God is All. We accept that. All great religions accept that and it happens to be true. Because God is All, then God must be both good and evil, but how can that be? If He’s good, He can’t do bad things, and vice versa. Or, can He?

Sat Nam Dear Family,
Much of the time people see what they want, usually at times when they can’t deal with any other view. Let me give you a vivid example.
Ahmaud Arbery is a name and story we all should know, and I’m sure most do. Briefly, he was cornered down, shot and killed. He was black. His murders are white. This happened in a small southern Georgia town. An eleven white, one black jury was a product of what’s called preemptive right. It looked bad, real bad for the prosecution who was arguing for justice for Ahmund.
God is a "carrot and stick" kind of God, balanced through compassion along the way. He supports you, and protects you. He provides for you, and He forgives you. Most of all, He loves you so much that he knows how much you experience it. God has beautiful carrots.
On the other hand, there is a minimum God requires for his favor. The cost is gratitude. If, or when, gratitude wanes, God’s favor wanes accordingly, until God’s favor appears to turn into punishment.
There are three realms of truth: elementary, circumstantial, and Infinite. Basically, they’re self-explanatory. Elementary is your perception of reality as an earthly function. Circumstantial is time-sensitive and is a heavenly function. Infinite is true, was true, and will always be true, and is a Godly function. Pretty straight forward.
One who sees life through these three lenses, magnifies his perception geometrically. Here’s the deal. If you haven’t visited the circumstantial realm, or the Infinite realm of truth, as most people don’t, you won’t, and shouldn’t believe either really exist, or that these realms are the truth. That’s the way it is and I can’t do anything about it except pray for God’s mercy.
Through it all, no matter what pain circumstances may create, keep-up in praise of Guru ji, God. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji shows us how, “Katya duke bukh sadmir, ebe dot te re da tar,” (Oh, Supreme Giver, if you cast a hundred thousand more pains, curses and hunger upon me, that, too, I will say is Your gift). Whatever happens becomes necessary, so no judgement is necessary.
Wow, a life totally free from bias, prejudice, indifference. Lean back for just a moment and imagine what life would bel like if you lived it in love for ALL? Non-judgmental love.Unconditional love. Pure love. Love filled with wishing well for all, and meaning it.

"You can have everything if you let yourself be.” This line comes from the depth of 3HO. It’s our theme song. Back in the 60’s, a famous singer, Donovan, sang a song which began, "Happiness runs in a circular motion. Life is like a little boat upon the sea. Everybody is a part of everything anyway, you can have everything if you let yourself be." Do you think that this became our theme song by accident? No way. Please, let me explain.
