GOD IS NOT BECOMING

God is not becoming, we are. The question of our essential nature has been discussed and debated for thousands of years. Having chosen to Live on the Spiritual Basis, we retire from the debating society. When we are born into this flesh we are tabula rasa, a clean slate. We begin life demanding the world address our needs, voicing our displeasure with conditions in no uncertain terms, refusing all attempts to quiet us until we get what we want. It is a good thing babies are cute and loved unconditionally or there would be far fewer people. As we become aware we begin to make informed decisions rather than just reacting to a need. Will I eat the peas or toss them? The door is open so I think I will take a stroll and the ultimate indication of having crossed the line: when we discover the power of No. No to peas, No to baths, No to naps, No No No. This is the first momentous milestone in our becoming, our awakening. We typically don’t remember the moment we discovered No, but parents do. We march inexorably forward from this point, growing, becoming the person we are today. God is not becoming. God is, always has been, always will be, eternal, the same today as yesterday and tomorrow. He is infinite perfection, all knowledge, power and unbounded love. God does not grow towards us, our heart and consciousness grows towards Him, becoming more like Our Father by the decisions and actions we take, this existence, a moment in parentheses. ETERNITY(birth-life-death)ETERNITY. We become in the parentheses, it is our only true duty.
