I have heard the term thrown around, we are gods.

And ignored it.

Just one of those New Age stuff.

It was when I engaged in the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi,

that I began to look at it seriously.

The first issue was very unsettling for me.

If we are gods, 

then you are removing God from me.

The God I turn to in my life.

I look inside of me.

I still see the same God inside of me.

I decided as long as I believe in a personal God.

I will stay with that.

Then I started watching videos of physicists and philosophers.

Max Planck with God as the foundational base from which all things stem.

Spinoza with his god of singularity, the source from whence all things come from.

And now, the term monad.

They all point to the same, say the same.

God is this original singular source from which all things derive their being.

With the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi,

My real self became real to me.

My real self is the Divine Self.

For mystics also, there is no separation, no duality.

There is only that One, and we are with the One.

We are that Oneness.

Someone was trying to formulate what God is,

Ramana Maharshi responded, “Just say, you are god and be done with it.”

The Oneness helps me accept this truth or fact.

I never did have the experiences of those Indian mystics.

Who could tell what God is and what God is not.

Nisargadatta Maharaj, without much education,

Could go into depths, speaking that language of mystics,

Hard to comprehend.

I have however experienced God and God in everything.

I was standing there in nature one day.

When I felt the presence of God in everything.

“For a truth, God is the God of the Universe,” I exclaimed.

That became his name for me.

This oneness helps me today in accepting the fact we are gods.

We come from God.

God did not create us outside of himself.

Like a potter his pots of clay.

He created us by expanding himself into creation.

Splintering into this billions or trillions of Creation.

Where we all came into being.

Beings like him, with his attributes.

We then move into matter.

Being here on earth is part of that.

I look inside of me and I see God.

I look outside, above, below me and I see God.

I look at the Universe within me and I see God.

That is another mystery.

How can I view the Universe inside of me?

This small physical body of mine?

“You are thinking in terms of the physical body,”

spirits told me, “Think in terms of spirit, you are spirit.”

We are bigger than the physical body.

We, spirit, contain the physical body.

The physical body does not contain our spirit.

All these led me to accepting and believing.

We are gods.

Gods having a human experience through the billions, trillions of us.

Not only us, but through the inanimate things, trees, animals, beings.

Explore all that, it is fascinating.
