Is There More Than One God?

by Rev. Frances Montgomery

As an avid reader, many things grab my attention; some I absorb, some I discard. Some of the ideas rolling around in my mind today are seeds planted from recent readings. Some sound pretty far fetched but what if there is some truth in them? What if we are only beginning to be capable of comprehending what life is really about? Or how very far reaching things are? Or how very many levels of understanding or spiritual planes or experiences we must endure to actually reach back to the Oneness we believe we are supposed to achieve—Oneness with Infinite Intelligence—the Ultimate God Entity or Spirit or Force of Intelligence which we fully acknowledge is beyond our comprehension? We realize we cannot comprehend infinity.

My mental ramblings today are prompted by the book Journey of Souls, by Michael Newton, PhD. His experience has caused him to think there may be one god assigned to each world throughout the universe who reports to another higher level of consciousness beyond that. While we do not embrace an anthropomorphic God (God in the image of man), but rather an androgynous spirit—male/female and all encompassing, what if there are more than one of these entities at different planes of understanding?

Then: What if the wheels, which were things people recognized for carts and chariots in Biblical times were words they knew but the things they were describing in Ezekiel Chapter 1 were actually space ships coming in from the sky? Looking like saucers, perhaps, or giant wheels manned by people or intelligent entities? Biblical people didn't have the vocabulary to describe things as we could today. They couldn't even conceive of flying at that point. I read that a scientist at Wright Patterson Air Force Base took the dimensions from Ezekiel and built what had been described in a scale model ending up with a space ship prototype like the UFO's that we have many account of starting in the 1950's. That was in one of Jess Stearn's books.

What if, since we recognize Natural Law dictates that it takes a male and a female to impregnate a woman (at least until modern science recently started in vitro fertilization) Mary was impregnated by a space entity rather than by the Holy Ghost? Jesus was the result. Jesus came from a Higher Source, regardless of exactly HOW that came to be. Jesus came to end the era of burnt sacrifices/offerings; the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth mentality and to teach love for yourself and those around you. He came as the last Master Teacher to walk the face of the earth.

Does it actually make any difference HOW he got here? What if some Spiritual Force beyond our comprehension saw that earth wasn't progressing according to plans originally set forth and utilized a method incomprehensible to people on the earth at that time to raise and correct the teachings and vibrations accepted as standard practice then? It certainly altered the whole course of history!

What if there really IS more than one God? Would it make any difference to you or to me? What if there are, as science is discovering, many more Galaxies, many more Planets, many more Milky Way systems out there who are populated with intelligent beings, whether in a form we humans recognize or in other forms which we are unable to comprehend? Mankind is searching for intelligent life, basically as we are able to recognize it. What if it is there but doesn't require water and oxygen to exist? That is the criteria we accept but that doesn't mean life can't exist in forms unknown to us. It simply makes it beyond our comprehension according to our understanding at this point in time.

We know religion is man made. We gather together to share in the Spirit of Infinite Intelligence, not to be told what to do or how to think by any priest, minister, reverend, pope or preacher. We gather together because we learned in Matthew 18:20 For where two of three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. What if the God that we have been taught and conditioned to believe in—One God—were not the ONLY God? What if there are many levels or layers of God Force just as those of us who accept the theory or idea of reincarnation realize there are many levels or layers of understanding from which we learn and which we earn by our actions? What if there are as many levels of Infinite Intelligence, each governing its own planetary assignment and reporting to another and higher entity over a galaxy and yet to another Governing level which we cannot even begin to imagine? Is it possible there are many Gods or layers of Infinite Intelligence ascending up all those layers of evolution?

Michael Newton who began his vocation as an atheist segued into the retrogressions of people in his psychiatric practice ending up working with souls between lives, investigating those who are readying to reincarnate; in the process, the Board of Elders who review souls prior to their next journey do not claim to be either Jesus or God—do not claim to have even met Jesus or God.

Since we can't understand how many spheres and levels there are, does it make any difference to us today? We know we are to strive to be better people on a daily basis. We know we are responsible for our own happiness or unhappiness as we obey or disobey Natures Physical and Spiritual Laws. We know we are to emulate the last and greatest Master Teacher spirit has provided us on this earth plane: Jesus.

I do not ask you to believe or accept anything I have thought or written. I give this to stimulate your minds, to activate your curiosity toward how great Infinite Intelligence is; how very far reaching the manifestation of God seems to have grown even in our finite world and during our lifetimes. One hundred years ago the work of Michael Newton would have been called blasphemy. Now it is an understandable work and converted HIM from atheism to believer!

Expand your mind and your beliefs. Tap into the Infinite at whatever level you are able, take what you can learn and put it into use. William Ernest Henley wrote I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. Isn't that marvelous? God IS. That is all we really have to know. God bless you, each and every one.
