Oneness and Diversity

Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP

 

Wow, it’s already 5:30pm on my day and I’m just thinking about my prayer for the first time.

So, I simply begin:  I am late and lately I have had several words dominant in my conversation and thinking.  I’ll use them all in treatment:

I just pause in this moment, my moment, and I look out at a clear blue, late afternoon sky, and feel the cool fall air coming through my partially open window.  I am so privileged to just be sitting here right now just thinking and writing what I think.  It is sort of like Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages, except its late afternoon.  But I recognize the divine diversity of all around me and I feel it inside and I know it for all who read this treatment.

As we all become One in this moment of celebration of our diversity and our privilege, we unite in knowing our Oneness and see the Unity in our Diversity.  We are One and All.

I realize that life itself is so varied and diverse.  I accept that the word “Oneness” had no meaning by itself.  It needs our “Manyness” or “Diversity” as a contrast so we can understand our Oneness more deeply.

I say, simply, thank you God, Thank you Oneness, Thank you Diversity, and I am so grateful for the blackness and whiteness of this page that allows my words to move out into the Universe of Love and to be read by all of you and included in your lives.

So, I just let it all be and accept it all in its ups and downs, blacks and whites, ins and outs, and rich diversity.

And so it is Inclusively, Amen.

A Time for Change

Treatment by Rich Kurasiewicz, RScP
       We’re into Fall now—leaves are starting to turn and temps are cooling, kids are in school, days are shorter in daylight, election season is in full swing, incidents in Tulsa, Charlotte, Burlington, etc. continue unabated. It is a time of change and there may be discomfort. Yet, it is by raising our consciousness through communion with Spirit in daily spiritual practices, we are healed, as God is revealed, and we are in a good place and in peace, joy and harmony with the world. This harmony transcends our lives to all others as a blessing since there is only one Mind, one Body and one Spirit. We are practicing the presence. And so we pray…. 
       God is all there is–the One Power and One Presence, the Living Spirit Almighty: in all, over all, around all, through and throughout all. God is the Alpha and the Omega, the entire Universe, the Creator and the creation, all Life and everything there is. And, I am that I am! I am of the One Power and One Presence; I am the activity of God as Love and Joy in the world. I am perfect, whole and complete and I live, move and have my being in Pure Spirit, God—I am divine. 
       And just as I am perfect, whole and complete, each and everyone is perfect, whole, complete, eternal and immortal.  I declare that each and everyone is conscious of the Truth that sets them free—the Power and Presence of God is in each and everyone and everything. I know that through this recognition of God in and as our lives, we are at Peace, Love, Joy and Harmony which transcend our lives to the lives of all.  I know that each and everyone is divinely guided, directed, led and protected to their highest Good and Greatest yet to be as the activity of God as Love and Joy in the world. I declare that this knowing and revealing is healing for all and a blessing to all as spiritual healing is manifested in the world. We are the light of the world. 
       I am so very grateful for the Light that shines brightly in each and everyone and the Truth that sets us free.  I am grateful for all the Good that is manifested and the healing that occurs in each and everyone and in the world around us.  I am so grateful that this time of change is a time for Joy as Goodness is manifest everywhere. And I release my word unto the Law where it is already known in the mind of God. I know that my word will not return unto me void. I do give thanks that this is so and so it is!
