THE WORLD WILL BE AS ONE

I sometimes think all the discord in our lives would disappear if we would learn not to take anything personally.

Put another way, if we would respect any and all others' opinions, facts and acts including their disrespect, we could suffer war no more.

I'm reminded again of John Lennon's song, "Imagine." All he asked is that we imagine..."imagine there's nothing to kill or die for...imagine all the people living life in peace."

The only thing that keeps that imagined world from happening is fear...fear that I'll imagine and you won't. As long as we refuse to accept that we already are one with God, we will always live in fear that I will and you won't.

But just imagine. Imagine living in peace because we have offered you respect in the face of your disrespect. That we have realized that your disrespect is not about us, it's about you, and we don't have to personalize it by disrespecting you. Imagine. Just imagine.

We have to be careful, though. If we imagine it unto reality, "the world will be as one."

Thank you.
