Just be your best self? How does one define that without rothers? Or other external valuations?? Just doing good every day? Be kind? Service to others? [/quote] This needs clarity. Otherwise it's not much different than what Crowley said, "Do what though wilt". And that gets dark quick. [/quote] Some sources say, Strive to be more than 50% Service to Others. That’s a rating system that determines where you go in the afterlife or whether you are ready for graduation to higher planes. You know how some are all about self, some are more about others, most are somewhere in between. To serve one’s self is to work and strive for one’s self, to think of oneself and what will profit oneself only. To serve others is to do good unto others, to help them, to teach them, to give them joy and comfort. [/quote] I agree with that. When one learns, understands and lives the two laws as taught by Yahshua, it's easy to do this. When we have learned to live by the "golden rule" .... that is do onto others (this includes ALL creation) as you would have done onto you.... THEN you are able to hear the Father's voice for instruction. [/quote]
Original Message
Is that what you want? to be separate from God .. . For purposes of this thread, assume that God is the Eternal One, the Creator of all... the one Source.
Who wants to be separate from God? When you worship, you are separating yourself from God, by placing "him" in a place higher than yourself. You place a distance between you and "him."
While this applies to any and all religions, I'll focus on the book I am most familiar with.... and in that book, Yahshua says do not look for the Kingdom outside of yourself, for you can find it only within.
And in that book, does Yahshua ever say to worship either the Father or Himself? No.
