My very dear human brothers and sisters,

 

You are not sinners, rather you are innocent victims of a system in which you, the real you, is imprisoned in an animal that has no control over what it does or what happens to it. The real you is atman, sometimes referred to as soul, but what exactly is atman and where did it come from?

 

Infinity, the ocean of all consciousness or God, contains an infinite quantity of consciousness atoms. When a group of consciousness atoms aggregate, for reasons that cannot be explained in human language, they congeal into an individual identity, an atman or soul.

 

For example an ocean of water consists of a massive quantity of water molecules each of which is unique and it is the same in the ocean of all consciousness. Each atman molecule is a unique aggregation of consciousness atoms within the ocean of all consciousness. Now the ocean of all consciousness is also the ocean of Light and each atman is accordingly a child of Light.

 

Infinity, the ocean of all consciousness, contains in itself six levels or layers sometimes referred to as planes or dimensions each of which is denser than the one above.  The dimensions serve as a refining factory through which the newly aggregated atman passes to be permanently sealed in its own unique identity. This dimension, the lowest of the six, is the final stage of atman refinement. Once atman refinement is complete it returns to its true home in the infinite ocean of all consciousness, the infinite ocean of Light, the infinite ocean of what some refer to as divine consciousness.

 

As atman travels through the six levels of the refinement factory it has to function in a form compatible with each level, for example lifeform number six to function in the sixth level, lifeform number five to function in the fifth level and lifeform number one in this lowest level. Lifeform number one on this planet is a human animal playing its role in a planetary ecosystem.

 

Atman is a mist of consciousness and when it reaches this level of the refinement factory it downloads into and fully integrates with a human animal form. This process is called identification. Through this process, an individual atman loses memory of its own true identity and assumes the identity of the animal. In effect it becomes paralyzed inside the animal and accordingly whatever the animal experiences it also experiences.

 

The lower three levels of the refinement factory are known as the creation or cosmos in which there is no free will. Just as a human lifeform consists of innumerable atoms with every atom playing its assigned role at all times, a human lifeform has no free will, it is merely an atom in the cosmic ecosystem functioning in its assigned role in support of the ecosystem. Therefore a human lifeform cannot sin because everything that happens to it and everything it does happens exactly as it has to happen.

 

At this level of the refinement factory, there are innumerable universes in seed form that have not yet sprouted into manifestation, seeds that have sprouted and are at some stage in their growth and those that have completed the stage of manifestation and are becoming dead seeds.

 

In every universal seed is a unique DNA for that seed, just as in the seed of a human lifeform is the DNA that determines everything at the physical level as the lifeform matures. The DNA in a universal seed determines everything that will happen within that universe as it sprouts and grows under the law of inevitability, sometimes known as destiny. Everything that happens in that universe and to everything in that universe happens in an exact inevitable order.

 

Humans are but players on the stage of destiny, they have no free will any more than an atom in the human body has free will. Consequently, humans cannot sin and in fact are not guilty of anything as they play their assigned role in the chain reaction that started when a universal seed sprouted into manifestation.

 

The spiritual path has always been about separating atman - the mist of consciousness that downloaded into a human animal - from the animal itself, in other words reversing the process by which atman identified with a human animal. This can only happen when an individual atman has completed the refinement process and is now ready to return to its true home in the infinite ocean of consciousness, the infinite ocean of Light. As it says in scripture, “Put off the mortal man and put on the immortal man.”

 

In the spiritual process of separating atman from the animal it has been inhabiting one gains control of one's inner state, one develops inner free will – the only free will one can develop - as there is no outer free will. The human vehicle in which atman is traveling has to continue playing its predestined role in the cosmic ecosystem.

 

The spiritual path is about learning to live at two levels of consciousness at the same time, it is about learning how to be in the world but not of the world, no longer identified with the animal and what inevitably happens to it during its time on the stage of its destiny. It has been described as learning to ride on the back of one's animal.

 

The spiritual process by which the sleeping atman is awakened, separated from the animal body in which it has been traveling, and sent back to its home in the infinite ocean of all consciousness has sometimes been called yoga. To engage in this spiritual process requires both outer and inner guidance from One Who Knows. It also requires wholehearted devotion from a spiritual aspirant as devotion harnesses prana, inner force, to provide propulsion for the journey along the Inner Way. 

In infinite love,

One Who Knows
