God — and Us
God is not at all an invisible flying person, as some primitive religious sects often depict Him. God is a Universal Ocean of Consciousness. What size is He? Can we imagine the distance of one light year? This is an astronomical space measure equal to the distance that light covers in one year in earthly time measures. Astronomers discovered cosmic objects located at a distance of billions of light years. But God is still larger, for the universe is infinite. He is infinitely large.
Whatever large we consider our planet to be, when we walk, tired, across its surface or fly around it, Earth is negligibly small compared to the Greatness of the Ocean of the God’s Consciousness.
Earth is just one of the countless islets of matter, created by Him within the Ocean. Here on Earth, as on many other planets in the universe, the conditions, favorable for life and evolution of organic bodies, developed. It is in the bodies of plants, animals, and humans that the evolution of the Universal Consciousness takes place. Every one of us, people, is a lump of energy of consciousness, which has gone through the stages of its evolution that took place in the bodies of plants and animals and at the present human stage has to make vigorous efforts on self-perfection.
We should try hard to become worthy and capable of “plunging” into the Abode of the Creator and of merging with Him. Then we will attain the ultimate Peace in the Supreme Bliss of Eternal Oneness with Him, of Being Him.
He has been reminding us about this goal over and over again by incarnating parts of Himself into the bodies of Avatars (Messiahs, Christs). But the majority of people have always been unable to comprehend this Truth and to keep it in memory. They always tend to forget about, distort, and pervert the Teachings of God that He grants to us. This is how various religious sects emerge.
… The lifetime of each planet — of that “islet” of matter in the infinite Ocean of God — is limited to a certain period of time. When this period ends the “islet” experiences its individual end of the world. Those consciousnesses (souls) that failed to reach the Union with God or at least to approach Him closely enough by that time get destroyed, disintegrated. But those who have attained the state of Mergence enrich Him with themselves, thus they completely realize the meaning of their lives and their love for God in Mergence with Him.
