Love is a language which is universal, interpreted through every living soul and
understood by all. Love will find the solution to every problem, will answer every
question, and will ultimately vanquish every foe. Love begets tolerance; tolerance
begets understanding, and understanding which is able to put itself in the other
person's place.

Love is unity, understanding, and harmony. It is as necessary to the well-being of the

soul as food is for the strength of the body. A life which is starved of love, which
knows no affection, is unnatural and abnormal. Love would sit within every person,
flowing through and permeating one's entire being. We truly live in its atmosphere
when we meet people through whom love radiates. A unity is formed, harmony is
created, and we desire to be in their presence.

Love is a synonym for God; and God is love, the universal outpouring of the Spirit
through law, wisdom, life and action. God knows us in love: we know God only
through love. When we love humanity we are loving God, in and through others.

It is impossible to enter a state of peace without love. Love is the only reality there
is.

One Healing Agency

Spiritual mind healing has long since passed the experimental stage. There are now
millions of people all over the world who bear witness to this fact. But in dealing
with the Power greater than we are, and the Law of Good which we can use, we do
not deny that people are sick or that they often need medical attention. Spiritual
mind healing should in no way seek either to criticize, obstruct, or deny the benefits
of medicine, surgery, proper diet, or sanitation.

There is but one final healing agency in the universe. The medical doctor employs
this healing power through surgery to remove an infected area or medications to
heal conditions which prevent the patient from being healthy. The psychoanalyst
delves into the subconscious mind of the patient in order to align the patient's
mental condition in such a way that a universal healing power can do its work
without interruption.

The physician and the psychotherapist know they do not heal people; they simply
assist, and nature does the healing. This healing power exists at the center of
everyone's being and therefore is always available. Just as the physician and the
psychotherapist have developed certain techniques for using this healing agency
effectively, so there are definite techniques for using the healing power of Spirit.

There are spiritual techniques of healing that can be added to every known system
of therapy. These techniques are simple, easy to understand, and anyone can apply
them for oneself or others.

Oneness

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.

Compassion is Love in Deed

"My little children let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and truth." -
1 John 3:18

Humanity and Divinity will be identical when we recognize Divinity in Humanity. We

must learn to see through the apparent, to judge not according to appearances, to
realize that at the center of every person's soul God is enthroned. Compassion and
caring are the ties that bind us together in mutual understanding and in the unified
attempt to uncover the Divinity in each other. Compassion is the most gentle of all
human virtues, for it is the outpouring of the Divine givingness through all.

When the members of a community love one another that community is solid,
prosperous, and happy. Nations are bound together by common interests and
common affections. When the whole world realizes this truth, it will unite in thought
and in action. Love alone can solve the world's problems and bring about the day of
universal peace.

You and I have certain people upon whom we lavish a great deal of affection. This is
both natural and desirable. But would we like these few any less if we increased our
love to include all humanity? Too often we are afraid of letting go of the little good
we think we hold in our hand lest we lose it, not realizing that only as we release this
good can we expect its increase.

Suppose we make a daily habit of feeling that we like people and they like us; we
belong to them and they belong to us. In a very real sense, everyone we meet is a
part of our own family, to love and to enjoy. Let's, then, meditate daily on this
thought: "My desire is that everyone I meet will feel the warmth and color of my
affection. My purpose is that a feeling of goodwill shall pass from me to
others. Today I embrace the world in this affection and desire so that good shall
come to everyone."
