Adela Rogers St. Johns, 20th Century author, screenwriter and journalist, was a friend of the Science of Mind Magazine and would write a monthly set of Daily Guides from time to time. I remember quite vividly the first sentence from one of the Guides. It said whimsically: morelovemorelovemorelovemorelove. At that time only someone as famed as she was could have created such a crowded, power-filled statement. Today, however, is another matter. In a world rapidly growing more aware of our irrevocable connectedness, such a concoction of words would fit right in. It might be sought after as a visual reminder of the assurances of belonging so many long for.
The sole impulse...
Ernest Holmes called love “the grandest healing and drawing power on earth” and in the heavens too, for that matter. Astrophysicists tell us that we are part of a grand recycling system and that even our bodies circulate the dust of stars. Love is the essence of Oneness and as Holmes has written, “the sole impulse for creation.”
Recognizing and sharing...
What is the problem then? What keeps us from recognizing and sharing the essence that runs through all, regardless of belief systems or perhaps lack of them? Do we so fear that which seems different that we cannot recognize how much we are alike? It has been said that, if alien people from another planet could look down on us from a space ship they would see how homogeneous we are as a species and be very little caught up in our distinctions.
Practice remains...
As a race we have grown wise in technologies and the use of mechanics. We can do more and know more than our ancestors ever imagined. What still remains to practice and spread as vigorously as we can for our own living sakes is morelovemorelovemorelovemorelove. Maybe we ought to graffiti the word all over the walls of buildings, freeway overpasses, maybe even the Library of Congress and the Eiffel Tower…and inside the chambers of our own hearts.
