Humanity
Have we not all one Father?
Hath not one God created us?
—MALACHI 2:10
"Arthur Compton, in The Freedom of Man, tells us that science has discovered nothing that contradicts the idea of a Universal Mind, or Spirit, of which all people are offspring or emanations. It would be impossible to converse with each other unless there were a common medium or, as Emerson said, "one mind common to all people." It is impossible to depart from this Divine Presence, to be separated from this heavenly Father, which is the Parent Mind. Since God is everywhere, wherever we are, God is.
Today I know that there is one Spirit in every person I meet. Realizing that there is one Heavenly Father, I know that there is common bond among all humanity. There are no aliens, no strangers. The Divine Image in me cannot be separated from the Divine Image in others. I see God in everyone I meet, and the Spirit that is within me responds to the Spirit within them, for we have one Source."
The only way to know God is to be like God; and while this may seem discouraging in our present state of evolution, we should remember that we have but started on an eternal ladder that ever spirals upward.
