When it comes to religious and spiritual matters, we hear so often, "There's only One." Also, there's been a lot of talk about "duality," and how it challenges our alignment with that "oneness."
It would seem the question, "Do you believe [b]in[/b] God?," implies a duality - you, being one, and God, being another. There's an implication of separateness.
My view of God, is that all which God is, we are, also. Being built in His image, as it were, we are all "individuations" of God, each one of us and everything in this world, containing the totality of God, in the same way one drop of sea water contains all of the elements of the entire ocean.
I consider the notion of belief [b]OF[/b] God. I believe [b]OF[/b] God, not [b]IN[/b] God, thereby recognizing the oneness we ARE with God, not the separation, the duality, [i]between[/i] us and God.
Being OF each other, results in oneness. In math, 1 times 1 equals 1. Another way of stating "times," is "of."
Your thoughts?
