Truth And Consequences

God is a person? For us, or rather to us, yes, but in reality He is not a super primate of unapproachable light sitting in a big chair, but rather is a supra-universal field of conscious power we are a part of. To us this field is a person, or "as" a person. And all Its facets and variables are as persons to us, also. We say, "He," and the Consciousness understands that we mean It. It doesn't mind the misconceptualization until we think of Him as other and not as ourselves within. The truth is that the Consciousness, (...?)'s imagination in all Its power, is all that there is. In every direction, in every form, nuance and thing that ever was, is, and ever will be, is the Consciousness--"There ain't nuthin' else!" And the Consciousness exercises authority here via the assumption we image:

"And God said, 'We shall make the human being in the image of our likeness, and they shall have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and the herds and all the creatures of the earth and all the four-legged animals that walk on the earth'" (Genesis 1:26 Alexander).

Wait. No. That's future. One of the greatest truths we learn from the Introduction to Young's Literal Translation and all who have experienced heaven and have returned and the likes of Neville Goddard is that there is no time to God. All is present--the future tenses in the Bible should be read as present and/or past perfect. Thus even Young's Genesis 1:26-28 should be read: "And God says, `We make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and they rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.' And God prepares the man in His image; in the image of God He prepares him, a male and a female He prepares them. And God blesses them, and God says to them, `You are fruitful and multiply. You fill the earth and subdue it, and you rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth'" (Genesis 1:26-28, my take on Young's Literal Translation). Things are present and ongoing.

The consequence of this truth is that as God's image the human being DOES what God does. We are actually ordered to (Genesis 1:28-30). Our being is Consciousness, and our standing orders are to do what the Consciousness we are of does. We best god like God, like the God we are of.
