All is thought. www.abovetopsecret.com...
There is one mind. You have a mind and I have a mind, but our minds are not our minds. You have your own thoughts because your brain's organization has dictated that the thoughts arising from the one mind focus to serve your individual purpose. But to serve your individual purpose and to perceive from your perspective takes millions of cellular interactions, none of which are individually aware of what you are actually perceiving. As above, so below.
All you can do is be you, but if you are going to be you, be you to the fullest. By active and willing participation in your own life, you maximize your personal potential. Then, you finally have the ability to move beyond your own personal purpose. When you move beyond your own purpose, all you can move to next is the purpose of the higher mind. You awareness will shift with you. Then you become a prophet.
None of us will be prophets. Man, get a grip on yourself. Since when are you Jesus?
Stop pretending you know what you're talking about. Admit it's theory, and nothing more. Then move on. Because you're talking about eternal servitude.
I thought we'd gotten rid of the slavery wrap. Was I wrong?

If you appreciate everything as it is, there is no need for the person to make change. If you are a slave, you should just appreciate being a slave. That is appreciating everything.
Sure. But don't choose to be something else because you don't like what you already are. Choose to be something else because that is what you want to be.

I take issue on one small nitpick (and some other miscellany):
There is no will but the will of our creator. So respect free will because any will is God's will. By conforming to God's will, you allow yourself to have a divine experience.
If there is no will but God's will and all is sustained, exists and persists by God's will, then nothing willed is NOT God's will and non-conformance with God is impossible. literally then no matter what you do, think or desire, you are doing God's will. Your actions, thoughts are not your own, therefore "you" are not responsible for them because there is no "you" separate from God and no source separate from God's will that is not in part his will, therefore we are in part God (a/the "God") already. There is nothing new to respect, realize or with which to come into harmony. We are already perfect.
Yeah sort of. There is always something new. We are made perfect, but we don't harness our potential. We are free to make our own choices, and those choices are God's choices, but its how we are able to live with our choices that makes the difference. Can you accept all or does all make you discontent? Is discontent present? If so, then all you need to do is accept. Once you begin to accept and serve, not only will you become content, you will also live a lifestyle that people don't even believe is possible. Love. Trust. Respect. Serve.
Another religious nut. Keep reading the Bible, zealot, and keep talking your nonsense. Until you prove beyond a doubt that your theories are correct, you're another raver with a cardboard sign.
Seriously, I want to take you seriously. But I see all this "slavery to God" stuff, and suddenly I lose interest. Why? Because slavery is NOT American.
And I don't believe in a God who promotes slavery.

Serve all. Respect all. Appreciate all.
This is truth...
But i would not "trust all"...
Every single person would have to accept the fact that God created all before one can trust all...
And you do not become God... you can attain no more then his servant in this life...

Trust all because whether or not others are aware of the fact that they are created, they are still created according to a divine will. Trust all because all is created by divine will. To trust all is to trust the divine will. Whatever seemingly dark paths your trust leads you to, your trust will pull you out of it. If you get robbed because you trust someone then that is also a trustable action of God and happened because of God's will. You'll most likely feel hurt and betrayed, but that is a how things are on the surface. If you assess the whole situation from a higher standpoint, you'll see that sure you may get robbed once or twice, but the influence of your trust may effectively have the power to show the thief why the thief should never rob again.
The thief becomes a witness to the power of trust and realizes that he never wants to break the bond of trust again because trust can hold love together.
Thanks for providing scripture! Can you please be sure to provide more ancient texts in the Old English language of tyranny translated by King James' slaves?

I will have to disagree with you on this point...
You are correct however on this... all is created by divine will... But not all follow that divine will...
Those that steal are not following the will of the divine... they follow their own will, even the will of the flesh...
Of course every negative experience also has a purpose to learn from...
But to trust all is to fall blindly into the ditch...
