Universal God

Why do people worship God in so many ways? Who is right? Should we worship God or Goddess? Is our salvation dependant upon the way we worship, or who we worship?

From "Witchcraft, the Sixth Sense" by Justin Glass, we read:

• "If we believe in the existence of a spiritual source (God) -- and science nowadays tells us we are unenlightened if we do not -- we must also believe that this source is universal, not the particular property of any particular sect. And, so long as the worship is wholehearted, can we imagine that the Cosmic Being could concern Itself as to the form used?"

Salome, while teaching Mary (Mother of Jesus) and Elizabeth (Mother of John the Harbinger), said:

• "Then let us study God, the One, the Three, the Seven. Before the worlds were formed all things were One; just Spirit, Universal Breath. And Spirit breathed, and that which was not manifest became the Fire and Thought of heaven, the Father-God, the Mother-God. And when the Fire and Thought of heaven in union breathed, their son, their only son, was born. This son is Love whom men have called the Christ. Men call the Thought of heaven the Holy Breath. And when the Triune God breathed forth, lo, seven Spirits stood before the throne. These are the Elohim, creative spirits of the universe. And these are they who said, Let us make man; and in their image man was made." (Aquarian Gospel 9:14-20)

Finally, Jesus Himself explained the diversification of worship and the universal God:

• "A lawyer said, I pray you, Jesus, tell us who is this God you speak about; where are his priests, his temples and his shrines? And Jesus said, The God I speak about is everywhere; he cannot be compassed with walls, nor hedged about with bounds of any kind. All people worship God, the One; but all the people see him not alike. This universl God is wisdom, will and love. All men see not the Triune God. One sees him as the God of might; another as the God of thought; another as the God of love. A man's ideal is his God, and so, as man unfolds, his God unfolds. Man's God to-day, to-morrow is not God. The nations of the earth see God from different points of view, and so he does not seem the same to every one. Man names the part of God he sees, and this to him is all of God; and every nation sees a part of God, and every nation has a name for God. You Brahmans call him Parabrahm; in Egypt he is Thoth; and Zeus is his name in Greece; Jehovah is his Hebrew name; but everywhere he is the causeless Cause, the rootless Root from which all things have grown." (Aquarian Gospel 28:11-19)
