We are not in the physical plane to be loved, but to be loving. We are not in the physical plane to be understood but to be understanding. We are in the physical plane to manifest the glory of God.

To be able to manifest consciously the glory of the Source of All That Is, we must gain the realisation that our relationship to God is like the relationship between a wave and the sea. The wave may be any shape and size, rolling, turbulent, fast or slow; and when it has expended its relatively brief life on the shore it 'returns' to the sea. In Truth, it never left it. It is the sea and the sea is it. There is no duality. To give it any characteristic other than 'sea' is to give it a false ego or identification.

We are like nerve endings at the cutting edge of creation, yet there is constant communication between the nerves and the brain. The nerve endings may not be aware of the brain, but the brain is most certainly aware of the nerve endings. Think of the miracle of unspoken communication when the fingers scratch an itchy knee.

We are like tentacles to the body of an octopus, feeling our way throughout creation. We are like the periscope in its relation to the submarine, intensely focused on the visual world, but never separate from the set of its being.

In this particular physical plane, we try to define the omniverse from the brief experience we have on this grain of sand that we call 'earth'. Just one grain of sand on the beach of infinity. "Do not speak of the great ocean to the frog in the well" say the Buddhists. No one can speak of God other than in parables. Neither Jesus nor the Buddha spoke the truth about 'God'. They did, however, point the way. And the way to God is as personal, as unique, as varied and as individual to you as are your fingerprints. God is as intimate to you as your heartbeat and your breathing. One moment we say "this is my breath" and the next moment it returns to the atmosphere. Did it ever leave it?

The truth of the great Masters is always ad hoc. It depends on the conditioned understanding of the people according to the time and place.

God is eternal. Truth is not. The ad hoc truth that "what goes up must come down" no longer exists in the space-age. It was true at one time.

So if a wave were to believe that it was born in sin, is separate from the source of its life, consciousness and energy, and that it will die at the end of its journey - mindlessly unaware of its existence as a wave - then it clings to a false truth, real though it may seem, and a false ego that is conditioned to believe in duality, in separateness.

The greatest way we can manifest the glory of who and what we really are is to choose love instead of fear. Know for yourself that whatever happens, happens right. Honour the godliness of man, the earth and all its creatures. Honour all creation. There is nothing but God.
