Living As God

by P. Raymond Stewart

There is only one thing that truly matters - are you expressing love right now? Love legitimizes all. When you love, you are declaring your true nature.

The fabric of your very existence, the substance of your soul, the stuff of atoms and of the entire cosmos is love. Yes, love helps you on your human journey. Yes, love brings harmony to your relationships. But most importantly, it is when you are loving that you most beautifully express your God essence. When you love, you live as God - you live God into our world.

You don't need to nor can you ever get love. You only need to express it. And it is not love when you give in order that you receive something you desire in return or to accumulate good karma. The reason you need to express love is that when you love, the finer energy vibration that is released is the expression of your true self. By extending love, you come to know your true self - beyond the limitation of form and more encompassing than anything you can think or imagine you are.

Love moves us. Only steps taken in love move us forward. All else is but a stationary dance. We get many opportunities, perhaps even many lifetimes to learn to love unconditionally - to express the Self that we are. We are here to learn how to love every experience, every thing, every person and every moment fully.

We cannot truly love without experiencing our Oneness. And to help us learn how to truly love, we can start by being intimate with All That Is, meaning acting on our Oneness with whatever is present - living that unity by loving whatever is, and opening our heart to its gifts.

Our Oneness is our reality. But we need to act on this reality in order to experience it. This is how we break through the illusion of separation.

Let our prayer be for Immediate Intimacy. May we be able to feel our Oneness and the reality of our love essence in every moment, with every person, every thing, every experience.

Immediate Intimacy involves embracing every person, situation, and experience without the weight of our conditioned past, our personal baggage. It means setting judgments aside and relating to others without fear, without the need to be stronger or better than others or to control the encounter. It means meeting another and whatever the present moment brings without needs or limitations of any kind.

Let us be open, vulnerable, and unconditionally accepting of every part of the One Self. Let us greet everyone and everything with a willingness to love in whatever way feels highest. That is how we express our God Self on earth. It is our reason for human existence.

If we cannot greet another with authentic openness, we limit the love that can be expressed. If we cannot be intimate with the many forms of our One Self, we cannot know our many faces. Let us be open to loving the stranger with the same would have when meeting our long-lost brother, for he is our long-lost brother. Lost because we thought he was a stranger, found because we now remember our connectedness.

You are a unique energy formation taking the dense form of a human body. Always, the facet of our One Self known to you as  you  is connected to and broadcasting to All That Is. Everything you give, you give unto your One Self. Everything you receive, you receive from your One Self. But since energy is ever creative, what you send out as a loving wish for a friend may come back to you as a gifted bouquet of roses; similar energies join it and the result is it takes a different form. The act of creation is not linear or predictable. It is not limited by time and space. With deep love, you can sow a mustard seed in one field and reap a harvest of the finest grapes in another.

To create intentionally means to make conscious choices of what you want to create and to take the responsibility for your creations. Do you choose to see this creative power as a burden or a blessing? Choose. You can choose to make a cake, to create a new life, build a pyramid, or move a mountain. These differ only in your focus and your belief in the power of your creative capacity.

You can choose illness and pain if you like. Then when you have had enough of these, you can choose health and joy. Choose to love and watch how peace follows. Choose to worry and see how it brings pain. Each moment holds infinite possibilities and only awaits your call into your experience. It is of no grave importance what you choose. What is important is that your act of choosing helps you become aware of your identity as a creator. Evidence that you are one with God is the evidence that you can choose. For to choose is to create. And to create is to be living as God.

The person who wrote the words in this book does not claim personal authorship of them. For it is written from the knowing that we are all One. It is for this reason that the pseudonym P. Raymond Stewart is used. Who then is the real author? We all are. For as Living As God so clearly states, we are all essentially One in spirit, and all things come from this collective soul we call God. This includes you. Together, we have created everything, including this book. And knowing this offers us a grand idea - that nothing comes by chance, that we are all connected, and that if you are reading this, then you too are its author.
