How To Be At Peace and Live in Loving Harmony

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." John 14:27

"LOVE never fails. Perfect Love casts out all fear. The God of Love and peace shall be with you. And the greatest of these is love." All reminders that "God is love."!Who would you be if you were surrounded and filled with love at all times? And if you believe otherwise, how can you change your belief?"

Develop complete faith that "God is love." Forgive and forget anything that you have learned about a condemning or fearful God. Release belief that love is a mere sentiment. God's Love is the greatest healing agent on Earth for our own body as well as our relationships.
To be a loving friend is the greatest privilige available. Extend loving friendships to all you meet.
Identify yourself as being overfilled with God's love, with more than you need, so you can share this highest most powerful force in life.

"God did not give us spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind."

A Thousand Names For Joy

Be like the bird
That, pausing in her flight
Awhile on the boughs too slight,
Feels them give way
Beneath her and yet sings.
Knowing that she has wings.
- Victor Hugo

Joy is the emotion excited by the expectancy of good. Ernest Holmes

Joy has come to live with me. How can I be sad?
I do so love Thy presence, which is joy within me. Ernest Holmes

Joy is the realization of the truth of oneness, the oneness of our soul with the supreme love.
Rabindranath Tagore

In thy presence is fullness of joy, at thy right hand are pleasure forevermore. Paslm 16:11
Consider it all joy, my friends, whenever
You face trials of many kinds, because
You know that the testing of your
Faith develops perseverance.
James 1:2,3
God loves a cheerful giver, And God is able to
Provide you with every blessing in abundance,
So that by always having enough of everything, you
May share abundantly in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:7,8

I turn my thought to Joy, which I know is vibrating through all Life. I hear the Song of Gladness that sings through all manifestations of life. I know It also sings in me as give It expression.
I feel the throb of life in all the harmony of form around me in tree, in flower and grass, in blue sky and dark, in the beauty of evening sunset, wherever I look I hear and feel the underlying joyous note of Life that sings and coes to culmination in Spirit made manifest through each human being.
Now, deep within my innermost being I attune myself to the God-conscious being I truly am. I permit God’s perfect idea of me to manifest to flow into expression. I know that I , God’s perfect expression cannot contain grief, sadness, inharmony. I know that in my true self, I am Joy, for I am God-Life. My Life is buoyant, vivacious, sparkling free. It contains all good. It is Unity, Perfection, Love. I so I know that nothing that can make me –the Real Me- feel sad, dejected or heavy- hearted. Ernest Holmes

"How precious is your steadfast love,

O God!

All people may take refuge in the

shadow of your wings. "

Psalm 36:7

"We give and receive the purest form of love - God's love - in ways that are creative and fun, sincere and helpful." Unity Daily Word (Feb. 14, 2008)

No Man Is An Island

Here is how Dr. Wayne Dyer in his Wisdom of Ages book sagely and practically suggest how we can practice oneness:
"Stop viewing yourself as distant and apart on the basis of your geography, or your isolation from those who are struggling elsewhere. When you are aware of someone suffering on another shore, say a silent prayer for that person, and see if can experience in your heart your oneness with that person."

"See God in everyone and everything and behave each day as if the God in all things truly mattered. Try to suspend your judgements of those who are less ambitious, less peaceful, and less loving, and instead know that hatred and judgement are the problems in the first place.
When you judge the haters, and hate the judgers, you are part of the cancer rather than the treatment."

"Use fewer labels that distinguish you from "them". You are not an American, Californian, (Carolinian -my add.), Italian, Jew, middle-aged, stocky, female, athletic, or any other label.
You are a citizen of the world, and when you stop the labeling process, you will begin to see God in every garden, every forest, every home, every creature, and every person, and inner peace will be your reward."

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of

the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away

by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory

were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or thine own

were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am

involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for

whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne (1572-1631 - English)

A chapter from a new novel I am co-writing........

“Div is the most passionate person I have ever met about his spiritual beliefs and says they go beyond labels like liberal or conservative. He is strongly part of a world-wide ‘Oneness Movement’. He says the movement is based on the ‘truth that there is no spot where God is not.’ And that ‘spot’includes inside us and everyone. Div strongly believes that if the people of all nations knew that, that there would be no weapons and therefore no war. He says that this ‘Oneness Movement’ is the fastest growing one ever and after starting less than twenty years ago in India, there are over one hundred million people joined up, and Div is determined to help increase the ranks.”

ONENESS BLESSING

Dear Friends, I have heard from Californian and European friends that this ONENESS BLESSING is quite a powerful blessing, and if you want to know the results of my experience reply back by Wed. or later. Or if you can tell me about your experience, let me know. If you live near me, come and join me. I know one of my European friends, like Diadra Price (see her website below) went to Oneness University in India to learn how to bestow this blessing.
I am now reading a wonderful book called Awakening Into Oneness by Arjuna Ardagh (ISBN -978-1-59179-573-5) . "... there is only one cause for human problems, and that is the sense of seperateness - the sense that the world can be divided into 'me' and 'not me'." (from intro. by Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D.)

to our One Love, Ron
Let us BE the PEACE we desire to see in our world.

Greetings!
What a beautiful morning we have to greet February’s New Moon! It almost feels like Spring. Are you ready for glorious New Beginnings? If so, may I make a suggestion as to a good way to hurry them along?!
Rev. Diadra Price will be at Unity next Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM to tell us about the Deeksha Blessing, or Oneness Blessing, and to bestow it on all present. I’m attaching the flyer and I urge you to check out the website given there: http://www.onenessmovement.org/.
Also the book Awakening into Oneness tells the story. The Unity bookstore has ordered 12 books and they are expected to be in by Tuesday.
Take this information into your heart and listen. If your answer is YES, we’ll look forward to seeing you there.

Own The St. Francis Prayer!

This wonderful prayer can be switched to an empowering "I Am" prayer. After all "there is no place where God is not". And that includes within, and since we are all One as Parts of Christ's body, we can claim the "great I Am" by personalizing - owning- it by switching a few of the words:

Lord, I am an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, I sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Presence, I may not so much as

be consoled as to console

To be understood, as to understand.

To be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving, that I receive.

It is in pardoning, that I am pardoned.

(It is in listening, that I am heard).

It is in dying, that I am born to eternal Light.

It is very helpful to memorize now and to use to "Pray without ceasing" all during day.

More on "there is no place where God is not":

God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent good; all theistic religions agree upon this point. If God is omniscient, then God knows the good you need and want and how to give you that good. If God is omnipotent, then God is able to give the the good you seek. If God is omnipresent good, then your good is already present. Logically, then, there is never anything to seek in prayer but the realization that God is already your present good. Therefore, if all religions are correct in their assertions that God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent good, it is illogical to petition, beg or bargain for God's help.
