With all due respect to you, Robert..this is not really the Gospel, at least not the one in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. There is bits of truth here and there, "...we are lost" That is true. And Jeus came to "seek and to save that which is lost" But the Gospel of Jesus deals with simple truths, that in this article seem a bit mixed up..howbeit sincere.

The Bible is emphatic, "all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God;" "The wages of sin is death".."the soul that sins it shall die" Repentance is part of receiving God's gift, but its not "repent...from that which I actually am"-(sinner not mentioned). It is the real revelation, "I am a sinner, seperated from God." Jesus contrasted the story of the Pharisee, "I thank thee God, I am not like..." and the poor publican, who "hung his head and beat his
breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me the sinner'" Jesus said, the latter went to his house justified, not the Pharisee. Sin is missing the mark of God's perfection, some miss small, some large..Paul said "he was chief of sinners." Yet he claimed also he was "perfect after the Law-a Pharisee" Jesus went beyond the outward appearances, "if someone looked on a woman to lust, he
commits adultry in his heart.." God was after the heart all along. Jesus vicarious death, was payment for "all who believe." God is love, man is not naturally good, Jesus said "There is none good but God.." Jesus "tasting death for every man" showed God's absolute love..."greater love has no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for a friend...yet while we were
sinners Christ died for us."

With all due respect: maybe this piece was written with a good intention, but sounds suspiciously like new-age garbage with a Christian coat of paint.

Christ did not come to "unite all", but to select those choosen for a special purpose.

He did not teach "Unity with all", but he rather said: "Think not that I have not come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

There is no unity between the peadophile, the murderer and the liar on one side, and the law-abiding on the other,
there is no unity between those who accept Christ and those who do not.

"whatever our traditions may be", there are no Christian traditions, but doctrine and faith - while Christ condemned the Pharisees for following the "traditions of man"!
You can not follow both.

Finally, i object the picture. This is not Christ - and when it is not him, why the picture?

Thanks Hans

Possibly Christians don't have a monopoly on Christ.

Excellent article by Robert Cinque. His statement that "...Truth...is Love and Unity of all Life" has long been the basis of my spirituality. Learn to Love God and each other (as Jesus instructed). Nothing else is required or needed. No special rules, no ideology, no 'getting saved', no belonging to the 'right' religion, no anything else but to realize that we are all a part of God and Love is the only reality. This is what was taught by the Master we call Jesus, and is the message that is relayed to us by the overwhelming majority of near death experiences.

I also agree with the comment by Rob, although reading it gave me a headache. :)

I would seriously challenge the concepts put forward in Mr. Robert Cinque's article. I do this, particularly, because this article is claiming to correctly interpret Christianity and what God teaches in the Bible.

It does not. Not according to what the Bible actually says. Mr. Cinque is proposing old occult doctrine, which likes to pose as the "truth" about Christianity. Pantheism has nothing to do with what Jesus Christ teaches. God is infinite and part of that is His Omnipresence. However, God's personality is not negated by this Divine capacity, nor is human personality.

God is present everywhere....but, "everywhere" is not God. This is the crucial difference between truth and error pantheism refuses to admit.

If pantheistic philosophies are true (God is everywhere, so, "everywhere" equals God), we should throw our Bibles away. Everything it teaches, and I seriously do mean everything, is utterly and entirely destroyed. Included in the conflagration are: human origins, the nature of the fall and sin, the need and science of salvation and redemption, the finite malleability of human spiritual nature, the present mortality of the human being, the true nature of death, the Cross, a real Heaven, and all the issues of judgment according to human choices, resurrection, and a final end to the suffering and pain brought about by sin and 'RealityLaw' breaking.

Blasphemous proclamations must rise to the top in the beliefs of pantheism. And so they do in this article.

Genuine freedom of choice, with real meaning and real consequences, cannot exist without the possibility and reality of separation and nonexistence occuring. Pantheism denies the reality of this effect, and, thus, denies the reality of the cause that would bring it about.

With respect to Mr. Cinque, this article couldn't deny Christ's teachings more if it tried.

As a result of a recent breakup with the girl i have been with since 16 years old (11years), I have been searching for answers to the empitness within I have always felt. I began to read the book 'Take me to the truth: Undoing the Ego', and have since realized how separated from the source(god) I really was. Although I am still new to this new thought, I realize situations where my ego-self reacts to the illusion that is, and can step back in a unified conscious, and trust what is.

I have always felt (and have stated) that I was living in a world of black/white/grey. Although its a daily struggle to untrain the ego-self thought process, I am living a more fulfilled, positive, and colourful life already. Relationships, work and my perception of life as a whole all have improved immensely. I highly recommend that those who are experiencing feelings of emptiness, guilt and judgement seek such truth.

Good Luck

The author of the subject article, by “Robert Cinque,” reveals an individual quite like I am. I meet so few, which means none
thus far in my life on earth until Mr. Cinque brushed up against my thoughts just now.

Mr. Cinque has intimate knowledge of something that surely sets him apart from others. I have the same knowledge and this is how I know how he is set apart. If possible, I would like for him to know that he does not have to include any “others”
in the world in his public statements on the Power of Selfhood if he desires not to. When one gets to Unity, and gets inside, one becomes Unity Itself where there is no such thing as “otherness” even to address. One realizes at Point Unity that “others” are as much the same “one” as one is oneself. This is where I AM. I do not allow “others” to exist AT ALL. Thus, when one addresses me, unless one desires the ultimate in discord, one must begin with knowing that, “I AM THEE AND THEE ARE ME.” It helps “us both” see the forest from the tree.

I AM the Entirety of the Universe. I don’t say I AM “part” of the Entirety of the Universe. But I AM the Whole Thing because “we” are all connected and One, right? This is Purest Unity Point. It blows all ego to hell. When one is here there is only one thing one can say of oneself, “I AM.” And Whom else could One Be, except God playing, “Me.”

Modern science is fast closing in on this very point, i.e., that everything in the universe, ultimately, is intimately connected and one with all. However, science still won’t know what it has when it has it, as science is not a living animal. But I know what I have for having closed in on said “Unity Point,” and I would bet Mr. Cinque knows. If he doesn’t know, I detect (from his thoughts here) that he is on the cusp of finding out any time.
