We Are God

We are God, also. We are the creators of our own reality. I am God. You are God. God is in all of us. God is in all things. God is not some bearded entity in heaven that looks down upon us, pulling the strings of our life events, telling us which way to go and what to do and how to live.

The search for defining God has been a major focus since the beginning of recorded history. The consistent theme throughout has been that God was an entity outside of our selves that had control over every facet of nature and of human behavior.

Aboriginal cultures among others would assign a multiple of gods, each one in control of an aspect such as the wind, the sun, the water and so on. Yet all seemed to have had the concept of one supreme being or great spirit that would oversee all of creation.

One of the earliest uses of the one God concept was approximately 1500 B.C. when the Pharaoh Akhenaten united the Upper and Lower Nile Egyptians who worshipped a myriad of gods. Akhenaten outlawed the practice of polytheism, replacing it with the concept of monotheism. He used the image of the sun as God because he told them that the breath of life, the prana field, came from the sun. He was much hated by the priesthood of Egypt as they lost their power over the people by introducing this concept. Akhanaten told his people that "You don't need priests. God is within you." A concept way before its time and one that lasted a mere 17 years before the priests and the military poisoned him and reverted back to the worshipping of many gods.

The idea of one god was then revived by Abraham who is considered the father of monotheism. The experiences of Abraham are well documented in both the Torah and the Christian bibles but also the Holy Qua ran makes mention of the God of Abraham being the same as the God of Muhammad. Hinduism when examined also has Abraham's son Isaac as a source for their belief in the unity of the "one."

To this day religions are based on the idea of "one god" that is outside of us and that controls all things. The thought of us being God also is viewed as blasphemy in most religious doctrine today as that concept, if believed by its followers, would negate the power and control that is exercised by the various churches over us now. Sound similar to the priests of Egypt's attitude?

2000-2500 years ago Masters came onto earth for one purpose. To help us understand that God is indeed within us. Jesus, Lord Buddha and Muhammad, who basically covered all the peoples of the earth, gave us many similar messages of self-empowerment that told us that we were God. Organized religions have chosen to downplay these messages or to interpret them in ways that would cloud the meaning of them for the same reasons as previously mentioned.

Many masters since have given us the same messages through their music, art or writings, Notably St Francis of Assisi who said, "There are beautiful and wild forces within us." The Sufi poet Rumi,"If you put your soul against this oar with me, the power that made the universe will enter your sinew from a source not outside your limbs, but from a holy realm that lives within us." William Blake writes, "God became as were are, that we may be as he is. God is man and exists in us and we in him." There are hundreds of examples of this concept in ancient texts as well as all the holy texts of the world's religions.

In previous articles from this series I discussed Gregg Braden's God Code and the translating of the message from our DNA that God lies within. Replacing the four elements that make up all things, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which are all unseen and the one element, carbon, which has substance and can be seen, with the Hebrew or Arabic equivalents of the name of God adds further proof that God is within us. There is only one element different in our DNA than from the translated name of God in our DNA. That element is carbon, the element of substance.

This gives new meaning to the words of Jesus in Corinthians; "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that God dwelleth within you?" or in a later chapter of the same book, "Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you." The element of carbon gives God the ability to be seen by each of us and to become the vessel in which to reside.

The point of all these quotations is to show that the concept that we are God is not a new one. The interpretation of the quotes brings out new meaning when looked at from the premise of this article. We are approaching the next step in human evolution. We are remembering who we truly are. The idea that we are helpless puppets and need to follow the orders of the ones who know more or know what is good for us is coming to an end. The practice of following our inner guidance is replacing it. The knowledge that we are God is just one attribute that we will and are adopting right now to facilitate that step.

The proof is all around is from the decrease in the attendance of churches that have traditionally preached to us how to live our lives to the gaining popularity of "new age" philosophies whose messages are one of self-empowerment. The shift is happening now.

The world census of 2000 revealed that 95% of us believe in a higher power of some description. We come into this world searching for the definition of God. Of who we are and why we are here. That search has taken all kinds of twists and turns in human history but I believe we are evolving into the knowing that we are God. That we have the ability to create whatever we choose for our selves. That heaven is not some place where God resides and where we go when we die, but that heaven is right here within us. Right here on our New Planet Earth.

Unity With Mother Earth

Upon reading part 2 in the "New Planet Earth" series I realized two things. First, it is a very intricate concept and one which I have a lot to say. As I have stated the concept of unity is also very important in us all taking the next step in our evolutionary process. A 2400 word article is long for this application and yet not long enough to really give a thorough explanation of all the aspects I mentioned in it. I probably should have made it a complete series on it's own to really do it justice.

Secondly, I realized that I failed to discuss one major factor in our understanding of unity. The realization that our mother earth is a live being. That we are composed of the same stuff she is. That she feels love and communicates with us in so many non-verbal ways. The right-brained people will understand this statement better than left brainers as they usual will have a tendency to feel the real connection with the earth.

So, in this article I wish to expand a couple of topics that beg for the clarity that I hope it will give. The first topic is the grids that hold our consciousness in place. These grids I speak of are not the magnetic grid that is recognized as the directional guidelines for so many creatures to navigate their particular migrational paths.

These grids; the primal grid - the duality grid - the unity grid are crystalline in composition. They look like a spider web hence it is often called the webs of consciousness. They serve the purpose of determining our mass consciousness. Our reality. How we relate to ourselves and the world around us. They effect our memories. They have an electro-magnetic aspect which is the physical reason that they can do this. Our memories and our actions are greatly effected by magnetics. Look at full moon time when the magnetics of the earth are altered. What happens to many of us? Just ask a policeman. We are affected.

The duality grid as I have said gives us our "rule book" for our beliefs and actions. This grid is often called "the veil" as it inhibits our memory from opening up to who and what we truly are. This grid and the primal grid have been our guides since the beginning of known human history. I say both because with consciousness shifts both are integrated. We don't use the second one without keeping aspects of the first also. The basis for this series is that I believe we are going to be accessing the third grid.

The term that gets thrown around a lot is "the veil is lifting". Well that term may sound new-agey, and it is, but the reality is, that is exactly what is happening. When we all access the Christ grid it completely changes our perspective on everything. With these changes we will be able to see clearly that we are god also. All the concepts I am introducing is this series will become common knowledge. This includes the concept of unity, but it takes a critical mass of our population to truly believe these ideas before we will all adopt them as our own. Right now there is an ever growing amount of people on this earth that are experiencing this shift. We just need to get to our biblical 144,000 for us all to shift.

Again, so much more to say and I have possibly just created more questions with this further explanation of the grids. With the Christ grid, when our veil of forgetfulness lifts and allows us to see clearly, our sameness and divinity, the concept of unity will not only become easily ingrained but an essential element of our beings on the new planet earth.

The presentation of the information from Gragg Braden's God Code I feel needs more discussion. Reading the whole book ,of course, would be the most beneficial to the understanding of this very important discovery but I will expand this concept with the intent of giving clarity to the understanding of unity.

Gregg uses the ancient science of gematria to explain how he arrived at his conclusion that the message that God is within our bodies is coded in our DNA. Gematria is basically the practice of using numbers instead of letters to describe and compare things. With language the meanings can be interpreted in different ways. With assigning number values to letters the comparison then becomes "apples to apples" or common denominators, which then leaves no doubt as to the meanings. The rules of gematria state that when something has the same numeric value, it is then the same thing.

He uses one particular group of texts from the school of Kabbalah; the Sephir Yetzirah or the book of creation. In the Sepher Yetzirah, Gregg explains, is the information that explains the alchemy of creation. Through many direct quotes from this ancient text the message becomes clear. This text says clearly that God used fire, air and water to create all things. I will just skim over how he arrived at converting those elements to the modern elements of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen as it is a long process and reading the book would fill in the blanks.

Using gematria for these three elements from the periodic tables of atomic mass, hydrogen is 1, nitrogen is 5 and oxygen is 6. Just a brief explanation for the conversion from fire air and water... the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, water is made up of 86% oxygen and fire or in alchemical terms the sun is composed up of 71 percent hydrogen. The fourth element that makes up all life is carbon. This is where we fit in as we are carbon beings. So if you add hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen the numeric value comes to 12 which can reduced to a 3. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 or 3. Many ancient texts say that we were created from dust...from clay... from the stuff of mother earth. Using the Cabalist text for reference, that god used the three elements to make man makes more "scientific" sense now for my left brain to acknowledge.

Each of the 22 consonants of the ancient Hebrew alphabet have been assigned a numeric value. The Hebrew word for heaven, using gematria, adds to 395. The Hebrew word for earth adds to 395. With the rules of gematria heaven and earth and one and the same. Many texts describe humankind as the bridge between heaven and earth. So throughout our lives, the qualities of both realms are merged into one as they are the same. When we transition our bodies return to the earth and our souls and heaven are already one. This gives meaning to all the references of us being eternal as our energy merely changes form it does not end.

The point of this long explanation is to help you see that we are one. How can there be any difference in us if this information that has been given to us from ancient wisdom is to be believed?

Which then leads to the understanding that we are one with our mother earth. She is our mother. She bore us. We are made up of the same stuff she is. There is no separation. If we can understand or at least examine for ourselves whether this information rings true then how can we possibly want to hurt her. How can we not honor and respect her as we do our earthly mothers.

She does communicate with us if we only choose to listen. She shows us when we are being destructive with her. She gives us never ending unconditional love She supplies our shelter.She lifts our souls with her endless display of beauty. She supplies us with everything we need to nourish our bodies and our souls. She produces all things necessary to heal our diseases. She takes our bodies back when we leave and transforms them into wondrous things. She does all the things that a loving mother can possibly do for her children.

Unity is our future. It is our solution to all of the trials and tribulations that have followed us in our history. If history is examined, all the incidences of death and destruction have their roots in the idea that we are separate from each other and all things. With unity consciousness will come a period of human experience that will be filled with love, compassion, co-operation and a deep realization that all is one.

Oneness - The Unity Of All Things

7/21/2007... This is an appropriate day to write this article. It is a 1 day, 7+2+1+2+7 adds up to 19 which becomes 10 which is 1. One in numerology is unity. The concept that we as humans are one with each other and all things. Unity is the first concept that the human will adopt on the new planet earth.

An easy statement to make but a difficult one to explain and equally hard for us to truly, in our hearts and souls, believe. My explanation could fill a book but in this article I will share with you my journey to the place of knowing that we are one.

My intent is not to convince you that unity consciousness is real but to merely pass on my experiences and perspective so that you may take what may resonate with you and leave the rest. In one article all I can hope is to create an impetus for you to examine how oneness may or may not make sense to you.

The unity concept is the foundation that gives clarity and understanding to the other concepts I will discuss in this series, so needless to say an essential aspect of our journey to creating a new planet earth.

Right Brain and Left Brain Dominance

There are two types of personalities in respect to brain dominance. Right-brained and left-brained. We all have both sides of course but I am speaking of one side or the other being dominant. This right or left brain talk is one more characteristic of the duality consciousness we are in now.

Right brained people look at things from the emotional, artistic, creative perspective. This is also described as the feminine aspect, although certainly not reserved to the female gender. A person that looks at things from a left brained or "masculine" perspective will want things to be logical, analyzing all questions, needing answers backed up with scientific proof.

It is much easier for right-brained people to understand this concept as they are the caregivers, the nature lovers, the artists and musicians. The people that can easily feel the love for all things. They can see that all things are connected much clearer than left brained people because they are motivated by feelings rather than reason. They have less need of a logical explanation of things and therefore can grasp the concept of unity because they have felt it with their children or their art or theirmusic. The idea of unconditional love for all things comes more naturally, mainly because they don't need proof that it is real, they just feel it.

Throwing around all these nice words like "unity" and "love for all things" and "we are all the same" may be alright for the feminine aspect of our selves but I can hear left-brainers saying "show me". I know, because for the majority of my life I looked at things from a left-brained perspective. It wasn't until I woke up in 2000 after a life changing event that my right brain woke up also making it easier for me to understand the idea that we are one with all things.

In this series I will be referencing the term right and left brain dominant because in duality there is a need to address both perspectives. I will be paying particular attention to left brain information as this kind of person needs the most validation.

Unity Consciousness

Even though we are in a consciousness of separation, unity is one thing that we as humans have ingrained in us from birth. Starting literally in the womb where mother is connected to child with the umbilical cord. This connectedness carries on with us into the unity of marriage, then family, then extends to race or religion. We can easily feel and understand this concept when we go that far in our description but once we start talking of things outside of that is where unity usually ends.

It stems from the fear of the unknown. From the lack of understanding and knowledge about a race or nationality. From seeing people as different if they have different skin color or have different customs or beliefs. Fearing them. Or judging them as not normal or possibly a threat to our families or way of life. When we are introduced to a cultureor person that is different from us we quickly recognize that there is no difference. How many of us has had that happen? Our idea of oneness is then extended to them. Taking away the ignorance of not knowing them immediately eliminates the fear.

This is the first step in expanding our consciousness out from our immediate sphere of experience. Factors that are accomplishing this result are the advent of global travel, mass media and of course recently, the world wide web. We can quickly and easily obtain information about different countries and people which is eliminating the fear of the unknown and allowing us to understand that the human race is all the same. Having basically the same experiences in life and because of global communications we are now able to reach out and interact with people all over the globe.

It has just been in the last century that this ability to connect globally has begun and I believe an essential part of us creating the new planet earth that I am discussing. It has been called mass consciousness and in history because of the lack of technology has been reserved to people inhabiting the small area in which they lived.

Now with mass communications it is possible to experience things from a global consciousness making the idea of unity consciousness much easier to accomplish. There is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon. It is called a grid or web that surrounds the earth connecting all of us together. Have you ever had the experience of being with a group of people and you all had the same thought at once. We like to chalk those times up to coincidence but is there really any such thing as coincidence?

If you have ever noticed in nature how a species seem to practice non-verbal communication, seeming to know what the other is going to do. They do this because each species has their own web that they tap into that relays their intentions to each other.

There are actually three grids of consciousness surrounding the earth: the primal, the duality and the Christ grid.

Humans are at least as advanced (well, maybe) as any other species so why would the concept of a grid to precipitate human communication be so hard to believe. It has been known since the 40's of a geo-magnetic grid encompassing the earth that was there for unexplained reasons. This is the web that connects us together; the web of love. Funny that the Internet is also called a web as really the concept is the same.

After my awakening in 2000 when I was completely turned around to being right brained dominant. I totally believed that we were one with all things yet if asked I could not give any kind of scientific explanation fro my belief. As time went on and as I examined the unity concept my old habits of left-brained analyzing kept creeping in. Then I found two sources of information that quieted my left brain tendencies and gave me a clear understanding of unity consciousness. One was Drunvalo Melchizedek 2 volume series called The Ancient Secret Of The Flower Of Life.

The Flower Of Life

Drunvalo gave me an extremely detailed scientific explanation of the creation of all things. His book goes into a detailed dissection of the sacred geometries of the flower of life. That in this symbol is the blueprint for all of creation. Explaining the Genesis pattern, showing me how all things in the universe were created from the same beginnings. That we are all made from the same stuff. Perfectly logical explanations for why we are one and how we came to be.

He also gives a detailed look at Leonardo Da Vinci's canon and a canon drawn by Vitruvius, a Greek engineer 1600 years earlier, which illustrated the creation of all things and the levels of consciousness that humans have been in and are going to. How all things in nature followed these patterns of creation with using the Fibonacci series as there guide. How the geometric ratios that are in our bodies are replicated in nature, in the ratios of the pyramids in Egypt, the earth, the moon, the orbits of the planets, in all things. Lots of pretty huge concepts but amazing left brained stuff.

Drunvalo also gets into the creation of the three grids of human consciousness. The first grid or first dimension being the primal grid or aboriginal grid. The second is the duality grid of which we now use even though their are still native cultures that use the first grid as their perspective on being. The duality grid's geometry is male oriented which is the reason for the male dominance of our cultures throughout our recorded history. The third grid is the Christ grid or unity grid which is a balanced grid of male and female influences or simply put, unified. That's is where we are headed.

The primal consciousness believes in the concept of oneness with all things. This makes it a harmonic grid. In harmony with all things. The duality grid is disharmonic. Where the prevalent belief is separateness. This consciousness breeds wars and destruction which has been a common theme throughout our history. Where we cannot see the connectedness of all things. This aspect is the reason the duality grid is disharmonic. The third grid or Christ grid is where humanity returns to the concepts of unity, cooperation, universal love. Returns to a harmonic existence. Possessing the knowledge of our oneness.

Anyone who knows music knows that firsts and thirds are harmonic. These descriptions of each grid are not judgmental, just an explanation of attributes of each level of consciousness. This is a huge topic in itself but this article is long enough as it is so I will leave it there.

It was all I needed to satisfy my analytic brain. These are not books that everyone would enjoy. Especially you right brainers. It also helped that I was approaching this with a pretty solid belief that the unity concept was real. But if you can get through it there are so many topics discussed that I am sure there would be something in them that would help anyone in their understanding of unity consciousness.

The God Code

The second source that was instrumental for my understanding of the oneness of all things was the book by Gregg Braden called The God Code. Gregg had a career as a senior computer systems engineer in the aerospace and defense industry. How's that left brainers? He has written many books and is a New York Times best-selling author so his credentials are pretty main-stream.

He worked for 12 years to come up with this information with the intent of furthering people's understanding of the oneness of all things. He unearthed a remarkable discovery that he shares with us in this book. He applied the biblical alphabets of Hebrew andArabic to a modern chemistry analysis of our DNA to reveal a code that gives us a clue to the mystery of our origins. Using the elements that form our DNA: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon or as the ancients called them fire, air, water and earth, matching their numeric values to the values of the letters in these languages Gregg showed that there was a message encrypted into every cell.

The message reads God/Eternal within the body. Expanding the translation it means humankind is one family united through a common heritage. Preserved within each cell of every human being, this message is repeated regardless of race or color or religion or ancestry. This code is so universal that the identical message can be translated into Hebrew or Arabic, the two oldest present day languages and obviously the two peoples that have the most to gain from accessing this message of unity.

Gregg says "The discovery of God's name within the essence of all life demonstrates that we are related not only to one another, but also to life itself, in the most intimate way imaginable. From a single blade of grass, to the vast expanses of uncharted rain forests; from a fruit fly peering at us through the many facets of a compound eye, to the piercing stare from our nearest primate relatives-any logic that preys on our differences ultimately dissolves with the evidence that all life is made from the chemical equivalent of a single name. With such a common bond, we are given a reason to look beyond the issues that may have separated us in the past."

The End Of The Journey

That has been my journey of discovery to truly believing in the oneness of all things.As I said this is the foundation to adopting some of the other concepts that will follow in this series. Knowing that I am God also is rooted in the knowledge that God is in all things. Releasing judgment becomes easy when I know that you are me and I am you. That I am the same as that fly on the wall or the flower on the stem. How can I judge knowing this. I have discussed the concept of unity in respect to things outside our selves but I have not mentioned the most important part of unity consciousness.

The unity of one's self. The harmonizing of all parts of our selves. The knowing that we are not right brained or left brained or that our body is separate from our mind or spirit. That all pieces work in harmony and co-operation. That we are neither male nor female. Just like god who is neither male nor female. That we are not broken up into separate parts battling each part for control over the other. That the mind is an integral part of the whole and not to be judged as the controller of actions and therefore viewed as non spiritual compared with actions from the heart. When the conceptof competition is released from our consciousness it includes any competition within ones self. One entity working with love and compassion for the good of all.

That is the essence of unity consciousness. That is the result of us remembering who we truly are and how we relate to all things. The time for this remembering is right now, in our lifetime. We are creating a new planet earth. A new world. And as Louis Armstrong once sang, "What a wonderful world it will be."
