“Consider your own place in the universal oneness of which we are all a part, from which we all arise, and to which we all return.”
― David Fontana
A More Compassionate World
If we can cultivate a concern for others, keeping in mind the oneness of humanity, we can build a more compassionate world. — The Dalai Lama
The Secret of Everything
“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.” ― Swami Vivekananda
Ripples of the Kind Heart
“We all are so deeply interconnected; we have no option but to love all. Be kind and do good for any one and that will be reflected. The ripples of the kind heart are the highest blessings of the Universe.”
― Amit Ray, Yoga and Vipassana: An Integrated Life Style
Eternally Connected
“You are never alone. You are eternally connected with everyone.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations
We are all created in the image and likeness of God. Our bodies breathe the breath of God. Yet we choose to focus on our differences, making some “right” and some “wrong. We live lives of lonely desperation not realizing that we are never alone. We are eternally connected wth everyone.
At this time it is especially important to remember our oneness. Our focus this month will be on our eternal connection to God and each other.

June Wrap Up
I am going to wrap up June by revisiting some of Bob’s words from his post that started us off this month.
“So get out there and tell your dream. Write your story. Write your songs, or sing them. Be the co-creator you were meant to be. Paint those pictures, draw those scenes, carve those statues and figurines. Tell the stories of peace and joy you see in your mind’s eyes in your dreams. Don’t be shy. The things you hope for in the future, when it comes to a peaceful world, is shared by people all over the world.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. You can be one of the many creators who proclaim, “Let there be world peace,” and when the proclamation grows to the masses, there will be world peace.”
Keep these thoughts in mind as we enjoy this beautful version of Beautiful City from Godspell.
Building for God’s Kingdom
“What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom.”

Daily Supernatural Experience
“Christianity is a daily supernatural experience with your Father God not a set of rules”
― Robin Bremer, Raising the Dead, Angels, Supernatural Wine, & Other Normal Christian Experience: Being Led by the Holy Spirit
Walk Toward Me
“Jesus is not saying, “Make sure you pray a prayer of repentance, start going to church, and wait for Me to come back.” He is saying, “You can live a radically different life because there’s a new world order that just broke in, so stop walking in the direction you’re going, turn 180 degrees, and walk toward Me and life in the kingdom of God.”
