141:5.1 One of the most eventful of all the evening conferences at Amathus was the session having to do with the discussion of spiritual unity. James Zebedee had asked, “Master, how shall we learn to see alike and thereby enjoy more harmony among ourselves?” When Jesus heard this question, he was stirred within his spirit, so much so that he replied: “James, James, when did I teach you that you should all see alike? I have come into the world to proclaim spiritual liberty to the end that mortals may be empowered to live individual lives of originality and freedom before God. I do not desire that social harmony and fraternal peace shall be purchased by the sacrifice of free personality and spiritual originality. What I require of you, my apostles, is spirit unity – and that you can experience in the joy of your united dedication to the wholehearted doing of the will of my Father in heaven. You do not have to see alike or feel alike or even think alike in order spiritually to be alike. Spiritual unity is derived from the consciousness that each of you is indwelt, and increasingly dominated, by the spirit gift of the heavenly Father. Your apostolic harmony must grow out of the fact that the spirit hope of each of you is identical in origin, nature, and destiny.
United Unity
Longer nights and shorter days
Until the solstice does display.
We’ve yet to truly get first freeze.
I feel more thankful on my knees.
When on my knees, I must look up.
Pray to the One who fills my cup.
The day exists for me to live.
And bring me home when I’m adrift.
When on your knees, a thankful pose
Find your beauty, perhaps a rose.
See your smells, and smell the beauty.
Spread awareness, it’s your duty.
The Spirit of the life you live
Will lift you up to do His biz.
Love the fact that you’re aware.
Love uplifts, and takes you there.
Love has always been the answer!
Bellicosity leads to disaster!
Hateful words dissolve with love.
Love with kindness must evolve!
Someday, and it won’t be long
This world unites with “One God’s Song”.
We must see, and then accept
The God of Love, does not have sects.
Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim all
Christian, Jew, one God stands tall!
We must unite, and live in peace.
Accept that fact, One God’s replete!
Thank You, Father, of all worlds.
This speck of dust in space still whirls
On its journey through creation.
We will unite all of the nations!
