While I agree that Earth (like all of life and existence) is a school and and we are here to learn about, receive, give, teach, and share all that this existence has to offer, what is this "godlike" and "God" that you are talking about?

Our physical bodies are only temporary. A necessary device, if you will, so we can exist here on earth. However, our Godlike quality, who we really are, is Soul, a part or spark of God. Soul is eternal, cannot be destroyed and like Herman Aihara used to often speak and write about, is part of the infinite worlds of God, or Infinity.

God and our realization and understanding of IT, would depend upon our state of consciousness. George Ohsawa's spirilic diagram is a good way to understand what I am saying here as would what Herman would say in terms of speaking about Supreme Judgment and all the other levels or degrees of consciousness. This is why there are so many different religions. Each represents a different level of consciousness. When people's awareness of God and Infinity expand, that is their consciousness increases, sometimes people have the strength to leave their birth religions and move on to others. Mostly, people's beliefs stay safely within the labels of their birth religions, but they tailor their beliefs in league with their level of consciousness or in essence their realization and understanding of God.

And exactly what do you mean by serve? What is this service?

Herman Aihara said it well when he described living things as capable of being receivers of infinity. Likewise, we can tune into BayWatch etc the choice is ours as to where we put our attention. Service is merely being open to Spirit and doing our best to listen to the inner direction given us. Often that can mean keeping our own counsel and not interfering with the spiritual lessons of others. The middle way, as Buddha, spoke of, provides a more balanced way of moving through life. Perhaps a little Baywatch and some Infinity and little of this and that etc.

Assuming that the reader has no experience or reference to this "God", how would you explain it in your own terms?

See my paragraph on consciousness.

Thank you, very much.

With warm regards, love, and peace,
