Our teaching, the Science of Mind states that there is one Presence that is the Source of All. Based on this, we say that Oneness is the central principle of metaphysics. And everything else develops from that, like a puzzle.
One space – I am where you are and you are where I am, which is why we accept that we can pray affirmatively for each other. Only one time – the present moment, endlessly unfolding. Only one being – you are part of me and I am part of you.
And the puzzle is this – One means there is no other in absolute terms, and yet, that Oneness shows Itself in an endless variety of forms. We call that diversity. And see it as a valuable and necessary part of Creation, to be celebrated, explored, and integrated.
We are one, not because we are the same, but because we share the same Source
And together, we create something more substantial than what we are alone.
The creators of this week's content give us this image:
Wire rope begins with a single steel wire that's anywhere from .6 to 8 millimeters in diameter. The first step is to wind several of these small wires together into a strand. With each addition strand, a greater strength develops.
Any single strand of wire is perfectly good, and when integrated and wrapped around others, it becomes something mighty.
In the same way, our inclusion of more and different cultures, views, individual expressions, makes us stronger. Better. Together.
I leave you with this affirmation:
"I AM the activity of inclusion. I embrace the multiplicity of Creation as a Community expressing Divinity on Earth."
