Praise All-ah
I have said that I am God. But, after thinking about it some more (oops), I have decided that I am not God.
To claim that I am God implies that I am singular, because the pronoun "I" is singular. But, in the sense that the term "God" is commonly used, it cannot be singular. "God" implies a separate (more powerful) being from the one using the term. And, if there are separate beings then there is more than one.
So, in bowing to the convention of language I must capitulate my assertion that I am God, and admit that I am not. But, WE are! In every sense of the term "God" that I have just expounded on, WE are God! No, we are not gods. That would mean that each one of us as an individual is God. We are not God as individuals, WE are only God when WE are taken together as One.
God is a WE, not a He or a She. WE created the Universe, WE are all powerful, WE are all knowing and all present. But, only in the sense that WE are connected as One, never in the sense that we are individuals, or in any way separated from each other.
So, to experience God (i.e. enlightenment) is to recognize and embrace this connection with all other people, and things! In fact, in the truest sense, WE are not God either. Everything is! So, perhaps we should just say, All is God, and leave it at that.
Praise All-Ah!
