A Communion of One


We are entering a new era, a new world, in which we are realizing that we are all connected as one. We always have been.  At the center of each of us is a kind of vast spiritual oasis, which is shared identically by all of us. While this idea may seem strange at first, we are realizing that inner spiritual place is actually in harmony with the one universal life force who is an unimaginably loving, creative and intelligent being, of whom we are all part.


We are all connected on this web of life - to each other and to our Creator - all seven billion of us resonating in a beautiful love song together, a human symphony of love around the world. 


Today, that new world is emerging in this growing awareness that we are one being - all of us together - and are immersed and part of one universal Self. It is the essence - the spirit - the soul - the source of our individual truest self - and is the same spiritual substance in all of us. It is alive and magnetic, eternal and powerful and wonderfully cohesive. Through it we are united with each other and with our Creator, the Great I am. 

While many of us are in harmony with each other and the Creator, sadly some of us are discordant noisemakers, disturbing the peace in wars, exploitation, cruelty, prejudice, greed and fear-based selfishness - all symptoms of a state of ignorance.  Those who are out of sync with the love, can tune in anytime and they will - I honestly believe they will - when they feel and experience the love they so desperately need from us - each of us - all of us.

Together we can end oppression, inequity, poverty, cruelty and help each other back onto our feet and help each other into the most creative expression possible.  The world needs each voice, each heart and each and every life if we are to become a fully conscious awakened people.


Many of us think we are our thoughts. We strive to keep our minds busy, contemplating, solving complex problems, reading and watching television.  Our thoughts are not who we are, nor are our emotions, which stem from our thoughts.  The Great I am is beyond our thoughts which divide us but is in the love which unites us.

Beyond all the noise of our over active minds is a great silence and a kind of vast inner space.  If we imagine lighting a candle within that inner space, and enter into that silence, into that vastness - even for just a few minutes every day - we will feel a change, a newness, a freshness and new vitality.  And, if we can do this everyday -  ideally at the same time everyday - we will grow to love this time of no time, no space, no thing. We will experience peace and love. In that love, we will find great joy and peace.  But, the funny thing is we may not realize it until we've come out of that special time.


That's just the beginning, but an important beginning.  Eventually, we will experience whatever it is we're meant to experience personally during that time.  If we experience love, even the tiniest bit, then we have experienced God, the Beloved. We will experience Beingness as well, both aspects of God, the yin and yang of divinity, the feminine and masculine - the doing and the being of God and of ourselves, also. We may realize that we were indeed made in God's image, an image of both aspects of deity, and an image of perfection in that Love/Being.


Our Creator, the Beloved, is loving through our hearts and is in that love as well.  With that same love, the Great I am created the universe and is still creating the universe and is inviting us all to join in that love-creation, in the great communion of souls who are all One in Him. Life is sacred, more precious than we have ever realized and each one of us is cherished by God more than we can comprehend. As we honor another, we honor God who is in that other and who is also simultaneously in us. If we can love ourselves, we will love others because we are the same One.

When we can get beyond our fear and step around that wall we've built inside ourselves to separate ourselves from another, we will open our eyes and hearts to embrace each other and love each other as God loves - all of us - with no exception.
