God cannot be grasped by the intellect

The clearing of the heart is the key to overcoming the duality consciousness and the illusion of the remote God. For, my beloved, you can see all manner of people in the world ?? whether they be in a formal religion or not ?? you can see all manner of people who believe they have God all figured out with the intellect. Some believe that they have intellectually proven that God does not exist. Some believe they have intellectually proven that God does exist. But, my beloved, both are wrong.

Surely, that will sound startling to some??that I can say that those who believe they have intellectually proven God??s existence can be wrong. But you see, their conclusion is not wrong, for God does exist. But what is wrong is two things. First, the God, the image of God, that they think they have proven is the graven image of the remote God. For, my beloved ?? the second thing ?? the intellect cannot fathom the real God. For the Living God is beyond the intellect and beyond all intellectual reasoning, all analysis, all comparison.

God is incomparable, and the intellect works by analyzing through comparison. Something is right, something is real, in comparison to something else. Yet God cannot be compared to anything else, especially not anything in this world. For when you compare God to anything in this world, what do you do? Yes, my beloved, you create a graven image. And now you say, ??Oh this is the way God is. Now we have figured God out, we have created a neat little mental box, we have put a label on it that says ??God?? and now we think the real God is going to jump into the box and pretend that he can fit inside of it.?


The master key to true service to life

But you see, my beloved, the Living God is the God that is in all, and therefore those who claim to be serving God, meaning the remote God, are simply deluding themselves. For you see, my beloved, there is a remote God, as Maitreya explains. There is a being in a higher realm that is the Creator of this system of worlds. Yet my beloved, that being is also in everything in this world of form. For everything in this world is created out of the being of the Creator.

And so you see, my beloved, all is God. It is simply two different manifestations of God. And so, those who claim to be serving the remote God will say, ??Ah, but we are serving the Creator. And that is why we are doing all these religious activities, and we are walking around in our elaborate vestments, and we are doing chants, and we are burning incense and we are giving prayers, for we are worshiping God.?
But you see, my beloved, the Creator does not need to be worshiped. The Creator is the All, what could the Creator possible need from human beings on Earth?

You have seen this presentation of the images from the universe.* And surely, when you see the vastness of the universe, you realize that the Earth is so small. This is not to say that the Earth is insignificant. But it should give you a sense of co-measurement that the God that has created this vast universe ?? which as you all know is only one part of the totality of this world of form ?? that God could not possibly need to be worshiped. How could that God need to have somebody in a church on Earth burn incense, and light candles, and say prayers?

So you see, my beloved, the true service to God is not service to the remote God, whatever image you have of that God. No, the true service to life is to serve the God who is in everything in this world of form, by serving other people, by serving to raise up all life, by serving to set all life free. And you see, my beloved, that is why there must come a point on your spiritual path where you face that initiation: will you continue to pursue spiritual growth out of self-centered motives ?? self-centered meaning focused on the little self, the identity that you have built ?? or will you be willing to expand your sense of self ?? to let the old limited sense of self die ?? so that you can realize that the greater self is the God in all. And thus, instead of pursuing spiritual growth for the glorification of the little self, you now pursue growth because it will enable you to serve the all better.

And that shift in consciousness might seem insignificant, but I tell you, it is the most Earth-shattering, graven-image-shattering, shift in consciousness that any spiritual seeker can go through. And indeed, my beloved, there are so many people in this world who for decades have been sincerely pursuing spiritual growth. But they have not yet realized that there comes that point, where you need to expand the sense of self, so you are not pursuing spiritual growth in order to raise up your self in comparison to other selves, making your self seem like you are wiser, you are holier, you are purer, you are more spiritual.
