Universal Redemption / Transformation On December 21, 2012 - Yes That Means You!
The Purpose of Life is Enlightenment – Who Will Know God?
By Steve Beckow
That’s right – everyone makes it. No more of this – ONLY my religion has the answer and will be saved. Nonsense, this is for everyone….
Who among us shall see God?
When we ask ourselves that question, different answers might arise. We might soon find ourselves in bitter disagreement with our fellows as to who shall be saved and who not.
What lies at the root of our religious and social conflict?
* Ego lies at the root of our conflict
* The ego is our sense of ourselves as separate selves.
* The ego is comprised of our thoughts.
In fact, it as if we wander through life immersed in a cloud of thoughts. This cloud of thoughts keeps us from seeing God. It is the only real barrier to enlightenment, but it is no easy barrier to remove. Usually, when the mind is stilled, the ego quieted, we are able to know God.
· We discover on the spiritual path that the ego is persuasive but unreal. We find that we are not, after all, separate selves, but the Universal Spirit.
But, until we are enlightened, the ego seems very real and persuasive.
The Ego Is
It is the source of our wanting. It thrives on action and excitement, friction and quarrels. It craves to feel right, justified, and validated, and, worst-case scenario, will lash out at those it thinks threaten it or any of its interests.
Me / Mine - It attaches itself at an early age to what it considers “me and mine.”
Us / Ours - In later years that attachment expands to include the “us and ours” of family. It can expand to include a block, a neighborhood, a school district, a city, a province, a nation.
Our Side / Their Side - Finally, after acquiring things, it feels the need to hold onto them and creates a self-interest, an agenda, which eventually it comes to share with others. Up rises the notion of “our side” and “their side.”
“Our side” can be anything — a club, nation, or religion. We bend all our efforts to see that “our side and what belongs to our side” thrive.
One of the ways in which ego shows itself in the religious world is to maintain that only our side will reach paradise or heaven.
· Is it accurate to say that only one group will be saved and the rest will be lost?
· Can any enlightened master be found who teaches such a thing?
Redemption is promised for all
The masters are unanimous that all of us will be saved, that redemption is not exclusive to one faith, but the birthright of all.
· They are united and unequivocal in saying that exclusivity is not true.
· Universality is true.
· Everyone will see God.
· Everyone is destined to enter Heaven. Some sooner; some later; but all will eventually.
Let us listen to Sri Ramakrishna teaching his devotees the truth of universal redemption, another Design Element of God’s Divine Plan for life.
· All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening; but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.
· The Mother will not allow any of her children to go hungry. He who is hungry in the morning will be fed in the morning. He whose appetite is aroused late in the evening will be fed in the evening.
· Everybody will surely be liberated.
What difference does knowing this make?
When it is known that we all are Children of God, that all are loved by Him and destined to be redeemed, each one of us faces a choice.
(1) Do we continue to conduct ourselves as if only our fellows in faith will sit on the Right Hand of God?
(2) Or do we drop that false notion and see things as the masters say they are?
One event will occur regardless of whatever else happens. The basis of all subordinating (superior vs. inferior) worldviews is, by these revelations, removed.
The secret is out: there is no superior or inferior to be found anywhere.
Spiritually, we are all equal and alike, in nature and in destiny.
Having settled that question, what path will lead us to God? Is it only the one we follow?

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
this is nonsense. this is buddhism repackaged for western consumption. It is also forked tongue. it denies exclusivity, but then claims exclusivity by saying all religions that are exclusive are wrong. news flash, even buddhism has exclusive non-negotiable claims. buddhism was started by rejecting hinduism.
On the other hand. Only Jesus claimed to be devine, predicted his death and resurrection, performed many signs and miracles, and then proved immutably that his claims were true, by rising from the dead and appearing to friends and enemies with much undeniable proof of his life. He is the only one qualified to discuss what is true. Only His opinion matters. The founders of all other religions are still dead.
Jesus frequently divides people into 2 (and only 2) categories. Either you are for him or against him. Either you go through the narrow gate to life or the wide path to death. If you believe in him you are not condemned. If you do not believe you are already condemned. and so on.
Everyone will see God. and everyone will fall on their knees and proclaim him Lord. But many will do so as their judge. only a remnant will do so as their savior. Although everyone has the choice, many will not accept the free gift of life from a loving God. He so loved you, that he died for your sins.
Thank you for your comment.
One way to redemption, we are all spiritually equal and all guilty of sin that seperates us from a holy and righteous God. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. It is as simple as a choice.
John 14:5-7
New Living Translation (NLT)
5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.[a] From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
I understand you have the only truth…..
My question is…. what do you think you would believe if you were born in Tunisia?
Thanks
If I were born in Tunisia I believe I would have still heard the Gospel at some point in my life. I think we all know we have done wrong at some point in our lives and our hearts naturally want to know we are forgiven, and that is the power of the gospel. If it is presented properly we all will recognize it.
That assumes we need redeeming and there is something to be redeemed for. Just as much a false premise as ‘the devil made me do it’, and just as odiously arrogant claiming knowledge of the unknowable.
Why can’t you just grow the fuck up and put childish things away.
