From Belief To Knowledge Of God

What do you know? Do you know that the earth is round and it goes round the sun? How do you know that? Do you know that salt is salty and sugar is sweet? How do you know that? What is the sum total of all the things that you know? There is knowing, and there is believing. You know your way to downtown. You could drive to Los Angeles. You know the driving directions. You know the language you speak. There is much you know, and there is much you don't know. There is knowing, and there is believing.

Usually those who believe in God say, I believe. I don't know but I believe. I don't see but I believe. Such belief is called faith.

But it is possible to know God. It is possible to move from a belief in God to knowing that, yes, there is a God. If you apply the same discipline that you apply to all that you know in your various branches of knowledge, it is possible to know God.

You can come to know that there is a God just like you know that the earth is round and it goes round the sun. It is possible to know that God is a God of total power, perfect knowledge and infinite love, just like you know salt is salty and sugar is sweet.

Knowledge of God is possible if you think in terms of 10 dimensional geometry. You are quite aware of the first four dimensions. There are the three space dimensions, and the fourth dimension is time. The jump from a point to a line is huge. From that line to a surface is another huge leap. A one dimensional creature, if there were one, would have a hard time believing there is anything beyond that line. From the surface to volume is another huge leap. You are a three dimensional being. Imagine a whole bunch of two dimensional creatures crawling all over the floor. How would you let them know that, hey, guess what, I am here! They would have a hard time believing you even exist.

From the third to the fourth dimension is a humongous leap. There is nothing in the first three dimensions that hints at the fourth dimension. Space-time is the domain of physics.






But know that the fourth is not the final dimension. There are beyond dimensions. Angels are beings in the beyond dimensions. An angel could be standing right next to you and watching over you but you would not know, just like a two dimensional creature would not know if you were watching over them.

Heaven and hell are in the beyond dimensions. There's the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth. There are seven heavens, each one more amazing than the other. Paradise is the lowest of the seven heavens. In paradise there is no toil, there is no strife, and there is everlasting life. The time dimension does not even exist there, so who's counting?

Eventually even heaven has to come to an end in something like 150,000 billion earth years. But when that happens your soul is not destroyed. God takes you back into His womb for a new cycle of creation.

God is the tenth, the final dimension. There is nothing above and beyond God. God feels even more amazing to the angels of heaven because, with their enormous powers of comprehension, they understand even more of God's ways and God is still infinity to them.

God is unchanging, undying. God simply is. All that is is contained within God.

God wanted human beings in paradise. But the God of perfect knowledge knew the transgression would happen. And so God created earth. Earth is not hell. But earth is no paradise. When you are born a human being on earth, your number one priority ought be that you secure your place in paradise, in heaven. Nothing on earth is worth more than a place in paradise. Similarly no pain or discomfort on earth compares to the pain you would experience in hell. You don't want to go to hell.

In paradise you will see gardens. You will see leaves and flowers. But those leaves and flowers will not be physical leaves and flowers like on earth. You will have a body but it will be a spirit body that never needs to see a doctor, that does not die. In paradise the music is exquisite beyond description. In paradise you will feel love come to you from every direction.

God spoke the world into existence. How much power is that!

God is One, that One True Living God. That God is a Trinity, the Holy Father, the Holy Son, the Holy Ghost. The three exist in perfect harmony, and so it is said God is One.

If God is One, why are there several religions? Is there only one true religion? And are others besides that one true religion false religions? It is a case of five blind men and the elephant. The five blind men are supposed to compare notes so as to get a fuller picture of God.





God, heaven and hell are counter-intuitive suggestions. If there is a God, where is He, who is He? If there is a heaven, where is it? Where is hell?

Religious groups that often do not see eye to eye all confirm that there is a God, that there is a heaven, there is a hell. That has been the purpose of having several religions. But ultimately the idea has been for the five blind men to compare notes and get a fuller picture of God.

You have Judaism, you have Christianity, you have Islam. You have Hinduism, you have Buddhism. You have other smaller religions. In the Koran it is said God has sent 244,000 prophets, only 25 of them are mentioned in the Koran. The 10 Sikh gurus, for example, would be among the 244,000.

The Jews are a chosen people, as are the Brahmins of India. Why a chosen people? God would have preferred to talk to all peoples at once from the outset, but human beings would not listen. And so God had to choose a people. God chose a people to establish the fact that, yes, there is a God, a Living God.

But the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. The Gentiles came to Jesus before the Jews.

None of the scriptures contradict each other. None of the major religions contradict each other. They seem they do, but they don't.

The Jews rejected Jesus because Prophet Isaiah had told them, a messiah will come, and he will be a king like David. But Jesus was nothing like a king like David. He was last seen helplessly dangling from a cross. To the Jews that felt like mockery. The messiah was supposed to sit on a throne!

But then a lot of Christians today are in that exact same mindset. They will want to reject the Second Coming of Christ because it will not have been the Final Coming. The millennial reign that has been promised has not happened yet. The earth will end suddenly but it will not end before the millennial reign has happened. The Jews confused the Second Coming for the First Coming. A lot of Christians today are all set to confuse the Final Coming for the Second Coming. The political messiah the Jews have been waiting for is to do with the promised millennial reign. David had humble origins. "A king like David" is meant to have humble origins.



In the Gospel Jesus is the Sacrificed Son. In the Koran Jesus is the Denied Son. Ischmael was denied. Look at all those people on earth today who don't know who their parents are. God's message to them is, I am your True Father. The Koran has to be understood in that light. God so loves humanity He denied His own Son.

A biblical prophecy is that the Gospel will be preached in every nation on earth. That will come to be. But a lot of Christians erroneously believe that means the Bible is the only scripture. Not so. The Gospel will be preached in every nation on earth, but that is not to say the Bible will be the only scripture left standing.



Some of the very best adjectives used to describe God are in the Koran. Some of the most explicit descriptions of Satan anywhere are in the Koran.

The Koran points towards the Gospel. Prophet Muhammad died not knowing if he was going to heaven. Prophet Muhammad is not a bridge to heaven. The Geeta points towards the Gospel. In the Geeta Lord Krishna says, no matter the extent of your sin, you can still get to paradise by way of Wisdom, Wisdom being the name for Jesus in the Jewish Bible. Lord Krishna talked about Jesus 3,000 years before Jesus was born.





A post shared by Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) on




Jesus was the first human incarnation of the Son of God, the Holy Son. That was 2,000 years ago. Lord Rama, 7,000 years ago, was the first human incarnation of the Holy Father. The scripture around Lord Rama is the book Ramayana. Just like Jesus said He will be back, Lord Rama said He will be back. He was back 2,000 years later as Lord Krishna. That was 5,000 years ago. The scripture around Lord Krishna is the book Mahabharata. The Geeta is a small segment of the Mahabharata, just like the Gospel is a small segment of the Bible.





Ends up the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Holy Trinity, also showed up on earth in human form more than 10,000 years ago. He had seven disciples. He is the founder of Yoga. Hindus call Him Shiva.




The Buddha attained enlightenment. He never claimed he was God. Buddhism is a science of the mind. It does not deal with your soul.



In the Koran Satan says to human beings, I will talk you into destroying nature that is your home. Looks like He delivered on his promise just fine. You have global warming. The planet is on the brink. In the past few hundred years humanity has made much progress in terms of science, technology and economic growth. But all that knowledge and progress led to human hubris. And humanity by and large walked away from God. That walking away from God creates space for Satan. And you end up with global warming. Satan is smarter than the smartest Artificial Intelligence you could possibly create. Your Artificial Intelligence will be limited to the first four dimensions. Whereas Lucifer, aka Satan, is a being from the beyond dimensions.

There are only two religions possible. Surrender is the religion of God. Rebellion is the religion of Satan. Surrender to the will of God. God is infinitely smarter and more powerful than Satan.

Love of God is above everything. Humanity is poised to make enormous progress but along that track love of God has to be the central organizing principle, otherwise you end up with a big mess.

Universal Spiritual Centeredness (USC) is the foundation. USC means 24/7 God consciousness on the part of every single human being. On that foundation the four walls of justice and prosperity can be built. The roof on top is when God opens up the floodgates of heaven and the spirit of God engulfs all earth. That is a scenario when God prays on your behalf. All humanity is to get down on the knees at once and summon the spirit. That will be a heaven on earth scenario.

The Holy Father loves you so much He is offering to pray on your behalf.

You are looking at one world religion, and one world government. God is One, that One God has revealed Himself to a few different peoples. And now it is for those peoples to compare notes and together get a fuller picture of God.

One world government is a bicameral legislature where in the lower house each member country has a voting weight in direct proportion to its population, in the upper house it is in direct proportion to its GDP. Each member country pays 1% of its GDP as a membership fee. You have the local, the state, and the national government. And you have the world government. It is just the top layer.

God asks for the first 10% of your income. Because 100% of your income and wealth is made possible by God. Giving the first 10% of your income to God is the easiest way for you to attain 24/7 God consciousness.

Hindus rejecting Jesus is the weirdest thing. The Brahmins are at the forefront of it. The other chosen people, the Brahmins, match the fervor of the Jews from 2,000 years ago in how strongly they oppose Jesus. They do so out of grand ignorance.

Hindus recognize Bramha, the Creator, who emerged out of the navel of Vishnu, the Hindu name for the Holy Father. In the Mahabharata it is written, O Bramha, among your many names one name is Isa. Isa is the name for Jesus in the Koran.

It was Bramha who gave the Brahmins the divine gift of the Vedas. It was Bramha who chose the Brahmins to be a chosen people. Jesus is the first human incarnation of that Bramha.

Christians rejecting Rama and Krishna is the weirdest thing. Lord Rama and Lord Krishna are the two human incarnations of the Holy Father. Lord Rama created the family on earth, for all humanity for all time. The family is so strong in India precisely because Hindus worship Lord Rama. Lord Krishna created the state and laid out the spiritual foundation for the use of force to uphold justice. The Krishna avatar was also about making it as easy as possible for women to love God.

The five blind men touching the elephant are meant to compare notes and get a fuller picture of God. The various scriptures like the Koran and the Geeta all point towards the Gospel. On the other hand to learn more about the God of the Bible you necessarily have to read the Koran, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata.

2,000 years ago Jesus was born into an age of mindless physical violence. He called for a ceasefire and new vistas for human progress and prosperity opened up. It is not like the human brain has become bigger. Today is an age of mindless emotional violence at the level of the various group identities. That is holding humanity back. There is a need for a ceasefire. Humanity has to learn to move past racism and sexism and classism and physicalism and heterosexism and various other isms like ablism, adultism, ageism, elitism and so on. Those at the receiving ends of the various isms should actively forgive. Have faith in the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God and forgive. Have faith in the God of perfect justice. And forgive.

The Age of Abuandance is right round the corner. Advances that will be made over the next 10 years will eclipse the advances that were made in the last 100 years. But these walls of prosperity must be built on a strong foundation. That strong foundation is Universal Spiritual Centeredness.

  1. Thank you Paramendra. Very good post! There are many things in it that I have learned from a few spiritual teachers, who "know" things through enlightenment (Eckhart Tolle is one of them, Allan Watts is another -- though he is more of a philosopher than spiritual teacher). There are so many things I can comment for this post, but one thing "stuck out" in my mind. The word "isa" in Estonian, means "father". Ha-ha. It is certainly a coincidence, but an interesting one...

    1. Vadim. Isa is the Isa of Koran, which is Jesus of the Bible.
