One for All and All for One

Samael Aun Weor stated that the motto, "One for All and All for One," was a gnostic concept. I agree. This motto stresses that we and the universe are in unity with God. If God is All, then we as His creation are part of that All. If nothing can exist except through God the Creator, then we cannot exist except through God the Creator. With this in mind, I would change the motto slightly. I would have it say All is One and One is All. Many Christians mistakenly believe that the start of eternity for them is the same date as their birth date. This is illogical. If we are part of the One, we have no beginning date and no ending date. The real part of us, namely the soul is eternal. The atoms that make up our body do not die either. As the scientists say, matter cannot be created or destroyed. The gnostics believe in reincarnation as do so many other religions. The point of all of this is easily grasped. Our goal is to become one with the One and the One gives us plenty of time and lives to accomplish this goal. We are part of the One and being with the One is our ultimate destiny. Eternal life is not earned by good conduct, it is a gift from God to His creation. We need do no more than get on the pathway, stay on the pathway, and keep walking until we get there. While doing so, look around. All of your brothers and sisters will be on the path with you. I suggest that you try helping one along. It will make the trip better and faster. What could be better than that?
