Saul says:
"You can say illusion is created by man in duality or even God in duality, but you would be confusing everyone by saying that illusion is created by God or man in oneness."

JJ:
Since everything began with God in oneness then the duality had to spring from God in His oneness. To say that duality was created by something apart from God is to say that there is something else out there that is not God doing some creating. This of course cannot be true for all things come from God, even duality, especially duality.

Saul continues:
"Thus when we refer to God we mean God and not God's manifestation; when we refer to the manifestation of God we mean God's manifestation and not God."

JJ:
So are you saying that God is not omnipresent but exists in some location apart and separate from manifestation?

Saul:
"There is no right or wrong in oneness. In separate duality such as our experiences, however, there is the belief in right or wrong."

JJ:
This does not answer my question. My question to you is why do you take positions almost daily on the rightness or wrongness of comments of people on this list when you claim to follow this oneness idea, or do you feel that you have not reached it yet yourself?

Also you did not answer my other question which was: "But who is making this wrong interpretation of reality??? Is it not a part of us that is an extension of God and therefore God is making such interpretation?"

Let me rephrase it:

Something obviously made or created duality which includes this world and universe in which we find ourselves. You say God did not do it. If God did not do it then something that was not even created by God did it. Who created this "thing" out there that's running around creating everything playing tricks on us? Now you can't say it is our minds because we, including our minds, are part of God's creation, still making God responsible for it all.
