My two chief disagreements are the phrases "one with the Universal Mind" and the "eyes of God".
Words are critically important here.
There is no such thing as any "universal mind". That is the 'thinker' speaking with the voice of the "dragon", trying to apprehend Truth through thought. All of that is dualistic. Better not to say anything at all than to perpetuate and intensify the duality.
But the phrase "the eyes of God" is orders of magnitude
beyond that; perhaps demonstrating one of the fundamental differences between the Revelations of the monotheistic religions and the Eastern esoteric tradition.
The most that can be said is that this is a dimension of conciousness beyond the "self" and the 'thinker'; but, to pull into this the thought or image of "the eyes of God" is for the "self"/'thinker' to create God in its own image; whereas the Truth of the matter is that it is the reverse that has occurred: Man has been Created in the image of God.
In other words, according to the Revelations of the monotheistic religions--specifically, the Vision of the "Son of man" and the Revelation of the "resurrection"--God is beyond the consciousness that is
beyond the consciousness of the "self" and the 'thinker'.
The danger of asserting that it is possible to attain a 'God' consciousness is in the idolatrization of the "Self" as God.
And the evidence for the danger in asserting this is that it was the idolatrization of Jesus as God which led very directly to the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.
And, as stated in the Koran, "Idolatry is
worse than bloodshed."
Why?
Because bloodshed is a consequence of idolatry--worshiping either the "self" or the 'thinker' as God; which, of course, is what is being done by the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious 'authorities' at this very moment as a consequence of the dualistic doctrines they teach originating in thought.
