89. God and Me.

God and me are two sides of the same coin that doesnt exist, even though it feels very wrong to make such a statement. The statement should be seen in a simpler manner. Before one is curious about the reality of God, one must know his own reality as a person. If he thinks the person is real, then that real person will take it for granted that its thought of what God is -is real.
Now since the question is being asked, it raises a doubt, do 'I' exist as a person or otherwise. I know that I exist in some form and that cannot be denied. But a little investigation can blow the hood of the idea that " I exist as a person or individual to this body". So what then are 'we'. Are 'we' at all, as initially imagined as a person? Answer is 'no'.
The Fact is that 'I' exist, because there is knowing of all that there is and such knowing needs some mechanism to know. Call it intelligence of 'life'. Its precisely that intelligence that God is.
So I think I am, ( as a person) but all there is -is God, ( a capacity the knows existence in whichever way it depicts).
Coming to God and the statues. Imagine somebody’s body, preferably a live one, like that of a friend. What you perceive by your senses are colours, shapes, smell ( if he smells), tastes etc etc. You cant perceive any friend there, other than as an idea in thought, because there isn’t any other factors that show up there as a sensation depicting a friend. There is no sensation as a ‘friend’ which comes as a perception through these five senses from outside. Now the character that one feels to the body, is ‘mind’ generated. The ‘person’ that comes out of the scene as ‘from’ that body is mind generated ‘here’. Its actually not  there at all as any ‘input’from outside. Never was, never will be. So the 'person' that is being seen there, is in fact seen within the 'mind'. So you are not seeing the 'meanings' of the world there, but in your mind.
In fact all ‘persons’ to all bodies are ‘mind generated’ or ‘self generated’ ideas and not inputs from external perception. This just happens on its own within so called 'mind' or within self.. One cant generate it or refrain from generating it, as a matter of choice. Its life's magic to create an echo of itself as an individual or a bubble. Sometimes, re-cognition doesn't happen and one is at the mercy of the mind, to generate or not, a person to that body. It generates the friends, mothers, children, enemies etc etc and the whole world of objects, including God to the statue. It even generates a 'me' to this body that "I am' not reducible to.

From the time it generates the persons, that body is then seen as a ‘character’ rather than a 'form'. No more as a figure or pattern in time and space. The seeing now has a feel of ‘person’ and not as a feel of ‘form'. The life there is felt as 'person' and not as a animating 'life' energy of a form. This seeing of ‘a friend’ in place of a 'life energy' animating the form, is just a 'notion' happening effortlessly. So every time that figure comes into the perception, the ‘person’ is always recognised, and never the form. Similarly, we recognise ourselves as ‘me’ that is never there, and that too, all the time. This ‘me’ and ‘you’ is recognition of the ‘wholeness split as parts’ like that for a body, which is a ‘feel’ or notion.

Now take the whole of creation that is perceived at this moment. It includes all presences of objects, space, thoughts, feelings, emotions and whatever is happening ‘now’. Imagine that all this ‘is’ one body expressing itself. If you would have to ‘see  a person’ to such wholeness, which is a single aspect to the whole scene, inside and outside of all bodies, including yours, what would such a ‘person’ or idea of wholeness feel?
The split mind, playing the game of duality, is trained to cognise forms as objects, even though objectivity doesn't exist other than as an idea or thought. So we see the wholeness of creation as the world of individual objects. It feels real. 7 billion 'people', animals, earth and cosmos are ideas. God is included in our imagination to be felt as real, apart from us, just like father and mother.
What if ‘all’ of wholeness manifested as a ‘single’ aspect or ‘one’ character that cant be called a character?. What if, in such whole seeing, all ‘separate’ meanings as ‘persons’ and ‘things’ to inanimate shapes, fall away and all seems one 'movement', screaming your 'existing' as the knowing of IT. Such a scene where 'you' dissolve to let wholeness arise, the question of existence of God would appear to no-one, because such someone wanting to know itself disappeared.
Both ‘persons’ and ‘God’ are present ‘as’ an absence and all there is, is a cognition of wholeness. The mind ‘is’ the cognising and such cognising is cognised as if, of a split (separate) or whole mind.

The intelligence of mind, plays itself as cognition, and makes a feel of separateness or wholeness is an act of God.  So, we think we are, but only God is. Isness is God.
