Universal Equality

If there is or would be a God, then all things to God are of infinite and therefore equal value. With regards to its value, therefore, it does not matter what we do except to ourselves individually.

Universal Forgiveness

In an infinite universe there will always be infinite suffering, and nothing we ever do can ever change that. For an infinite universe as a whole can never be changed, for that would otherwise have been done by others before us. While its parts may be changed, on the whole it always remains as it has always been.
The only thing that matters to us, then, is the beauty of our own experiences.

Of Evil and Mercy

Light is love. In this it is merciful, even for the dark. Love spares what it loves, even if it hurts; only hate can destroy. While light may increase positive things, it may not decrease negative things; only darkness can decrease negative things, though it cannot increase positive things. Day casts light both on that which is beautiful and that which is ugly, or is seen as such; night hides both in darkness.
Of course, what is good or bad depends entirely on one's perception, but what perception is good or bad itself, as well, depends on one's perception of it in turn. Positive and negative are entirely subjective, as are all things.
If in the eternity of time, aught has achieved to become one with the Universe or even near, then its infinite light must love all people and all things in the Universe for it to exist at all, and so it does not seek to change them; not even oblivion, chaos, suffering, ignorance, or lack of free will. If there is a God, then God is infinite love, love for everything, even all the things that we hate, and even for our hate of those things, and for our hate of our hate and so on.
For love has not the strength to undo that upon which it shines its light; and hate has not the strength to become one with the universe, for if it would do so it would come to hate itself and destroy itself.
In an infinite universe all things already are. Changing such a universe would mean to remove something from it, for one cannot add anything to it. It therefore removes nothing from existence as that would make it less complete
In an infinite universe all things already are. Changing such a universe would mean to remove something from it, for one cannot add anything to it.
In this God loves hatred, suffering, darkness and emptiness as much as love, happiness, light and beauty. If one loves something, one will not change it; if one loves all the Universe, then so too one will not change it. In this there is nothing that separates God from the Devil; God is not just good or evil, but both, or else neither.
For us, even if there is a God, there might not be any God for ourselves. It makes no difference to us at all whether there is or not, unless we follow it to become one with the Universe ourselves.
Universal love means universal mercy. But what does mercy really mean? In the epics where Good battles against Evil, it has often been shown how, while the evil side spares no-one, when the good side prevails it has mercy for evil side. Whatever deeds have been committed by the evil side are often forgiven by the good side; the evildoers, even their leaders, are imprisoned, banished, or converted, but rarely killed. This is so not because the good side happens to have such inclination to forgiveness, but because that is what defines is as the good side.
If one had the perception that everything is beautiful, one would change nothing at all, not even things that hurt oneself or others. Only through love can one become infinite, for one would otherwise flee from that infinity. There is nothing that could become one with the Universe, and thereby become the Universe, without loving it altogether as it is.
Such is the bane of God's love.

Believe

If you can't trust in God, who or what can be trusted? And if you can trust God you can trust everything, for God is everything. And if God has allowed everything to just be as it is, so should we. Faith is not about believing in God, but about believing in what God believes: that everything is in perfect harmony.

Evolution

Many people lost their faith in God because of the Theory of Evolution. How ironic that this very same theory would indicate the existence of a God. Bacteria, animals, men, gods, God. It's only a next step. Everything grows over time, and in the Universe has existed for an infinitely long time; thus, it is only natural that the Universe itself must be perfect - we only do not see it.

Wondrously Mundane

God is present even in the most mundane things; only, there it is harder to see it. You pass God by every moment and might not see it.

Here and Now

For Unity, now is always and here is everywhere: past, present and future converge into the present, as the infinity of all time is contained within the infinitesimal of the present; for Unity, even the infinitely small is infinitely large.

Telepathy

As everyone is united in God, one can be united with everyone through God. By connecting to Unity, one can connect to all people. One's sublunary form can't communicate with others in this way, although one's spiritual form, that which is integrated in Unity, does, but becoming aware of one's spiritual form one can become aware of this connection of oneself with all people. Try to do this when you are praying.

From Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet:

"When you pray you rise to meet in the air those who are praying at that
very hour, and whom save in prayer you may not meet.
Therefore let your visit to that temple invisible be for naught but ecstasy
and sweet communion.
For if you should enter the temple for no other purpose than asking you
shall not receive.
And if you should enter into it to humble yourself you shall not be lifted:
Or even if you should enter into it to beg for the good of others you shall
not be heard.
It is enough that you enter the temple invisible."

Everything is Divine

If God (Unity) is the unification of everything, then everything is part of Unity: everything is divine. Value all things as such, from the most sublime to the most banal. Remember that even what appear to be the vilest are part of Unity, and should be respected as Unity respects them. As Unity is the totality of all possible perceptions, one must know that anything one ever perceives - sensations, feelings, and thoughts - will also likewise be perceived by Unity, and that to Unity it is a choice to perceive them because it enjoys their beauty -- otherwise, it would not even allow them to exist.

The Devilish God

Fundamentalists turned God into an instrument of the Devil.
