If anyone feels that I have waded into the waters of “fuzzy math”, then I do apologize for faulty mental thinking, but I do not apologize for my heart knowledge. Albert Einstein once said: “One thing I have learned in a long life—that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike.” In other words, our minds measured against our hearts are primitive and childlike. 

So after all of this what have we discovered? First, to define the indefinable is difficult but necessary. From a human theological perspective, this is our best understanding of God:

‘God, the One and Oneness of all, the Great Mystery, our parent, creator and guardian, which is within us and that is outside of us, transcends our abilities even as divine human beings to comprehend the essence of what is the greatest mystery of all. God, the Creator, surpasses our dualistic view of reality and is neither male nor female but is the Mystery of all that there is. God is love not fear, immanent, and transcendent.’ (JC Husfelt)

If we consider this as defining God, and listening to the solid evidence of numbers, then this ‘Mystery of Mysteries’ encapsulates and envelops use all and this settles the explosive issue and puts to rest the concept of ‘my god vs. your god.’ 

Second, we have an alternative to the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which is Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. This is a Holistic Trinity that comes from God and is God as well as each part being intrinsically unique.

From an esoteric or metaphysical viewpoint, we discover that Humanity is the connecting link or ‘Rainbow Bridge’ between Spirit (Heaven) and Matter (Earth) providing the opportunity for the unity of heaven and earth.

Our triad of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, representing humanity’s perspective of the threefold nature of creation, is based on unity and love. In most cases world shattering, groundbreaking work is based on love not the fear usually rampant within the current accepted beliefs.   

Finally we arrive at our third discovery, which I feel has the most consequential impact of the three. God is pure Mystery while the Created is mysterious (Divine—“and the Word was God”) as well as known (Intrinsic—“and the Word was with God”).

All of Creation has the mark of God, divine, as well as having an intrinsic identity or self. Thus every person is divine as well as human—Divine Humanity. I am the Son of God and so are you and I am the Son of Man and so are you. Of course, if you are female substitute Daughter and for clarification, Man means Human—Man/Women.  

Is this teaching new? Well, Yes and No.

No -- Even when the ruling religious hierarchy understood this, issues of power and control prevented the priestly class from teaching this knowledge to the masses. If people understood that they held the keys to their own kingdom, then the priests and the other religious leaders would have lost their opportunity to profit from their unique status.  

The ancient mystery schools, such as the one founded by the semi-mythical figure of Orpheus, believed in immortality and therefore the divinity of man and woman. An initiate of these schools of knowledge and wisdom, in seeking spiritual awakening, “realizes that he is more than mortal flesh and blood. He is himself an eternal ‘god’—a divine being.” (The Complete Guide to World Mysticism, pg. 68) Buddhism also acknowledges this belief when they say that a person doesn’t meditate to achieve Buddhahood. You meditate because you are a Buddha.

Furthermore, the knowledge of each person’s divine humanness was orally taught in Biblical times, but I feel, not properly recorded. The Bible, besides being written through human filters, is the “product of a more or less arbitrary selective process. It has also been subjected to some fairly drastic editing, censorship, and revision.” (Holy Blood Holy Grail, pg. 318)

Yes -- Divine Humanity goes one step further by emphasizing the divineness of all sentient beings (including planets and stars, etc.) and their unique intrinsic identity. Humanity means not only the human race but all sentient beings (all existences such as flowers, dogs, trees, fish, worms and stars) throughout the universe.

Divine Humanity believes that the Divine and all existences interpenetrate radically non-dualistically (non-dual interpenetration - Oneness) and all have consciousness.

This showcases our unity in diversity and our diversity in unity. It also raises the ‘bar’ of equality and worth of every single thing in creation and reveals the arrogance, separatism and elitism of organized religion as well as flying in the face of their belief that ‘man is made in the image of God.’ 

In conclusion and to summarize our three discoveries: if we search within our heart and listen to common sense, we may come to realize that a God based on fear, not love, is a theology of control. A God based on the idea that humanity is born into sin, is a God that mirrors hierarchal authority. Such a religion is born of earthly power, greed, corruption and materialism.  

A God and trinity based on love, is a theology of freedom. A God of love and a theology of Divine Humanity reflect egalitarianism, and such a religion is born of oneness, spiritual awareness and connection. Envision a world that believes in Divine Humanity and its message of purity, unity and equality.

This would be a golden age where love, peace and harmony rule the day. This would be a society where each citizen strives each day to express his or her divinity, and when mistakes are made and words are spoken in anger and fear (our humanity), forgiveness is given and the emotional wounds are healed.

This would be a culture where “turning one’s cheek” and “loving one’s enemies” are not hollow phrases but are true expressions.  It is an interesting footnote that the Aquarian Age, that we are in the process of entering, is often referred to as the age of love.
