method, whereas all other methods are done only by retaining the ego. In those paths there arise so many doubts and the eternal question "Who am I?" remains to be tackled finally. But in this method the final question is the only one and it is raised from the beginning. No spiritual practices are necessary for engaging in this quest.

Joy and pain are the attributes of the ego. When, by Self-enquiry, you realise that you are not that sheath [the ego], where is the pleasure or pain for you? Your real nature transcends all such feelings. So the benefit of Self-enquiry is tangible in the shape of escape from all the ills and sorrows of life. What more could one want? One who is always stationed in the Self will not be disturbed, even in the midst of a crowd. Such a one has no need or desire for solitude.

When thoughts arise, one should not pursue them, but should enquire: "To whom do they arise?" It does not matter how many thoughts arise. As each thought arises, one should enquire with diligence, "To whom has this thought arisen?" The answer that would emerge would be "To me." Thereupon if one enquires "Who am I?", the mind will go back to its Source; and the thought that arose will become quiescent. With repeated practice in this manner, the mind will develop the skill to stay in its Source. When the mind that is subtle goes out through the brain and the sense-organs, the gross names and forms appear; when it stays in the Heart, the names and forms disappear. Not letting the mind go out, but retaining it in the Heart is what is called "inwardness". Letting the mind go out of the Heart is known as "externalisation". Thus, when the mind stays in the Heart, the "I" which is the source of all thoughts will go, and the Self which ever exists will shine. Whatever one does, one should do without the egoity "I". If one acts in that way, all will appear as of the nature of Shiva [God].

The result of Self-enquiry is the cure for all sorrows. It is the highest of all results. Self-enquiry itself is most meritorious and purifying.

Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self: so why not abide in the Self here and now? To be a spectator of, or to speculate about the other world, the Self is necessary; therefore, they are not different from the Self. Even the ignorant man when he sees the objects, sees only the Self.

Love & Light,
