‘You are gods.’ Psalm 82:6
“Aham brahmasmi”. This means there is no difference between me and God. Vedas say.
‘Tat tvam asi” Though art that, Vedas say.
“Un-al-haq”. It means I am the same. Sufi Faqir says:

A common fantasy is to have the powers and knowledge of God yet retain one’s individuality. To be capable of knowing everything and doing anything. What possibilities!

Yet many feel that this is extremely egotistical. How dare you think that you could be God! That’s not your place. Why should you have special abilities that the rest of us do not?

And then there are those whose response is: “I wouldn’t want the responsibilities.” To be God means to take care of everything in existence, to make sure that things run smoothly and come out the right way.

Do any of these positions hold more weight than the others? Is it possible that more than one of these positions could co-exist with each other?

The one basic theory, which seems to hold everything together is this: Everything is connected; there is only One Being, of which we all are part. And if this One Being has Infinite Power, then each one of us has access to this Power. And if there is only One Being, then I am no different from the next person who is no different from you who is no different from God! At least at some level, that is.

But at what level?
Consider this.

How do we know that our reality has any existence outside of the Mind of God? What if you, I, and everything we experience in life is only a daydream? If you’ve seen the movie ‘The Matrix’, then you have some idea of what I’m talking about.

What if the substance of our reality does exist, but God is playing all of the parts?

Much like a computer game where the computer plays many characters. First, the computer plays the game as one character, then another, then another, switching between all of them so fast that you, the human player, see everything happening simultaneously.

Maybe God is playing all the parts in this grand play of Life. At one moment, God is me, then you, then your boss, then my lover, then someone else, and on and on until God is playing the part of my character again. Maybe God is switching between all of us so fast that we perceive it all to be one continuous flow.

Or, if time is simply another dimension that can be traveled and, on a higher level, all-time coexists, then God could move into the creation and play one part all the way through. Then go back in and play another part all the way through. Then another and another until all the parts have been played. And since God is playing multiple characters in this play, and the characters exist simultaneously in time, then each one of us is God pretending to be human!

Indeed, we don’t feel like God, but that may simply be the act that God is putting on while playing our part.

Human actors in a play do not portray their characters as themselves. They portray the characters, as those characters will be known. Until we are capable of transcending our level of reality and learning to see beyond our limiting dimensions, we will never really know the truth. Maybe we really are God, and we just don’t know it.

To understand the subject a little more in-depth, please be prepared to pay a little more attention.

It is said that God cannot be objectified, which means, cannot be known in the way we know everything else.

It is the universe that is the object. Ultimate reality cannot be seen, cannot be described, and cannot be understood by the mind. Since He can’t be described in words, so He can’t be even taught by the enlightened ones.

He is also said to be both known and unknowable. Why unknown, Because You, the subject, the witness consciousness, never becomes the object. And knowledge is objectification, you never become the object of knowledge.

What is that which is neither known nor unknown? It is you, the knower.

Who is more known to you than you? Yourself, it is you, whatever you are. If you describe yourself as body, mind, thoughts, memory, intellect, life force, etc., they are all known, objects of our awareness. They are thus not you. You are not even unknown.

Inside a dark room, say you have a torch. And you are using it to light up on objects inside the room towards which it is pointed, but there is no way to see the torch or the light from where it is coming. Witness consciousness here is the very thing that is searching. The very thing that is powering the mind, which in turn is experiencing. As you may say, it is me. Yes. Then you are the God.

You cannot search for it, objectify it but ‘Be it’, at least recognize that you are it. The moment you recognize this, you are one with the absolute living experience. This God, though itself unknown, is your own inner reality.

And what is the harm in accepting this? Imagine the consequence of not accepting this when, in the final chapter of life, it is proved to be true!

If interested in reflecting more on the subject, I would encourage readers to go through my newly published book, “Know God. He could be you.”
