ONENESS
Ernest Holmes

There is One Spirit incarnated in everyone, an immortal Presence forever expanding everything, causing everything to grow. What a difference it would make in our human relations if we tried to sense the meaning of this Divine incarnation in all people and adjust our viewpoint to the truth that all are bound together in the unity of God! While we may think otherwise, behind all this vast array of life there can be but one common Cause, one Universal Mind, one Infinite Spirit flowing into, through, and becoming everything.

We are so used to seeing ourselves as separate from each other that we suspect the very feeling and emotion that causes us to embrace everything in love. But the person who loves the most will live the most. We meet each other only in fragments, only partially, when we refuse to open the whole avenue of our consciousness to the realization that there is but one living Spirit in, over, and through all. If our human relations are to mean the most to us, we must sense that there is within everyone a Divine Presence manifesting Itself in infinite variations—the same impulse, the same love and life, but never quite alike in any two persons.

Oneness Goes Global: New Film Shows Us How
Rev. Mark Gilbert

The Science of Mind and Spirit teaches that we are all part of an interconnected Oneness. In their latest film Globalized Soul, filmmakers Kell Kearns and Cynthia Lukas ask us if we are living and acting from that wisdom. The producers of Rumi Returning traveled the world—from the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Melbourne, Australia, to the rural countryside of India, and to points in between—to offer us examples of people acting from that sense of Oneness. Along the way, they interviewed the famous—including the Dalia Lama, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and others—and the not-so-famous about ways to live from the heart.  Do you have a “globalized soul?”  For more information and to watch a trailer of the movie, click here.
