Fear and desire forbid us from entering the holy present. When we are caught up with how we think it should be rather than how it is, we lose the opportunity for divine communion in that moment and the opening to whatever miracle is revealing itself.

When you come to prayer with a troubled mind or a disease in the body, pray until you feel the peace or the joy of the divine presence. In that experience is the assurance that all needs are met, all healing is accomplished, and everything is in divine order. If you experience the truth of this, you have prayed all the way though the condition and are restored to wholeness.

We cannot have the new life, the new vision that we seek, without moving through the grieving process and letting go. With patience, we respect the way things are and learn to live in joy, in the moment, even in the midst of sorrow.

The most effective prayer we can make for ourselves, for another, or for our world is to pray all the way through the condition until our sense of human lack, limitation and problems drop away and we simply rest in the divine truth of who we are.

There are no boundaries in space. And from space, when we look back at the earth, we see all is one. Now we are faced with living into that reality of what we have seen. What will it be like for us to live as one--the vision of truth that we have seen and know in our hearts? When a new vision arises, the old way fights to maintain the status quo. See through appearances to the highest truth.

When we come into the consciousness of divine order, we are empowered to make changes in our life, our community, and our world that need to be made without hatred and without anger. Love can prevail, even in the most difficult situations.

The importance of a spiritual practice community cannot be overemphasized. We cannot be restored to wholeness alone; growing together in wisdom and compassion is essential to realizing the teachings of divine unity.
