Denying God - a primer

It was thought that saying “I am God” is blasphemy. I tell you, to say “I am not God” is blasphemy. When you say “I am not God,” you deny God His omnipresence. 

You are made up of love. If you say “I am not God,” you are denying that God is love. If you are love and you say “I am not God,” you are saying God is not love, and that is blasphemy. 

“I am” is your consciousness. If you say “I am not God,” you deny that God is aware, alert and awake. You exist. When you say “I am not God,” you deny God a portion of existence and that is blasphemy. You are denying the scriptures that say “God made man in His own image.” If you say “I am not God,” you are denying God. 

Now if God is omnipresent, why is there hatred and suffering in this world? Just as in a movie, when light passes through the film, it does not matter to the light what the film portrays, in the Absolute there are no opposites. 

Tragedy or comedy, hero or villain, the light is always there. All opposites are part of relative existence. Relative existence is not the complete picture. Good and bad, right and wrong, everything is relative. Milk is good, but too much milk can kill you. A drop of poison can save a life, but most medicines are poisonous if taken in the wrong dose. These are neither absolutely good nor bad; they just are. 

Truth transcends duality, and God is the absolute and only truth. In the same way, no matter what is happening in your mind, you are God.

Are you God?

I up a pistachio nut and asked, “What is this?” Everybody said, “A pistachio.” 

I held up a pistachio nut without the shell and asked, “What is this?” Everybody said, “A pistachio.” 

I then held up the shell and asked, “What is this?” Everybody said, “A shell.” 

As the nut with or without the shell is pistachio, similarly, spirit with or without the body is God. But just as the shell without the nut is not a pistachio, the body without spirit is not God. 

Spirit is certainly God because it is present everywhere. The body is certainly not God because it is not present everywhere. God is within the body and God embodies the whole universe. 

Those who have eyes will see. When asked, “Are you God?” to whom is the question addressed? As it is only the spirit that answers, one has no choice but to say, “Yes!”

A lady one told me, “I want an honest and humble man in my life.” Now, I am neither honest nor humble! I cannot tell everyone that I am God, as not everyone will understand. So I am not honest. I am not humble – how can God be humble? If I am humble, I am not honest. If I am honest, I cannot be humble.
