Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Emanations of God.. So the story begins with the realization of the affinity to a god within a being's consciousness. This affinity may begin with external worship with various levels of understanding and attention given to various aspects of the being's consciousness. Because of the affinity, the knowledge comes that this space is an emanation of the god. To the external worshipper, the intended object of worship becomes the emanation of the god. To the internal worshipper, the inner object of worship becomes that emanation. It could be said that the spirit of the God has come to live inside the particular emanation or object of worship. When realization of the affinity to a god occurs within the infinite body of the being's consciousness (or in tibetan terms, the secret inner space of the being), the realization of the emanation of God in the space occurs. This recognition may lead some to believe that they are God. Yet as the emanation of God develops and the affinity and relationship deepens, the connotations of being God is not God with power, capable of manipulating events or having millions of devout worshippers. The acknowledgement of " being " an emanation of God means beholding the Self's presence as there being nothing but the Self emanating to itSelf within itSelf. This God and the only God is for one purpose only and that is to realize its presence. To accept anything means that there must be love for it. To realize the presence of the Self in all totality is simultaneous to immeasureable Love. Thus we could say that in the Self's presence of itself, it can do nothing but love itself. This is it's duty and without fail, it cannot help but love itself when it realizes itself. Even if the image of God was not there, the love for the God /Space is still present. You would think how is it possible for any space to exist without love for it. All space exists because of and for the Self's presence. So, the revelation of realizing that the emanation of God is God, is the revelation that the only purpose of emanation is to realize how much love God has for itself. Those who claim that they are an emanation of God have not yet realized that it is not the emanation of God that they need to speak of. But rather, to speak of that presence of Self in all beings which is simultaneous and coexists with the Self's love for itself. The all inclusive acceptance of the Self's presence within the Self must be Love. Acceptance means Realization. Realizing the emanation of God is a gift the Self gives to itself - the realization of it's love for itself. It is a giving of the Self receiving from itSelf. Inherent in all beings is the gift of the emanation of the Self. To worship the Self in the secret inner space, to worship the Self in the outer space, to worship the self in the inner space.. and all other spaces. To worship the Self until no matter what you do, where you go, the Self lives in you, acts and is present constantly. To worship until nothing exists but total love for the Self in all spaces because all space is the emanation of the Self. In the realization that emanation and God are the same presence everywhere, comes the understanding of Love in form and formlessness. All space, inner and outer everywhere and nowhere is saturated with Presence and Love. Everything and nothing that is looked upon reflects only presence and love, remaining in itself. Thus comes the understanding that all Love of the Self for the Self, is the reason for all emanations of existence in various forms. All various modes of existence, various beings and objects of attachment are objects of worship, in the Love of the Self for the Self. Yet liberation comes only when it is realized that worshipper and object worshipped is the Self loving the Self in recognition of its presence. Soham Om...
