On Vedanta

“I am God” (aham brahmasm), the Supreme Truth of Vedanta, is only half the truth.

The Supreme Consciousness at the center of our being, or the Self, also called Atman, is only just that, consciousness of the Spirit Within the Soul, the God within us, or at least consciousness of the Soul Within. But real “God Consciousness” exists only within God's Actual Body, just as our consciousness exists within our body.

The other half of the truth missing in Vedanta is that we evolve materially, biologically or biospiritually to the God we have so far only seen from within and have wrongly defined as “I am God.” This great arrogance needs to be amended. If we want to be God, or attain Godhood, we have a long, long way up in evolution to travel, certainly far beyond the human species.
