The mere idea of oneness

Susan Sims Smith
October 2010 (Vol. XXIII, No. 9)

The mere idea of oneness is not the same as the experience of oneness. The actual experience makes all the difference.

Quote of the Day

Everything is here because of love. That's why we were created -- to love, and creation is set up to make love possible. Love keeps things going, not just for now but forever. Love gives life and makes sure what's around today will be around tomorrow. Love sets us on the journey and ensures our safe return. It's about compassion, it’s what the cosmos best responds to.

~ from THE WAY OF THE DREAMCATCHER by S. T. Georgiou
