People think ‘I’ or ‘I AM as self only their body is not self.

God is not belief. Holding belief as God is holding illusion as reality, because the belief is possible only within the realm of duality. Duality is mere illusion from the ultimate standpoint.  Without the belief of God the belief system holds no water.  Belief is not God. Belief needs the believer. Believer needs to be born in this world. If believer is born than he is part of the illusion.   Without the believer there is no belief.  The believer and his world and his belief of GOD are part of the illusion because the self is birth-less because the self is formless. The one, which is born, lives and dies, is not the self.    The innermost self is formless substance and witness of the falsehood [universe or waking or illusion], which is soul or consciousness, consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman or Christ.  

The falsehood is present in the form of ‘I’ (mind or universe).the ‘I’ is cause of the ignorance.  If one crosses the ‘I’ (mind or universe) than   the self   in the kingdom of nondual heaven without the body and without experience of the world (waking).

In the Holy Bible first says:-there is GOD and then it says GOD is within and finally it says SELF is GOD. (They misinterpret it as I AM GOD)

Spirit is my father; I and my father are one. – Soul, which is in the form of formless Spirit (father) ‘I’ [mind or universe] are one. Soul and mind are one in essence.  Therefore there is no second thing exists other than formless Spirit (Father or GOD) – everything is Spirit or God(Consciousness).    

If the Biblical insights are physicalized than it gives dualistic meaning.  Only when we are able to view and judge the worldview on the base of the Spirit, which is the innermost self, we will be able to recognize the Advaitic or non-dualistic essence hidden in the Bible.

People who are conditioned by religion will not accept anything other than their accepted truth.   The scriptures are meant for those who are stuck the practical life within the practical world as reality.

Universe is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself. Dualists’ sages’ approaches were more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they took it as real.

People think ‘I’ or ‘I AM as self only their body is not self. Only when the ‘I’ is there than only the body, ego and the world is there. If ‘I’ disappears than the body, ego and the world disappear.  Without the ‘I’ there is neither body, nor ego and nor world.  The ‘I’ is present when the mind is present. Mind is present only when the universe is present. Universe is present only when the waking is present. Waking is present only when there is ignorance. – 

Thus ‘I’ is cause of the ignorance. Getting rid of the ignorance is very much necessary in pursuit of truth.
