"If we have always been One with God, why must we see this fact anew, now? Our Oneness is as elusive as this world is illusory. Let’s continue to practice attentiveness anyway. Each time we catch a glimpse of our real connection to each other and God, we feel safe, at peace, and complete. This feeling, when expressed to others, fosters peace in them as well. The world is healed by the acknowledgment that we are One."
In our busy lives, glimpsing Oneness - with God, with everyone around us, often seems unlikely, perhaps impossible. We get so caught up in the plot, in the stories we create to defend ourselves. No wonder that most of us live in a chaotic mish-mash of thoughts. I love Karen's reminder that working to become more and more aware of Oneness is how we help to heal. A Course in Miracles teaches us that the way to know we are on the right track is the feeling of peace, and to inspire that same sense of peace in others is definitely a verification of the path - a signpost, with bright lights, and large print.
Peace be with you.
