A:

to YP.. etal

Indeed.. "God" IS above proof... except ... to Its own SELF.   Only God can truly KNOW God  .. and yet God CAN be KNOWN in the Transcendent Perspective. THIS is where Grace comes in.   Grace is the revealing aspect of the Divine ONE  where we are finally able to RE-Cognize our own True SELF.

Also... we CAN look at a flower and considering its perfection.  Our finite mind can imagine the definite POSSIBILITY of a Higher Consciousness  .. none the less .. until Grace actually reveals  the Supreme Truth.. that that flower IS "God" itself.. manifesting AS that flower.. we too will remain in ignorance of our own True SELF AND God.

 The OBSERVER of the FLOWER,  The FLOWER , and "GOD"  are in fact all ONE and the SAME.     With only the intellect to depend on, this ultimate reality will NEVER be realized, that ONLY "GOD".. Supreme Consciousness exists  AS all that is.    

This is why Grace, the active and revealing POWER of "God" is essential.   Plus, no religion owns Grace.  It is totally indendent of any mind construct.  Grace is totally FREE of any limitations. It can strike a fundamental Christian or Moslem, a Hindu or an Atheist with equal force.  Grace does not care what the finite mind's beliefs are.. it's only purpose is to awaken the dreamer from the dream of seperation and imperfection.

BTW   One who has, through the supreme act of Grace, moved BEYOND the dualistic religious perspective ... of God as a seperate,  judgmental Being  ... is not an Atheist.  Quite the contrary.. Some HAVE moved BEYOND "blind" faith  belief  of the THINKING mind ... to actual  Transcendent KNOWLEGE of their Infinite  BEing and the ONEness of ALL things.  I strongly suspect this is where Einstein was coming from.. a more expanded awareness of "God" than dualistic religion is able to hold.    

It is not until Grace Strikes that one can Transcend the finite mind of man and actually enter into the Christ or Perfect MIND/Heart  of God.    This may  bring about a rejection of dualistic religion. Indeed.. it WILL bring about a rejection of reality as we experience it,  but it is NOT a rejection of  "God".    Indeed   in "God" there is absolutely NOTHING to reject since THAT is Perfect.. in the Transcendant sense of the word.   

There comes a recognition of religions'  limitations and moving BEYOND those limitations.   It is NEVER simply an intellectual process. 

  It is sooo true, that the ways of the LORD are mysterious.  The finite mind of man cannot even begin to fathom how mysterious those ways are.        THIS is why those such as Jesus strongly suggest we do not JUDGE... because in doing so we cut ourselves off from the Supreme Truth.. where there is no Judgement.  No  experience of evil, no imperfection can enter this MOST Divine STATE of Pure BEing.  This is where Jesus was actually leading those souls who were ready to enter in. Not to just some dualistic heaven but to RECOGNITION of their ONE True Nature.

   Jesus is the Divine ONE   ... as we are ALL That SELF same ONE. There is ONLY this Perfect ONE ... everywhere, but it is veiled by the ego/mind and so goes unrecognized... until Grace strikes.     

 To those still trapped in judgment this WILL most likely sound blasphemous and heretical... and yet  it is THE Supreme Transcendent Truth that those such as Jesus came to impart.   Some "vessels" were/are pure enough to recognize  this highest Truth right away  .. most others?  Not so much. 

  Point: Religion, as a means to uplift humanity is not fake.. it does address the lesser reality.. the play of good and evil... and does TRY to point dualistic man toward The GOOD.  When it is able to hold this focus that CAN be very helpful to humanity.  But then  the usurpers, seeking power, show up and claim to speak for religion.  That's when things get messy "down" here.   

  Religion ( as I use the term)  has a spiritual arm  which engages The Divine from ITs dualistic state, AND it also has a political arm which holds an agenda.. to perpetuate itself as the ONLY or RIGHT way to approach The Divine.   And yet  there is no wrong way, no single APPROACH to God at this dualistic level of awareness.   

                               & & &

 Something else to Consider:    .. an individual mind CAN read non-dual Divine scripture... to say ... Revealed Scripture,  WRITTEN by one who is totally immersed WITHIN The "Christ" State of Perfect Consciousness.. HOWEVER ... to perceive the actual MESSAGE of that Scripture, the READER ALSO MUST  be IN this same Divine STATE of Perfect Awareness.   To say.... they MUST realize that ULTIMATELY .. ONLY  "GOD", DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS exists.   Otherwise the extremely subtle Truth being address will be missed and only the mundane meaning will come through.  A good example of this is when people ASSUME the statement  I AM THE ONE and The WAY.. is simply addressing Jesus' singular physical form.  THEY MISS that what is actually being addressed is Pure Consciousness itself.. THAT which everything here IS, and not limited in any way to a particular FORM.        This is where religions fall short.. when it depends on the subjective mind of man.  Truth Absolute can NOT be KNOWN this way.  They can work within the parameters of duality.. of Good and Evil.. as a limited individual entity, but that is as far as they can go.  They will not catch on that there is MORE.. until that MORE is revealed to them.

It is not that Jesus' highest teachings are hidden on purpose.. they are right there in front of us.. for THOSE who have the NON DUAL eyes to see.  Alas.. this highest state of awareness is RARE.    There will be many who THINK they can recognize and understand true scripture, and understand The Divine Mind.... but they do not.  This is not their fault though,  it is the fault of the veiling ego.. that which contracts Pure Consciousness and makes us THINK we are somehow seperate from Divine SOURCE...AND each other,  when all there IS  is Divine SOURCE.

There is a reason Jesus instructed people to love others as themselves... because ULTIMATELY  they truly ARE the same!  There is no "OTHER"  from The Divine Perspective.    This IS what Grace reveals. Grace IS.. Amazing.

                                                 Peace,  Faith

PS  Always a good idea to play NICE in the sand box .. this Play of Life.   One just never knows when The Divine ONE will reveal ITS True SELF... through/as  your neighbor.   : )
