I worship the God of Abraham. My God is a god of mercy, not justice; a god of souls, not duality; a god of love, but not of attachment. He is that He is. It is Him to which my life is dedicated. My belief in the bible is limited to the believing it is an actually published book. I do not reject the truths that are contained in that book, but I do heartily believe that they are greatly distorted. No one has ever been literally raised from the dead, they have in fact been shown that the world is dead to God, and the only souls that exist to Him are the ones that love Him. All the rest are left here, to continue the endless cycle of births and deaths ignorant of their true home. Thus being raised from the dead is to be saint, one who has reached the fifth region, Satch Kand.

 

I have met a number of Atheists, Theologians, Agnostics, Christians, Hebrews, Hindus, Sikhs, Mages, Islamics, Witnesses, Mormons, Catholics, Muslims, Gypsies, Wiccans, Pagans, Taoists, Cabbalists, Necromancers, Baha’is, and Druids all whom think they can describe God to even some degree. He is beyond anyone’s words, thoughts or mind. No matter how one might try to describe a chocolate chip cookie to another, unless he tastes it, it will be beyond his actual comprehension. It is only by experience can we truly know anything. By going within by the means of proper and true meditation as given by a Satguru, one can know God through experience of the soul, in this lifetime! No amount of austerities will appease Him; no chanting, invocation, raising of the kundalini, or sacrifice, save the sacrifice of the ego will help bring you to Him. The path is simple, but by no means easy.

A Satguru, a Living Master, must initiate you; only one who has been there can show you the way from within. To get the present Master’s initiation, you must be old enough (twenty four years of age), have been a lacto-vegetarian for a year, as well as having been abstaining from immoral activities such as pre-marital sex and breaking of the law, the use of mind-altering drugs (including any use of alcohol), etc. At the point of initiation you must swear an oath to meditate for at least two and a half hours a day, by the method given. The meditation is partly an act of going within to learn the way and the lessons that must come with that process, and partly it is an act of burning karma.

 

God is a trinity; there is The Father, The Son (or Master or Satguru), and the Holy Ghost or Spirit (aka shabd, sound current, audible life stream, word, om, or logos). The masters and saints are all at one with the father. The masters and saints are at one with the Shabd. That is their true form.

 

I do not mean to imply, that if you should chose to not go within that you are evil or will go to hell, but that you will be doomed to live again, here on earth region in one body or another. It is not wrong to choose the life cycle, for here there is entertainment and constant change, but in the home of all souls is ultimate in contentment and bliss.

God created the earth so that it may be experienced, but for those souls who did not initially want to come here, for those of us who want to return, He left us a way to get home, by his only begotten son, the Living Master. Through a Satguru, one has an icon to ascend by, a personal guide to transport you, to show you the way past the otherwise impossible to navigate inner (or upper) regions.

A Satguru will always have the following properties: he (or she) will never accept any payment for initiation or other spiritual service. A Satguru will live off his own means, not off of donations. The aura of a master is an impressive one. It will be white, and ten feet in radius. A master, upon receiving the mantle of that position will no longer have sex, and will not get married if he is single. A Satguru will not eat animals, which would include eggs, gelatin, poultry, fish, pork, beef, etc regardless of how or why it is killed. Nor will he eat foods cooking with such stuff. A Satguru will not imbibe alcohol or use drugs unless they are medications prescribed by a doctor. A Satguru teaches the five holy names, is at one with the Father and the Holy Spirit (Shabd). A master will never speak a harsh word to anyone regardless of the situation. Lastly a master is the most humble of beings, without ego. Therefore cannot admit to being the master directly. There can be more than one master at a time giving initiation, and there can be countless saints who are also one with the Father and Shabd but are not giving initiations. A master will not typically cause miracles directly as that makes getting followers too easy and is objectionable by the adversary.

 

If you want to believe in God, and want a personal relationship with the Supreme Being, then show him your love. It takes the slightest bit, to openly state you love God. You need not picture anything, for He is contained in everything. If you pray to him, even without belief, for Him to show you a sign of His existence, it will come. It will most likely be subtle and personal, not enough for to convince anyone but you. But come it will.

He will also answer other prayers. No belief in Him is required, however depending on what is asked, sometimes the answer will be “no”.

 

So the basic idea is burn the karma and the ego, follow the sound current up, and you’re home. It’s not about learning all of the lessons of life. We can never do that. Even if we were perfect we can still learn.

“The light of the Lord in my soul, bows to the light of the Lord in your soul”

—Meaning of Radahsoami—

 

“My Lord! I am ignorant. I do not know what to ask from you. Give me that which you think best for me. And give me the strength and wisdom to be happy about what you deem fit to give me, and about how and where you keep me. I have no virtue, no devotion. My actions are all dark and sinful. I possess no merits and the mind has thoroughly crushed me. For a sinner like myself, O Lord, there is no refuge but Thy Blessed Feet. I want nothing more. Make me Thy slave, that I become Thine, and Thou mayst become mine.”

 

—Daily prayer—
