I Am God
By: John C. Robinson - O-Books - $11.95

Overview: I Am God: Wisdom and Revelation from Mystical Consciousness reveals a paradigm-shifting journey into God as Self and the World as Heaven on Earth.

Verdict: Upon turning 75, I felt the compelling need to spend time in solitude, to live more fully the mystical consciousness I have been writing about for 25 years. As the experience deepened, I began writing mystical poetry in the tradition of Hafez, Rumi, Kabir and Gibran.

Hundreds of verses poured forth, an amazing surprise. I had found a new voice, poetry became a new spiritual practice, and wisdom and revelation now flow from the One.

One Consciousness -
God’s consciousness fills the universe.
Everything contains and expresses it.
The world is alive, awake, aware,
loving, and breathtakingly intelligent.
We each share this consciousness
though we wrap it in personal identity and
assume everyone’s version is uniquely theirs.
What does this mean?
It means you have direct access to
the consciousness of God.
This realization alone can
begin your awakening. [John C. Robinson]

God created the physical universe, and He also inhabits it. In Jeremiah 23:24, the Lord characterizes Himself as one who fills heaven and earth. This spatial language shows that no place in all creation exists from which God is excluded. He is always present everywhere.

The theological term for this divine attribute is omnipresence.

Omnipresence is also unlike the god portrayed in Deism, a divine presence who sets creation in motion and then steps away from it. Although God is separate from creation, He is engaged with and acts within it.

God’s presence is a reality in the physical world, but it should not be understood in a physical sense. He is not diffused in the atmosphere like a gas. God is not contained by what He has created. God does not fill creation the way water fills a glass or air fills the atmosphere.

The fact that God is equally present in every location does not mean that He manifests His presence the same way everywhere. He has made His presence known in a variety of ways and to varying degrees.

Divine omnipresence means no place or circumstance is beyond the scope of God’s presence. Wherever we may go, God is already there before us.

This is either inherent within us or not, but here in I Am God: Wisdom and Revelation from Mystical Consciousness by author John C. Robinson we get to indulge our curiosity, stock up more on what we know, and just lovingly embrace this impassioned mystical poetry in the tradition of Hafez, Rumi, Kabir and Gibran.

OK, sure, I went a little left of center there, mainly because such a subject matter is very, very personal to me, as you can tell, but what Robinson sets out to do is in this most engrossing, most alluringly sculpted book is bring forth his own paradigm-shifting journey into God as Self and the World as Heaven on Earth.
