Let me ask you a few questions. Do you believe that God has all the answers on all those eternal questions about happiness, purpose of life, life after death, and so on as well as on all the questions of modern scientists? Do you believe that God is our Parent? Parents naturally teach their children about everything they know. So, why then do we have to go and study in school and college, where they don’t even know all the answers? Can’t we just learn directly from God, our Parent?

Truth is, we got disconnected from God sometimes in the beginning of human history. That’s explains why humankind has a history of ignorance, promiscuity, violence and suffering. It is like learning without true parental advise and guidance.  We have a long history of learning everything through human trial-and-error experience, without being able to listen to God. Apparently, such learning is not very effective either. It does not remains for long in the memory of generations. Many of the same mistakes were repeated again and again by every generation.

What would be the alternative way of learning about everything? It is learning together with our Parent God. How to do that? We need to re-connect our mind and spirit with God, so we can be guided by God in our daily lives. It will not be a quick and easy process, much like learning to walk for a baby. We have to expect a period of difficulties of understanding and accepting things. But through our experience of conversations with God in prayer and meditation, and practice of guidance we received from God in our actions, everything will become clear and all puzzle pieces will come together. We would not need to believe in God in order to live graceful life. Our experiences with God will turn us from the one who believes into the one who knows God. The one who can directly connect and learn from God.

What is the steps to re-connection, to becoming One with God? It is a process called restoration or re-creation. We have to apply here the same Principles that God used to “create” us. What are those Principles or should we say Laws? They are the ones that Jesus mentioned, Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself [Matthew 22:36-40]. This passage refers to two major Principles of Creation – 1) Living for Greater Good (God) and 2) Living for the sake of other people and yourself.

How to practice Love for God? By living for Greater Good, for the whole purpose of the universe and human society. What is this purpose? It is peace, mutual prosperity and advancement of talents and virtues. So, how do we live this way? By becoming a leader and owner of common Greater Good vision. By taking responsibility to better any field of human endeavor which we feel partial about, which we have interest in. Not only field of entertainment and hobby, but, most importantly, field of politics, economy, social relationship, international diplomacy and so on. These are the fields that urgently awaiting leaders with desire to live for Greater Good and apply Principles of True Love.

How to practice Love for neighbors and yourself? By living for the sake of others, helping first, giving unconditionally. When we give sincerely, from heart – the greater happiness will come to us and sooth our heart, the people we helped will follow us, become our friends and support us as well.

However, we shouldn’t forget loving ourselves, respecting who we are, pursuing our personal dreams, developing virtues and talents in order to mature physically and spiritually. Because it is a foundation for us to love others. Who wants to be loved by someone with low self esteem, by someone who cannot even take care of himself or herself? Such people cannot love unconditionally, from heart. Deep inside they want others to take care of them and make them feel good. Therefore they show love in order to get what they want. Please don’t misunderstand this point, I am not talking about person’s external actions we can see, but about internal motivation we often don’t see.

I hope you got a picture of what it means to become One with God. It is not a lonely journey of a saint in the mountainous wilderness, but a tightly-scheduled lifestyle of a leader with Great Vision and strong Desire. Are you ready to become such leader? You may not know that you are, just like Neo.
