“The Spirit is a perfect unity and we harmonize with this unity when we maintain a state of peace in our minds. . .We have learned that all material forms come from one ultimate substance. . . The original substance takes many forms; multiplicity, or many, within unity, or the One.” ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 493
In our “Declaration of Principles,” we remember that, “This One manifests Itself in and through all creation . . .,” that “. . . all people are incarnations of the One Spirit,” and that, “. . . the ultimate goal of life is to be a complete emancipation of all discord of every nature and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.” The latter quote may seem a lofty, fairly inaccessible intention, but perhaps that is only because we have not yet fully released all fallacious human argument against the Infinite Power and Possibility of God.
We require a willingness to see beyond our limited perception of ourselves and humanity by beholding the Divinity and Unity back of all appearances to the contrary. It is this peaceful and powerful path that leads us from separation to Unity, from divisiveness to Oneness, and we are wise to deepen our connection to Spirit and to one another, as we expand our view and learn to live in appreciation instead of judgment.
As we invite the Presence to awaken us to the beauty of all life forms, we realize our sweet connection with the Peace and Power within Spirit which flows through all sentient beings. Let’s begin with ourselves, our loved ones, our Beloved Community, and allow Spirit to lift all humanity to a greater realization of the Unity of Life.
With United Nations Day coming next week, our topic for Sunday, October 23rd will be, “United Communities,” as we recognize the need to experience Oneness with beings from all walks of life, theologies, political views, etc. We will live stream from the Inspiration Café, so please join us by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Live” button.
