You are God: So What Do You Want to Do with Your Life?

By Luke Craig

"Occasionally there will be a book that gives the reader an overwhelming sense the writing has been channeled, like a message from a greater source. You Are God is such a book. It is clear and direct and reads like unfiltered inspiration, with some moments that almost feel like an out-of-body experience. In this book, Craig shares spiritual discoveries that are fascinating, but also exciting and profound."

Benjamin Gilmour, author & filmmaker

SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

38207.jpg

We are perhaps at the most amazing time in human history. The current outer limit of science has crossed and linked paths with that of spirituality. Science has asked enough questions to arrive at the same questions that spirituality has always asked.

Who are we?

What are we made of? Where are we going?

Why does the universe go to all the trouble of existing in the first place?

The big bang exploded, taking one core component, expanding and diversifying into more and more complex arrangements of its original stuff.

Birthing planets, stars,

moons; water, air, earth;

mammals, insects, reptiles; man, woman, child;

Muslim, Hindu, Christian; country, colony, conquest;

race, sexuality, politics; feelings, opinions, expressions.

Always it has been expanding. Today it is expanding. Indeed, our lives and the happenings of our day-to-day living are expressions of that original explosion. All of us belong to the same origin in this way. We are all built of the same stardust, wonderful complications of the same fundamental building blocks.

Dancing in the glorious explosion of the universe. The only show in town.

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

Who are you?

Are you your name? Your job? Your relationships? Your roles? Your skin colour? Your religion? Your ethnicity?

Are you your body? Your family? Your voice? Your community?

The ancient spiritual paths of our world agree that you are something beyond the lights and colours of all these things. That you are something beyond the differences, that is, different families, different coloured skin, and so on. That underneath the layers of what might separate you from another, you are, in fact, the union of everyone and everything in the universe.

This is the literal meaning of the Sanskrit word yoga.

The function of recognising this in yourself and others as you meet them, recognising that underneath your differences you are not just made of the same stuff but actually the same being, is the Namaste principle we hear used in the East and the West so often today.

So if underneath our many layers of personality, our likes and dislikes, and our physical differences we are simply the one being, why have we chosen to come?

Try this concept on like a T-shirt. Try it on, walk around the store in it. If at the end of the book this isn’t the shirt for you, put it back on the rack. If it is, you may never want to take it off.

Imagine a movie.

There’s God. She’s in heaven. She is all there is. She can create anything at any time. She creates ecstatic dreams and manifests them instantly. Her existence is perfect. Her experience is infinite in its joy. She lives in perpetual orgasm, ecstasy surging and reverberating through every cell of her body, every part of her vast being. On and on her experience soars. This is her experience of the vastness of herself, her capacity to enjoy herself for she is everything everywhere all at once.

She dances in this way for a time, a very long time. After ten million odd years of ecstatic orgasm, she feels she needs a little rest. She needs to mix it up a bit and experience something other than unabated perfection.

She knows what she desires next: a playground of opposites. A place in which she can experience low as well as high, black as well as white, light as well as dark. From this our universe of duality was born.

More still, she decides a better way to experience herself in all her wonder is to forget who she is and then rediscover it piece by piece. Rediscover that she is the master of the universe, the creator of all things. The alpha and the omega. That she is it.

She incarnated into a flesh-and-blood body. She was born to a family. She experienced joy and sadness. Guilt and freedom. Anger and peace. She felt all of it. She was alive. She suffered and healed. Her physical body grew into greater power. At times she was strong. At other times she was weak. At times she felt amazingly connected with other beings; at times she felt alone. She cried and she danced. She found herself belonging to this place, yet in a deeper space within her something glimmered. Something asking for more. More experience of what she desired. More love. More connection. More freedom. More creativity. More specialness.

Eventually, God remembered enough to realise that not only was God built of divine stuff but that God was, in fact, the consciousness underneath everything it had ever encountered in this life.
