We are God as not-God

God is and has been and will be all that is and was and ever can be. God is eternal, infinite, and one. At some "time" it was God's "thought" to experience not-being-God. This "thought" was what we call the Big Bang from which the tangible universe was created.

The universe and all life and things in it are the opposite of God: limited, separate, and subject to change, aging, and death. This is what is meant when we say we live in a world of opposites. It is through the universe that God experiences not-being-God.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are the infinite in the finite. Each of us is part of God and it is that spirit that is our true self. We live in the dream we have created, believing in our limited, mortal forms and not knowing our true eternal selves.

It is only by the gradual awakening of our spirits that we eventually rise to knowledge of our divine nature. As Shakespeare said, the world is but a stage. We never die, only assume different roles. When the play is over, we will know who we truly are.

We are God in human form experiencing not-being-God.
