The World Has Suffered Enough
Ernest Holmes

The world is beginning to realize that it has learned all it should through suffering and pain. Surely there can be no Intelligence in the Universe that wishes man to be sick, suffer pain, be unhappy, and end in oblivion. Surely if God or Universal Intelligence is imbued with goodness, then It could not ordain that man should ultimately be other than a perfect expression of Life.

We must know definitely and consistently that the Universe is for us and not against us....We shall have to learn that evil is neither person, place, or thing of itself, but is an experience which we are allowed to have because of our divine individuality....If man takes his images of thought only from his previous experiences, then he continues in the bondage which those previous experiences create. If we talk about discord, we shall become more discordant. The more the world arms for war, the more certain it is that there will be war....Eventually, we shall understand that all human bondage is an invention of ignorance.

Excerpted from The Essential Ernest Holmes, edited by Rev. Jesse Jennings, Tarcher/Putnam Publisher.

Music from the Heart—Barry Goldstein
