There is much talk about downloading thoughts, words and works direct from God or spirits. Some of us like the prophets Moses and Mohammad, authors like Neal Donald Walsh, and spiritual channels such as Esther Hicks and Edgar Cayce are said to have direct lines to these sources.
How is this possible for some?
Moses on Mount Sinai was said to have received the 10 Commandments in Stone Tablet form written by the finger of God.
Mohammed is believed by millions of devoted Muslims to have received The Qur’an or God’s word ( distinct from hadith, which are the sayings of Mohammad ) revealed directly to him in Arabic by God over a twenty-two year period starting in the Cave of Hira on Mount Hira ( aka Mountain of Light aka Jabal al-nur ) on the outskirts of Mecca beginning in 610 CE ( Common Era aka AD aka Anno Domini aka In the year of our Lord ).
Neal Donald Walsh, author of “Conversations with God,” book series, claims to journal questions to God, which God then answers in an interview format.
Esther Hicks claims regularly to channel Abraham, a collection benevolent of alien spirits, both privately and for large audiences of paying devotees for enlightenment on various topics largely centered around The Law of Attraction ( LOA ).
Many of us pray. Quite a few of us feel we get answers.
Which of these are spiritual revelation?
In many spiritual traditions and in several New Thought and traditional religions and teachings, there is a faith in the universiality of god. That god is everywhere. That there is nowhere where god is not. That we are in fact all part of god, and all connected in some spiritual form with each other.
That the illusion of separation is a kind of sin or mistake or is just that, illusion.
That we are all in fact part of and one with god, one with one another, and one with the whole which is the universe.
That is, we are all one with and unified with the universe; and, so are one with and unified with god; and, so are one with and unified with one another.
If we are all in fact one with god and one with each other and cannot be separate, aren’t then the words or thoughts of any of us, of each of us, and of all of us, are they not all downloaded directly from god?
If we cannot be separate from god, and we are all part of god, then are not all our thoughts god’s thoughts?
On some spiritual level, some group consciousness level, is not each of our thoughts also all of our thoughts?
Is not the thought of any of us, the thought of all of us?
There are New Thought concepts that believe there is a universal mind from which all thoughts and knowledge may be and are drawn as needed from an abundant universe, a kind of generous god if you will.
Wouldn’t this universal mind concept then be consistent with a belief that all thoughts are god’s thoughts, all words are god’s word?
Namaste, a Sanskrit word, is a greeting used by Hindus and translates roughly as:
“As I acknowledge and honor the Spirit or God within myself, so do I acknowledge and honor the Spirit or God within you.
I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is love, of truth, of light, and of peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are one.”
This Hindu concept of namaste is also one of a unified oneness of us all and oneness with spirit.
If we are all Spirit, and we are all part of the universal all which is God, if this is true, how can any words or thoughts, regardless of the thought or word, be any but of God, directly downloaded?
And, if one of thus “downloads,” do we not all alway download?
Namaste my friends,
