I was in a discussion with an Atheist and I was explaining my understanding of "God" and they sent me this. And it is EXACTLY how I understand God. We come from the Fire. Moses saw it as a burning bush, and the burning bush was afire yet not consumed by the fire. Everything is made of that same fire. At least I know "I AM" (so are you) Turn the World around .....

The Christian Teaching is correct : Jesus is God. The Jewish Teaching is correct : Jesus was a rabbi. The Muslim Teaching is correct : Jesus was a prophet. How can all 3 be correct ?
The Christian Teaching is correct : Jesus is God.
The Jewish Teaching is correct : Jesus was a rabbi.
The Muslim Teaching is correct : Jesus was a prophet.
How can all 3 be correct ?
The Hindu Upanishad Teaches : Everything is Brahman. The One supreme, universal Spirit (God=Allah=HaShem=ALL)
The plurality we perceive, we experience, we objectify is not "hiding" or "covering" Brahman - it IS verily Brahman.
sarvam khalvidam brahma
Every leaf, every drop of water, every cloud in the sky, every object, animate and inanimate, is all Brahman.
Whatever you perceive at any time at any place is only Brahman and nothing but Brahman. אין עוד מלבדו
In the immortal verse from the mANDUkya upaniShat:
turIya is not that which is conscious of the inner (subjective) world, nor that which is conscious of the outer (objective) world, nor that which is conscious of both, nor that which is a mass of consciousness. It is not simple consciousness nor is It unconsciousness. It is unperceived, unrelated, incomprehensible, uninferable, unthinkable and indescribable. The essence of the Consciousness manifesting as the self in the three states, It is the cessation of all phenomena; It is all peace, all bliss and non-dual. This is what is known as the Fourth (turIya). This is the Atman and this has to be known.
So Jesus was a jewish rabbi prophet who mysteriously understood the teaching of the Hindu Upanishad and said "Before ABrahm ...I AM (Yod-heh)" (John 8:58) and the Kingdom of God is also within YOU. - Luke 17:21
Peace and Peace also be with You. Namaste. Ein od Milvado. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman

Sanatana Dharma: the ground of infinite actualization.
Sanatana Dharma recognizes that the Ultimate Reality, which is the ground of infinite potentiality and actualization, cannot be limited by any name or concept. The potential for human wholeness (or in other frames of reference, enlightenment, salvation, liberation, transformation, blessedness, nirvana, moksha) is present in every human being. No race or religion is superior and no color or creed is inferior. All humans are spiritually united like the drops of water in an ocean. Therefore: Give a person freedom to think, freedom to believe, freedom to disbelieve and freedom to adopt a way of worship, which suits his/her temperament. After all, what is important in worship of God is the sincerity of heart, not the outer form of worship. Don’t divide the human race into conflicting armies and camps of Holy believers and Unholy Others. Sanatana-Dharma.tripod.com

The Non-dual Teachings of Yeshua ha-Notzri, Jesus the Nazarene.
"God is One, there is none other", can also be interpreted as "There is nothing else" Not that there is only One God (Monotheism) ... rather, there is only One Infinite Everything, and you and Jesus and Buddha and your neighbor are part of that Oneness. It is not Atheism it is called Monism. Huge Difference.
Some, like Baruch Spinoza say that "Everything is God" That is Non-dual thought. There is Only One. Nothing else.

"Jesus" by Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam They used to call him Jesus... they still misunderstand him.
They used to call him Jesus
Long time ago
They're still calling him Jesus
don't you know
They crossed the wood and hanged him
A long time ago
They still misunderstand him
Those who don't know
And in the evening his love will lead the blind
In every secret corner there in your mind
They called him Gautama Buddha
Oh long time ago
He turned the world to order
Don't you know
He used to sit knowing
Oh long time ago
Where you and me were going
And in the evening his love will lead the blind
- Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam
Love your neighbor as your SELF.
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is LIKE it: ‘Love your neighbor as your SELF. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” - Matthew 22:36-40
In this exchange Jesus illuminates the most important Commandment/Law/Way (TAO) when he uses the word "SELF". When he says the 2nd is LIKE the 1st.
When he says Love your neighbor as your "SELF", combined with the 1st Way (Tao) Love Allaha (Brahman/SELF) with all your heart, with all your soul, all your mind, all your strength and Love your neighbor as your "SELF" - it completes the circle. Allaha (Brahman/SELF)=neighbor=SELF
"Love your neighbor as your SELF" was the EXACT CENTER VERSE OF THE BOOK OF THE TORAH. As his teacher, Rabbi Hillel, said: "All the Commandments are within this command."

Spend Wisely .... You won $ 86,400 a Day Contest
However,this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be:
Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
You may only spend it.
Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day. The second set of rules:
The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, Its over,the game is over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?
ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.
What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.
Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.
Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!
Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day.
Start spending.
