Monkeying Around in the Garden of Eden

[Little Rik]

Good point for the inexperienced in the spirituality field but very obvious for the experienced.

According to yoga this physical universe is God's lila or the cosmic play.
Everything sprung out his cosmic mind so nothing is external to him but in this cosmic game part of his big consciousness become small (creation stage) into space, air, light, water and when it reach the bottom as the thought is turned into matter this stage sign or mark the beginning of evolution in order to bring back the thought into his mind.
Very strange for an atheist to believe but that is how according yoga the system works.

As evolution reach the stage of human then slowly slowly it become more and more clear that evolution
must reach a goal and that is to have this human consciousness to merge into the cosmic ocean of consciousness and to realize that we are God.

Obviously we know what God knows as we climb the stages of high consciousness and for achieving that it need a lot of hard work which again is part and parcel of God cosmic game.
As far as surpass God that question doesn't make any sense.
We have sprung out God mind so there is no other place to end up other than back into his mind.  

Lovely acrobatic wordplay ... but says nothing as to the question I ask?

If we are an image of God why do we not know everything he knows ....

I would have thought that you would have understood my previous answer.
Never mind.
Explain once again (free tuition )
Evolution is all about getting back to where we originally come from.
This involve that the consciousness to be God doesn't pop up all of a sudden but by stages
that is why the awareness that we are God and know what God knows come in stages.
Evolution is all about climbing up from matter to veg. life to animal life to human life
to God stage.
Stages imply that the awareness of who we are doesn't come all of a sudden otherwise the lila or
God cosmic game wouldn't have sense.

Hint, if as you say we sprung out of God we wouldn't be an image of, but a part of .....

---

When you dream you see an image of something but that image is the fruit of your imagination and therefore is part and parcel of you.
It is mental energy and energy and consciousness are the two sides of the same sheet.
So it is all you.
You create that image with your energy-consciousness and that belong to you.
Therefore there is no question of separation.
Capish?    

Easily explained mate.

The clergy become so corrupted that in order to keep the chair of power and be intermediaries between
God and the people they needed to create the hell so people would be afraid and follow them without any questions.
 

If the clergy where so corrupted why did "God" let them maintain their "chair of power and be intermediaries between God and the people" ?

When your little kids become men then you will have to let them do whatever they like to do in the good or the bad.
The karma law however will sort out all the problems that may occur and at the end everything will be ok.
However if those who do the wrong thing will have to go through tough times too bad for them.  
Some people are too stupid and learn only the hard way.
