All That is Necessary is to Know the Divine is Everywhere
This Awareness indicates that all is necessary for entities to know that the Divine is everywhere present. It is also within you. You may, if you wish, ride on the coattails of some master or teacher or group, which claims to have especial standing with the Divine, or you may simply accept the Divine as part of your life, as being one with yourself by surrendering your whole being to the Divine that permeates and expresses Itself to all nature, and in that action, you become one attuned to the Divine, and from that Divinity State, you are then free to study all of the religions, all of the philosophies, any cult information, whatever it is that you desire to study, with the knowledge that you are One with God and cannot be seduced or misled by some false teacher, even if you study the false teacher's teachings, because you know you are one with God.
For God is everywhere and is in you, and you have surrendered to that Universal Divinity. You don't need the false teacher's teachings for your salvation, but you want to study it just to see what they are doing, what they are doing to the mind of others, what they are promoting, or you may study a teaching to get a better understanding of certain principles, but the bottom line of your being is that you are already One with the Divine. You surrender yourself totally, absolutely, to the Universal Being that is everywhere present, and is within you.
And your dedicate yourself to the highest and best expression of self in
order to serve and reflect that Divinity to whom you have given yourself. This
Awareness that is all there is to. From that on you can explore anything, study
anything, with the absolute knowledge that it can't harm you, it can't affect
you. It can give you information, and from your position of being One with God,
you can discern and evaluate that information for yourself, to know what is
true and what isn't, and you can see, you can search, you can discover, you
can explore anything in consciousness, with the confidence and assurance that
it cannot entrap you. It cannot seduce you. It cannot control you. It can not
take away from your absolute vantage point and marriage to the Divine, to which
you have surrendered yourself.
It Comes All Down to Surrender one's Self-Importance into the Importance of the Divine.
This Awareness indicates that it is amazing how many words and how many questions and how many ways things can be viewed from the realm of thought about that action which this Awareness has said is the method for achieving enlightenment, when it all comes down to surrender one's self-importance into the importance of the Divine.
The Mind Can't Stand the Thought That It Has No Role
This Awareness indicates that the mind does not like things to be so simple. It wants to complicate the whole process, to make it more difficult. It want to make this challenging. How can it be so simple and yet to bring so much, for isn't enlightenment, spiritual development and enlightenment to goal of all entities on Earth? Surely it must be more complicated!
The mind can't stand the thought that it has no role in the process of reaching enlightenment, that it is simply and only matter of surrendering one's self-importance to the Divine.
Merging With the Divine Not a One-Shot Episode
This Awareness indicates that the important thing is that whatever means entities choose, they should realize it is not a one time episode. It is an action that needs be done moment to moment, day in day out, for it to be a lasting and permanent union with the Divine. When you feel yourself as the bride of the Divine as has been described in the Book of reveleation, when you feel yourself as being able to give yourself totally to the Divine, and this feeling is perpetual in nature, then you are indeed one with the Divine. When this is perpetual, you are perpetually one with the Divine.
This Awareness indicates that you cannot, however, go out and build a reputation or self-promotion on a claim of being one with the Divine without threatening that relationship, because, when you start to brag about your marriage to the Divine, you are in danger of promoting yourself as more important than the Divine, and getting a claim from your peers for being one with the Divine puts you in jeopardy of self-importance.
Self importance is incompatable with Divine Importance and surrender to the Divinity. You must always keep the Divine in higher importance than self, or you threaten the union that you have formed with the Divine.
Thus, you see occasional ministers or holy men who begin to take great advantage of others for being one with the master, one with the Divine and expect that others should hold them in high esteem for being one with the Divine, and in the process of this shift, they are simply using the Divine to further themselves.
The First and Second Traps for the Seeker
This becomes the second trap for the seeker. The first trap being the idea that you have to do something difficult to become one with the Divine, when in fact all you have to do is to surrender. The second trap being to think of yourself as excessively important because you have somehow fused or merged with the Divine, whereby you start to use the Divine for your own gain and self-importance.
It is simple. Surrender yourself to the Divine and remain surrendered from moment to moment forever after.
