“That the message We Are All One, interrelated, interconnected and interdependent, with God/Life/One-another, is the one spiritual message that the world has been waiting for to bring about loving and sustainable answers to humanity’s challenges.” ~ Global Oneness Day 2017 

As I’m sure many of you know, last Tuesday was the 8th yearly celebration of Global Oneness Day, sponsored by Humanity’s Team, founded by Neale Donald Walsch.

What follows is a bizarre true story of oneness, told to me many years ago by a dear friend who was there.

It was a cold winter’s night in an upscale neighborhood of Washington, DC. A group of close friends had gathered to celebrate the weekend. Eventually they got around to discussing the state of the world.

There was a lot of turmoil in those days. This was the era of President John Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a time of rampant racism. So there was a lot to discuss.

These friends were well educated and intelligent, all doctors and nurses. You could reasonably assume they were free of racial prejudice. But, as the evening wore on, one or two of the group made derogatory comments about black people. The others were shocked.

Then someone pointed out one of group, a doctor, was black. The conversation screeched to a halt.

No one in the group even saw the doctor as black. They were all so close they were blind to the differences among them. They saw only the oneness, the love they had for each other, and all they had in common.

Spirit

We have little to add to what Johnny has just said. But we will say this:

You have far more in common with all your sisters and brothers, with all the world than you have differences. Once you recognize that, all war, all hatred, all prejudice, like this group’s conversation, would come to a screeching halt.

There is great power in the awareness that you are all one. With that power you can create, almost overnight, the peace you have longed for over many centuries.

That is the power of oneness.
