See the essence that lies within the form
It is the soul which is this essence
It is the essence which makes all life one and the same
See therefore light, love, and purpose in all
Every form, then, comes alive in every way
Dearest friends, what stands in the way of humanity’s forward movement today are the many beliefs and habitual patterns of thinking we have carried with us for millennia. If we are to participate in the opportunity we are being offered, if we are to create a better way, then we must accept that much of what we believe to be true about ourselves and our world is based on misunderstanding. With misunderstanding, no truth can be seen. These misunderstandings, these untruths, have created the unnecessary hatred, separation, conflict, and war we still experience today. The seeking of personal power, which is essentially based on an unnecessary pride and a consistent selfishness, results in that most painful fear and hatred of one another. Personal pride and selfishness inevitably lead to a national pride and selfishness, which have created a fear and hatred of other races, groups, and nations, beyond any doubt. Our misunderstandings, our fears, our hatreds, greatly inhibit the free flowing of money and resources, the free flowing of cooperation, and dare I say, the free flowing of light and love which is our divine heritage. The truth belongs to us, fellow companions, and it is therefore our responsibility to accept this truth and bring it forward in all thought, word, and action.
If we are to create a better way, we must have our vision be that of One Humanity and One World. To heal the unnecessary separation we falsely believe in, we must look beyond the appearance of things, and see the real essence that lies within each of our fellow brothers and sisters, indeed within every life and every nation. This real essence that lies within everyone and everything is the soul. The soul is made of the substance of light, love and purpose. It is the same for all. The differences we see in others, in the various races and nations of our world, are merely the temporary forms, the appearance, each of these takes. These temporary forms contain within them a quality which is needed to make the greater whole be its true glory. If we accept the unique quality that each person, each race, and each nation has to offer, then the creation of the best way for all will become our only way forward. We will succeed in creating a better life and a better world with a simple willingness. Although differences are indeed temporary, they do produce the essential qualities the greater whole needs, you see. But remember, it is the life within each that is eternal, not the form or appearance. It is the soul, the life, lying within us that makes us the same, and this is surely what lasts forever.
My friends, we must practice love in order to make this great forward movement happen. Love will reveal the essence that lies within. We must pay attention to those subtle thoughts and beliefs which are limiting and therefore untrue. This will change our perception of all that we see and experience, and bring forward that very revelation of truth we so need today. Thoughts that bring up feelings of fear, hatred, and separation must be disregarded and let go of. We replace these with the vision we all share. A vision of togetherness. We need one another. We are all important and have something to provide. We want the same things. Each human being, each race, each nation, indeed has their own way of going about it, but again, the journey is the same journey for all. Every person, every race, every nation, every form of life, is made of the substance of light and love. All we have to do is look a little closer. See the essence of each, then, see the soul, see the light and the love. In this way, cooperation is born, and our purpose will be revealed. Together, we achieve.
What a beautiful humanity we are!
