ONE

When we speak of the “Multiverse” we are constructing an image by which our minds can Grok the concept of many universes. But in reality there is only ONE universe.

When we speak of souls, or spirits, or the Atman we have constructed an image by which our minds can Grok the concept of multiple souls. But
in reality there is only ONE soul, ONE spirit – the Atman.

When we speak of the gods; the deities; the pantheon; we have constructed an image by which our minds can Grok a being which manifests many aspects; many roles; many functions in life.

In reality there is only ONE G-d, who manifests all aspects; all roles and all functions.

ONE Universe. ONE soul, spirit – the Atman. ONE G-d.

The ONE Universe is the ONE Spirit is the ONE G-d is the ONE.
The ONE is Brahma, is Be’al, is Hashem.

The ONE IS.

You and I and everyone else is a vessel

There is not a single sentient being on any planet anywhere in the multiverse that is not a vessel of the Holy Spirit.

As soon as an infant breathes for the first time, the Holy Spirit (aka, the Soul, aka, the Atman, aka the Self, aka G-d) enters, inhabits and occupies, that infants body and does not leave until that body dis corporates.

To say that any being outside of the womb needs to receive the Holy Spirit is a damnable lie, and denies the all pervasiveness of G-d.

Alas, many people have been deceived by religion into thinking they are separate from G-d, which is impossible.

“Panentheism,” “Advaita Vedanta,” “non dualism,” “the Oneness of the All;” as a Jewish concept

I was video chatting with my brother, Rabbi Eliyahu Gabriel, (he serves a synagogue in Tel Aviv) and we were (as usual) discussing the whole concept of non-duality. I guess I was speaking to him like he was my student instead of my brother.

He finally interrupted me and says, “We Jews have always believed this very thing. Even the idea that nothing exists except G-d. These concepts that you have been teaching all these years are not new to me at all, and I would have to add that you probably subconsciously absorbed them from Hebrew school.”

I was dumbfounded.

I’ve never been more than culturally Jewish, so I mostly didn’t pay attention a whole lot as I was growing up.

Eliyahu went on, “You’ve undoubtedly heard of Spinoza? He was right. The elders of his shul were wrong – not really wrong, but they gravely misunderstood him. The fact is that several schools of Judaism have taught what you call “the Oneness of the All” since even the days of the Holy Temple. The concept is one of the roots of Kabbalah. It’s even expounded upon in the Zohar, in the Mishnah and the Talmud. In fact, the Shema (I assume you recite it every day, as do I?) expresses it. ‘the Lord is ONE.’ I know we don’t express the concept quite the way you do, or the way your Guru’s taught you, but it’s the same thing. The same idea.”

I had to think about this for awhile. And in thinking I stated to meditate. And in meditating I came to a Groking: My brother was right, it’s the same teaching. There are no real differences, and religion is just a name. A label. The truth is deeper than anything that humans can usually grok. But the thread of the truth, whether you call it “panentheism,” “Advaita Vedanta,” “non dualism,” or, as I like to express it, “the Oneness of the All;” whatever way you need to grok the concept, is simple: I am G-d, you are G-d, all that groks is G-d.

Answer to a confused seeker

What you are missing,
and I think this may be the source of your confusion is this:
1)There is only ONE G-D.
2) G-D is all that exists. There is nothing else.

Here’s a story:
A student asked Rabbi, “What happens when we are born?” Rabbi replied, “The ocean becomes a drop.” Then the student asked, “So then, what happens when we die?” Rabbi replied again, “The drop returns to the ocean.”

In this story, the Ocean is G-d. The drop is you and me, and everyone else. Everybody, and everything; all matter and energy comes from G-d. Human kind is unique in that the soul is made in the image and likeness of G-d (not the body – just the soul), the body is not the real you. The body is only a vessel, a conveyance, and a temporary one at that. The soul (aka, spirit; aka, self; aka, (in Hindi) the atman) is your true self. The real you. For lack of a better word, we say that the soul is energy. Science tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. You might say that G-d creates energy, in that G-d creates everything. The soul is made in the image and likeness of G-d. Not just made that way, the soul is G-d. One and the same entity. The ONENESS of the ALL. We know that G-d created all things (and non-things).
Back to our story: The ocean is G-d. The drop returns to the ocean, to G-d. So, the drop is G-d.
THOU ART G-D, I AM G-D, all that groks is G-D. The only true reality is God, all else is illusion.
Namaste!

Call it by any name,

. . . G-d, Self, the Heart, the Soul, the Seat of cosciousness.

it is all the same thing.

The point of it all is this:

The Soul means the very core of ones being,

the center, 

without which there is nothing what so ever.

G-d IS

There is one G-d.

There is only G-d.

G-d is everywhere.

G-d is everything.

G-d is everybody.

G-d is One.

G-d is the All.

G-d is you.

G-d is me.

G-d has always been.

G-d will always be.

Now I am going to get a bit repetitious and maybe redundant. This is a big concept. It is hard to understand, but it is also the most simple and sublime teaching.

G-d is Nature.

G-d is Science.

G-d is knowledge.

G-d is education.

G-d  IS.

Namaste!
