Although it is written in the Bible that God created man equal to his own image,
today we find it very hard to believe that this may actually be true and that
maybe every one of us is truly a spark of the Divine.

But what if we allowed ourselves for a moment to believe that God did indeed
create us in his own image? What if we are His co-creators? What if our
surrounding ‘objective reality’ proves to be only a projection of our own
consciousness? Could it be that it was we who created reality all along? Then God
did not forsake us after all, did he? Many people today have lost their faith since
they cannot believe that if there is a God, why he allows all these terrible things
in the world. But what if we were doing it to ourselves all along?

Maybe we are spiritual beings having a material experience instead of material beings having a
spiritual experience?

Eastern spirituality would call this realization an awakening, enlightenment, the
realization that we are One with God. Many people throughout history have
achieved this enlightenment; they awakened to the Christ consciousness, the
universal consciousness, like Jesus of Nazareth did. The problem that Jesus had
in his time is that nobody understood him. When he said ‘I and the Father are
One’, he was crucified for these words because they were taken by the Pharisees
as pure blasphemy.

Today many people will still crucify the enlightened idea that God and man are
One, especially those who tend to support the idea that God is judgmental and
man must be punished for his sins! However I believe that the current
developments in science are leading us into the direction of a realization that our
cosmos is Divine and that we are a part of the whole! This has been the true
message of all the prophets including Jesus of Nazareth who were trying to bring
Enlightenment to humanity. However in our fear of God we failed to recognize the
truth! Fortunately today it is much easier than 2000 years ago to comprehend the
very words of Jesus in a whole new context.

Jesus said ‘love your brother like you love yourself’. If we fail to love our brother
like ourselves, we fail to recognize the Oneness and our own Divinity. Of all the
six billion people that are walking the face of the Earth, in reality there is only
One of us here! We are only different perspectives of the same universal
consciousness!
