The Catch-22, Rejecting Father-Mother God for the "I Oneness You"

Part I

A term that has recently been exposed taken from a new “higher oneness” philosophy is the “I Oneness You”. This may seem like a trivial point to write about, but in reality this is the heart of the false teachings on this planet from those in New Age organizations. The traditional Buddhist teachings have also been infected with this concept. Because this concept has such serious ramifications to the people who follow this philosophy, it is important to understand it.

Attempting to discover a definition for the “I Oneness You” term by typing it in your web browser to unscover its meaning will bear you no fruit. The first time it came to light was in 2009 when a new order was founded by my former spiritual partner.* One day he suddenly left our work together, stating he had a higher oneness with a young woman who attended our classes, who he felt was wise, charming, beautiful and spiritually higher in attainment than myself and most of our organization members. He stated we were too mentally stuck in boxes that we could not see our way out of. Those boxes were: Divine Direction, duality, control and Being.

How we suddenly had become stuck in mental boxes and he and she were in a higher oneness becomes the most important question with epic ramifications. God was unfolding this epic drama before our very eyes. But we were not merely observers, but participants. And an age-old secret was being revealed in cosmic proportions. What is done in secret does not always mean that it is done to protect an alchemical process for the good of all mankind. Some secret orders are created from a sense of elitism, wishing to amass power and control over others, or to promote an idea that the masses would not easily accept because they recognize an ulterior motive behind the new idea.

Duality and Oneness
Such is the case with the term “I Oneness You”. If you did a web search on the word “oneness” you will find linked with it philosophies of a religious nature. We know God is the source from which All is from. Promoting that mankind return to this oneness with God sounds altruistic and holy. So religious orders have been founded on the idea that people return to this oneness with the source of All and leave off duality. Hence duality is used through such religious philosophies as having a dual nature to “oneness”. Thus duality then appears to be the antithesis of oneness and therefore evil and that duality must be transcended.

In actuality God is of a dual nature and it is that dual nature that we were created out from and will return to – not oneness. Before creation, before the world was, before Light manifested and before Being, there was the Ein Sof. Ein Sof is a term the Kabbalists use to try and describe the unmanifest and indescribable God before form. The term “Ein sof” can be translated as the “endless one,” “no ending,” or the infinite. In the Hindu religion Brahman is the infinite and transcendent source of All. Brahman is the Absolute Reality and the origin and end of all things. Out of Brahman comes Brahma, the Creator of Life.

In Christianity God is One Being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Most Christians believe that God is Spirit and an uncreated, omnipotent eternal Being. He is the sustainer of All. Some Christians question the triune Godhead, and in the early centuries, Gnostics, Marcionites and others held nontrinitarian beliefs. Later Ecumenical Councils, (council of Bishops for the whole Christian Church) rejected the idea of nontrinitarian beliefs. The Nicene Creed was adopted in the First Ecumenical Council, which cited that God is Father, one with the Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father [the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, God of God], Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father. (Nicene Creed)

Consequently, those who believed other than the established belief of the Holy Trinity were forced to keep their beliefs secret or face the consequences of persecution and even death. After the 14th century the Protestant Reformation brought this and other Christian traditions into question.

The ascended lady master Theosophia taught through her Christian Science teachings, during her life as Mary Baker Eddy, a slight variation of the Triune nature of God in that God the Father is really God the Father-Mother. She also gave a different perspective on Jesus as the Son of God. She said in a message to the Mother Church in 1901:

The Christ was Jesus' spiritual selfhood; therefore Christ existed prior to Jesus, who said, "Before Abraham was, I am." Jesus, the only immaculate, was born of a virgin mother, and Christian Science explains that mystic saying of the Master as to his dual personality, or the spiritual and material Christ Jesus, called in Scripture the Son of God and the Son of man — explains it as referring to his eternal spiritual selfhood and his temporal manhood. (Message for 1901, page 8)

Christ Jesus is then both "Wayshower" and Savior in Christian Science theology. Mrs. Eddy distinguished between the corporeal Jesus, the human man in the flesh (the Son of Man), and the incorporeal Christ (the Son of God). According to Christian Science, Christ is "the divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error". Jesus in the flesh was the prophet or wayshower to Life, Truth, and Love, and out of the flesh Jesus was the Christ, the spiritual idea, or image and likeness of God.

Elevating Wisdom Above Divine Direction and You
When Christ is wisdom alone, without unity with the Father-Mother Divine Direction and I AM, there is a loss of wholeness. The outer mind sees Christ as wisdom above and beyond Divine Direction and therefore beyond I AM. We see certain people needing to elevate wisdom for one reason only, namely for the fear of Being. These people might be in the Ascended Masters’ Teachings, they might be in New Age movements, they might be Buddhists and have brought that fear of Being into their philosophy of having no God, no Father-Mother or Son.

Those who are Christians who accept Christ as Lord, but do not accept themselves as sons or daughters of God the Father, but believe that there is only one Son of God, namely Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior taking on the sins of the man born from Adam, have no recourse in a personal relationship with Father God. They believe Jesus is the only Son and only he can be one with the Father. Through oneness with Jesus we can know Father but indirectly.

The many different concepts of oneness with Father, with Son, and the Almighty take turns through a maze of beliefs and confusion until you are left without your true nature of Being You. What is You? Where is You? How can you know You? How can you Be You?

The dictionary provides several definitions for “you”, one being “one, anyone”. We as human beings all have one common name and it is “you”. Everyone is a “you” and “one” in that you. What gives us individuality is how we express that you. We can be a “you can” a “you being” a “you have” or a “you want”. And from those different expressions one can choose to be one with each other or one alone. We can see ourselves as “one with you” or “one” without “you”. It is a choice and through that choice we receive from our own inner vision of who we believe we are and who we want to be.

But beyond time and space there is “You” from where we derive our individual I-dentity. The One “You” gives birth to the son and daughter “yous”. Through the “You,” “you” is born as “I”, but the “You” is in Spirit and the “you” is in matter. The “I” brings your identity in that “you” and through the Mother aspect of “Ma”-ter you receive the “am” or Mother aspect. Now you can say and be “I am”.  The “you” can choose to be I am “free”, I am “sick”, I am “happy”, I am “poor” or any almost infinite possibilities. You are now qualifying the Mater Light that “you” are created from with infinite possibilities of being.

Being Mother
But we are not here in the matter plane to just be anything we want. We are here to Be More “am” or “Ma” (Mother). We are here to bring “More” through Being. You can see the importance of Being. But the opposition to Being here in the Mater plane is great because the fallen angels have been cast into the earth after the Great Rebellion against Being God's Will, which preceded the coming of the sons and daughters of God to earth. Within Revelation, chapter 17, the story of the angels and the persecution of the woman and her seed is unfolded.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Rev. 17:13 -16

In this chapter God reveals how the dragon, the serpent, satan and the devil, is overcome through the hand of God. Whatever the dragon does to persecute and accuse the brethren, the Way is provided to prevent any harm coming to the woman and her seed. How do the children of God stay out of harm’s way? The woman is protected as she is one with the Father and knows the Father’s Will. How will the children know the Will of the Father and also follow the Will of God and His Divine Direction? They are given the Son, which gives them discernment. But before they can have this discernment of the Christ Son, they must first choose to Be one with the Mother.

This is the message of the Skekinah Glory. The Shekinah was first evident when the Israelites set out from Succoth in their escape from Egypt. There it appeared as a cloudy pillar in the day and a fiery pillar by night:

“By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.” (Exodus 13:20-22)

Shekinah means the “indwelling Presence”. It is the visible ray of Light from the Divine Presence. Where do we find our own “indwelling Presence”? In the I AM Presence, the Divine Presence of God that is untouched by the physical mistakes of man. The Presence of I AM remains in Spirit, while a portion of that Being, the feminine half, enters the physical realm or Mater clothed in a soul vehicle. There she experiences being separated from her Spiritual masculine side of I AM. She, as I am, learns through trial and error how to return to wholeness.

She must first learn to love I AM. But she does not know that I AM even exists. She only knows I am. If there is love in her Being for God, she will be drawn to seek out a way to express that love. One way to express her love for God is to take up prayer and other spiritual practices. Over time she will grow in her love for reunion with God. Striving for unity and wholeness, she will find I AM in the secret chamber of her heart. But in order to get to the inner heart she must accept her purity.

To guard her purity and learn to Be that purity, regardless of the resistance, she will need victories in Being. After many victories in Being the Christ Self, following in the footsteps of Jesus or other saints who walked the path of Being, she will merge with the Christ principle. In the process of learning to Be in purity and walk in the footsteps of Christ, the Mother and Son will join together in the alchemical marriage, after donning the wedding garment. The soul will have permanently fused with the Christ Self and I AM.

You may enter that reunion only with the wedding garment surrounding the soul, which is created from love. There are many initiations won in victory that comprise that wedding garment. The four lower bodies need to be purified. The mind needs to be purified. The heart needs to be purified. The soul needs to be healed. Each time you choose to Be Love in action, another layer of that wedding garment is created around the soul, so that by the time you enter that doorway into the inner heart chamber, you are clothed in the love of Father-Mother God, lighting the world with I AM You. The “I” of your unique individuality, the “am” of Being the purified Mother Light and the “you” from the universal “You”.

Opening the Heart to Father
The key to passing these initiations to reach unity with “You” is opening your heart to Father. Father provides the Way. He is the Lawgiver and the Protector and the Will and Direction. The biggest obstacle to reunion with the Father is pride. The second biggest obstacle is lack of self-worth. The first obstacle can be overcome by using your vision in purity. The second obstacle can be overcome by using your vision in purity! They both have the same God-Vision, and its loss through doubt and fear, is the key to weaving the wedding garment and the permanent fusion of the soul yearning for wholeness with God. Returning to Revelations and chapter 17, the dragon, the serpent, questioned God’s Will. This questioning led to fear in God’s Will and how the angels would be affected by God’s plan. They lost the vision. Because they could no longer see God’s Will as good for them, they fell into fear and self-pity. Those who had the vision but disagreed with God’s plan fell because they believed their vision was better than God’s! Pride was born. Thereby some angels fell from fear and some fell in pride. Revelation says the dragon was wroth with the woman.

"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Those who fell in pride were angry. When they fell they knew the plan of God and they wanted to prove God wrong and themselves right. Their anger was not directed at God the Father, but God the Mother. She is the woman clothed with the Sun. Behind her is the Father, the Sun. Where the Father IS IS the Mother. Where she stands, there is the Father behind her, never separated, the twain as One. The fallen angels could not stop the Father as they were cast out of the Spiritual realm. They were cast out into the earth, the physical realm of Mater. There they sought to make war with the woman and her seed, the Christ Son.

In Part II the fall of Eve in doubt, losing God-Direction and Adam's question of Eve's wisdom, then creating his own way outside of God-Direction, is correlated with the birth of the "I Oneness You".
