WATER AND GOD

If you were to take a bottle of water from the store and trace it back to its origins, it would go something like this. Store, carton, truck, warehouse, bottling plant, stream/rivers/lakes/well/reservoir, clouds, and all the way back to the very origins of the universe. This is all part of a process called The Water Cycle. All water is connected to one source and unless it is separated by someone or something, it will always be one.

Water in oceans, rivers, ponds and lakes is heated by the sun, which turns it into water vapor, (which is kind of like invisible water) and the vapor forms a cloud up in the sky. When a cloud gets so full of water that it can't hold anymore, it rains. The rain water travels back into our rivers and oceans, or it soaks down deep into the ground, creating more groundwater. It's a great system ... and we base our lives on the sun and water.

Now, consider us ... mankind. We are born into a material world, and before our physical birth, was the birth canal. Then the womb, the umbilical cord, the egg/seed, our parents, their parents and so forth all the way back to the very origins of the universe. This is all part of a process called The Life Cycle. All life is connected to one source and unless it is separated by someone or something, it will always be ONE.

In fact, At the time you are born, the percentage of your body made up of water is about 78%. As you age, it drops to about 60%. This still means that we are made of mostly water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

To break this down into the point I am making is that in it's most basic form, there exists one Source or Creator or Point of Origin, which for the sake of unity I will call God. And Mankind is the offspring or "Son" of that God. That's all there is to it, in a nutshell. The essence of the Creator is in all of us just like water is in all water ... as the essence of the ocean is in every droplet of water removed from it.

That is NOT to say that Man is God, but rather, that God is Man. God is everything, and since ALL things begin as a thought before they are manifest or become the result of cause and effect, everything that exists ... exists within the Mind of God. And yes ... all world religions accepted this at the very core of their ancient wisdom.

All are one, and one is all. The universe is one gigantic living organism and you are it. You're not in it, or a part of it, you are IT. Inseparable. Everything is ONE. If you can grasp this ... it would change your life and the life of everyone in this world of ours. It is only our ego that believes us to be a separate creature or entity. There is ONE spirit, ONE body, ONE mind, and ONE humanity. Stop the circus long enough to think about this. I promise you, when you tear down the walls and tear the veil of fear and unknowingness ... you too will come to the same conclusion.

Just a thought ...
