Muslims Misread the Qur'an as Badly as Jews and Christians Misread the Bible.
This blog is about the Becoming God, "the Ineffable," the Most High God who is manifesting as the universe and all dimensions in it. The universe, being a manifestation of Him, IS Him. Most people miss that the Bible is about God's becoming--that He has become us, and we are becoming Him. It is the destiny of man to become just like the Father. In this blog I deal with the teachings of Neville Goddard and the ways Jews and Christians misread the Bible.
I wondered today what are the doctrines of the Muslims, what do they believe? I have known before, but my own beliefs have changed so much as I have matured in my learning, and I largely learned about other religions from Christians who are notorious for being completely wrong about what other religions believe, so not being sure anymore, I went to the internet and asked what Muslims believe and what are the doctrines of Islam.
I do not speak, read or write Arabic, but I am familiar with ancient languages, philosophic conceptions and phraseology. I also know that God speaks every language and can make himself known to any and every man regardless of language. I do not know what Muhammad, peace be upon him, understood or thought of the Jewish and Christian scriptures, but it is apparent that most Muslims misread and misunderstand the Qur'an in the same way Jews and Christians misread and misunderstand the Bible.
It is something of a paradox: The scriptures mean what they say, but they do not say what they mean. It is illustrative, symbolic language. The Bible is all true, but says metaphysical things in historical ways. So you read that Jesus died for our sins at the end of his life, when in actuality the energy of the Ineffable "died" (forgot its divine nature) to become Him through us at the beginning of our lives.
The pinnacle of beliefs is that God is one, yet all three religions have God as separate from creation. That my friends, is two. God is not separate. If you exist apart from God, you believe yourself to be a God, and that is rebellion as witchcraft. Believing in dualism makes God angry with you. We are supposed to honor God as our Father, believe that we are OF our Father.
God is one, and everything is included in that one. God is inside us, and he is the outside, too. Muslims, like Christians and Jews, think according to their dualistic interpretations of the scriptures and mislead themselves. "Jesus" is Allah in you. He is not some first century prophet. He is Allah's Manifestation, and He is your imagination, your inner consciousness. You are Jesus Christ, because your inner man is God. There is no God but Allah, and He is the whole thing. Everything is one being.
The ineffable, Most High God is much more than the universe, but He decided to manifest, for He desired to have form. The physical universe exists to facilitate His manifestation, which is the experience of all living things. That experience in us is our imagination/"spirit"/consciousness. That inner man has been known as all the characters on the Bible. The Biblical characters were not the physical, historical people, but are states of consciousness we all must pass through to the attaining of the ascended state of awareness of being the Ineffable.
There is no God but Allah--because nothing is separate from Him. Creation is not separate from Him, but is an extension of Him. It is called emanation. He is emanating us and everything else. We are all one big, package deal: the WHOLE of everything is the Ineffable--the ONE.

From a reader:
I have found your blog interesting to read/.
I have questioned my religious ideas of Islam since I was a little girl. It is like beautiful and powerful thoughts and ideas along with the spiritual actions have been shared with the Muslim, though the Muslim listens and does not act of the ideas but worships the ideas instead. A lazy approach in my opinion, but that is my opinion.

I totally agree. In my opinion of course, the Bible as well as many other religious books have been hugely misinterpreted and misunderstood. The believers have fall into the delusion of mistaken symbols, poetries, mythology and analogy for concrete reality.
Like Carl Jung once said "the Bible is anthropomorphic, it is mythological since it was written by Man". And I think he meant other books too.
I think this is the biggest delusion of all religions. We've failed to see the symbolic and mythopoetic meaning of God. A God which isn't separated from us and all of nature
