The Indivisible Whole
Ernest Holmes

Our conscious intelligence is as much of Life as we understand. We have stopped looking for the Spirit, because we have found It. It is what you are and It is what I am; we could not be anything else if we tried. The thing that we look with is the thing we have been looking for. That is why it is written: “I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” (Psalms 82:6).

We have stopped looking for the Law. We have found It. In the Universe, we call It Universal Subjectivity or Soul. In our own experience, we call It the subjective state of our thought, which is our individual use of Universal Law. We have found the Law and demonstrated It. We find that both the Law and the Spirit are Limitless. What is it we need for greater freedom? Nothing but a greater realization of what we already know.

We should never hesitate to say that we know the Truth, because we do, for the realization of the Unity of God and man is Truth. We simply need a greater realization of this. How are we to get it? Only by penetrating deeper and further back into the Infinite....The answer to every question is within man, because man is within Spirit, and Spirit is an Indivisible Whole!

Closing Ritual for Centers for Spiritual Living Convention 2013

The recent Centers for Spiritual Living Convention 2013, held February 17–22 in Vancouver, British Columbia, closed with a beautiful ritual created by Rev. Karyl Huntley (minister, Golden Gate Center for Spiritual Living, Corte Madera, California) and Rev. Mary Murray Shelton (minister, Centre for Spiritual Living, Vancouver, British Columbia). In the spirit of wholeness, this beautiful ritual involved a reading of the statement of belief that has come to us as the short essay, What We Believe, by our founder Dr. Ernest Holmes.

These words from Rev. Karyl Huntley opened the ritual, “As we live the ideas in the document and know that all other spiritual traditions are striving to live the same ideals, we will create a world that works for everyone. Let the common teachings from the world of spiritual traditions live in your heart as we share now, first from Dr. Ernest Holmes words about What We Believe, followed by similar ideas and feelings expressed in the words of the world’s ancient sacred traditions.”
