When you know this kind of oneness with Mystery -- or, this kind of oneness with yourself -- what would be the point of words? As Ram Dass says, "The more silent you become, the more you hear."

When people would divide us, polarize us, fill us with fear and make us defensive, when we are encouraged to spend trillions of dollars killing our enemies instead of praying for them -- let us remember in those instances that we are not separate, we are one.

I see many spokes in the wheel. Might that be the varied people in my life or within this world? Each separate and yet mysterious connected?

When we consider current scientific studies of the brain relative to the field of quantum consciousness, the evolutionary possibilities for the individual and our global family are limitless.

If the work we do on ourselves deals with giving up all attachment to our personal limitations, even our hopes and fears, that's the work that gets us closer to oneness with God.
