Our origin is You, no nation, creed, color, or
race binds us in their illusions. We are spirit,
temporarily trapped in the illusion, Maya.
2
In that illusion, many of us seem to believe the
self is material and will return to earth at death.
However, everlastingomnipresentpeace.com
asserts that the Self is Soul, Spirit, or
Intelligence. It is never born nor does it ever die.
Its ultimate goal is union with You, the Supreme
Soul, Spirit, or Inteligence.
3
As we awaken, we see and understand
that this Supreme Soul is You, Pure
Intelligence, within and above
consciousness, awareness, and
ordinary intelligence.
4
You are this Eternal Witness, the
Changeless Observer and Knower of
birth, growth, old-age, disease, and
death.
5
The ultimate goal of our life is reunion
with You, the Source of all Intelligence.
We are using the Yogas of Jnana, Bhakti,
Karma, and Raja Yoga to accomplish
this objective.
6
the beginning of this spiritual practice is
to always think of You. It purifies the
consciousness in which thoughts
concentrate, agitate, or elevate,
according to the impurity or purity
of the consciousness.
7
Our origin is You, no nation, creed, color,
or race binds us in their illusions. We are
practicing with patience, determined to
awaken out of Maya, reawakening to
You.
8
We are spirit, temporarily caught up in the
illusion, Maya. In that illusion, we are
struggling very hard, trying to have a
permanent, happy, and fulfilled life in a
temporary world of illusion.
9
We are eternal spirit, in quality one with
You. The One, Eternal, Supreme Spirit, the
Absolute Awareness, which gives life, light,
and power to all, is You. There is no sentient
nor insentient being that is not pervaded and
transcended by You.
10
As we associate with You through our practice
of Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, and Raja Yoga, our
intelligence, consciousness, and awareness are
purified, freed from thoughts, and quieted
again. At this stage, we are empowered to
meditate on You as the Light of Divine
Intelligence, within and beyond our present
intelligence.
11
When we are enlighten with the knowledge
whereby ignorance of Self is destroyed, we
are reestablished in our Real Self. This is
the Eternal, Omnipresent Peace which is
the Supreme Intelligence within and beyond
all genders, designations and classifications.
12
Your reign of Tranquility pervades,
and transcends the us Earth and all the
earth. The Earth and all of us are within
You. Nonetheless, Your completeness can
never be totally contained.
13
This Eternal, Omnipresent, Completeness is
You. It is the home we never really left, like
the wave that never really left the ocean. You
are this Omnipresence we cannot, and do not
want to leave. Everything, including Maya is
within Your Eternal Omnipresence.
14
The True Self cannot leave Your Omnipresence.
It pervades, yet is beyond the field of action
and inaction, dishonor and honor, cause and
effect, life and death, immanence and
transcendence.
15
According to Our Word, the ultimate goal of
life, as spirit, is reunion with You, the Eternal,
Divine Intelligence. This experience is a
reawakening, a return to the Source of all
consciousness, awareness, and intelligence.
16
We think of You as the One Enduring
Spiritual Principle, the All Attractive Love.
Within and beyond all genders, non-genders
and species of life, You are the One
Fundamental Quintessence, the One that is
within and beyond gross and subtle, past
and future. You are the Eternal Now.
17
For Our Word, the material world is, always
has been, and always will be a place of
ignorance where the suffering cycles of
oppressive and exploitative birth, disease,
old - age and death are constantly taking
place.
18
Our Word is presented as an offering to
You. In this way, we associate with You.
By Your association, our consciousness
awareness, and intelligence are purified.
Gradually, we awaken, back into our
Eternal Spiritual World.
