A RESOURCE FOR THE AWAKENING HUMAN: OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOURCE, PART 2
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOURCE, PART 2
Having laid out my perspective on the old, fraudulent God concept in the first entry of this series, I'll now go on to explain how I approached what I currently view as the correct concept. For simplicity's sake, I will mostly use the term "God" for Source (since it's the term most familiar to those who are newly awakening), but just mentally edit in whatever term you prefer as you read. I will also use the pronoun "him" when referring to God (but only because English lacks a good gender-neutral singular pronoun). With the grammar notices now out of the way, let's get to thinking about our relationship to God. 
Is there anyone here but me?...
Since I was raised to be a left-brained person, I approached the understanding of my relationship to Source in a left-brain kind of way. I set aside all the dry, academic external arguments about God and started fresh with a few statements about him and myself that rang true in the center of my being. The first statement was...
The only thing that truly exists is God.
This is not something I can scientifically prove is true, yet when I say it to myself, I instinctively know it’s true. God is the fundamental reality from which all other realities spring; the fundamental beingness from which all beings spring.
I continued on with this statement...
I truly exist.
Philosophers can endlessly chase their tails with esoteric arguments about the nature of existence, but I feel no need to ignore what I already KNOW. I exist. The mere fact that I can debate my own existence is proof enough of it. After all, how could I even think about it if I don’t?
Putting the two statements together, if
The only thing that truly exists is God,
and
I truly exist,
then
I must be God.
So, who am I? I am God.
With this point established, I took a look at myself. Do I see myself as the all-knowing, all-powerful Source of All That Is? Nope, so there must be more to Source than just Ken the human. This made me ponder another statement about God which I instinctively know to be true...
God is an unlimited being.
Looking again at Ken the human, I also noted...
I am a limited being.
So, if
God is an unlimited being,
and
I am God,
but
I am a limited being,
it follows that
I am not the whole of God;
I am just a piece of him.
So, who am I? I am a limited piece of an unlimited God. I am the smaller part of him and he is the larger part of me. We are One.
In the times before I made this realization, I'd probably encountered this truth a hundred times or more, only to ignore it as "blasphemy" or an absurdity. To really get it, I had to get past the fear instilled by my religious programming and think it through for myself.
If you are among the newly awakening, it may seem like an odd idea to think you are God, but how could it be otherwise? If we accept that God is a being of infinite, unlimited consciousness, and if we accept that we are beings of consciousness, then we must be a part of God. After all, if your consciousness is not part of God's consciousness, then God isn't unlimited (because he wouldn't exist in the space you inhabit). Just like the mathematical concept of infinity includes every number, God's infinite beingness encompasses every being.
The reality is WE ARE GOD, or to be more precise, pieces of God. We are God experiencing being myriad souls. We are God experiencing the idea that is this universe. We are God experiencing physical existence. We are God experiencing limitation. We are God experiencing forgetfulness. We are God experiencing adversity. And we are God experiencing the wrenchings of pain and pleasure.
Since we are experiencing the concept of being limited and imperfect, and since we see those imperfections in ourselves and others, it is hard for us to associate ourselves with our idea of a perfect God. But our behavior is how God behaves when he lives under the limitations we are living under.
All this being said, what are the mechanics by which Source differentiates itself into all the beings and realities of Creation? That is the subject I will cover in Part 3 of this series.
Till then, much love....

Read Joel Goldsmith.
He answers all your quandries(sp).
He did this in the 1950's. Way ahead of his time.
He said: "There is never a conflict with person or condition, but rather a false concept mentally entertained 'about' person, thing, circustance, or condition. therefore, make the correction within yourself, rather than attempting to change anyone or anything in the without!
Which of Joel's books would you recommend?
Nope. False logic. False premises. Assumptions. False conclusions.
Aren't we tired of this yet?
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:'" -Isaiah 46:9,10
Just wanted to get a message to Ken....Ken would just like to say that your writing about the OPPT is hilarious....seriously?...."her" hog? Perhaps if you had taken the time to do your research you wouldn't look like such a fool to those of us that are watching ALL OF YOU and not just THE ONE PEOPLE. Just for shits and giggles what would you have worn into the desert? Is this an example of your redefining GOD? If so, you can keep it! The one thing with Heather is it's ALWAYS love and NEVER judgement...perhaps that's why what she has to say resonates so deeply within her followers. You're just spewing more of the same old same old JUDGEMENT as if by some chance you have all the answers!! Well based on what I've read you have nothing to offer anyone when you can't even get out of your own way. Talk about disinfo!!
If you want to get a message to Ken, his email address is right on his website. That you chose to address the subject here shows that you are publicly shilling. As for the entry you're referencing, here it is for those who want to judge truth for themselves: http://blog.redefininggod.com/2013/06/22/the-symbology-of-the-one-peoples-public-trust.aspx
P.S. It's not about what she was wearing.
"Nope. False logic. False premises. Assumptions. False conclusions." You just defined the Bible. If you look to the history of your "holy" book, you will see who was really behind it and what their agenda is for all of us.
