World Peace Meditation for 12-6-23

CSL Minister, Rev. Dr. Chris Michaels, once told me that his dream was to address the General Assembly of the United Nations. His message to them would consist of only three words: WAR IS OBSOLETE! It seems to me we have seen in recent times ample evidence of the truth of this statement.

War solves NOTHING.  It causes pain, inflicts damage, and promotes hate, but it solves nothing. War can no longer be justified (if ever it could) as a means to peace.  We must look to a new method of international, national, and personal interaction. We must find in ourselves the center of divinity incarnated as the essence of every human being and we must

allow that to be the basis of all human intercourse.

We know that there is only one life, the Life of God, and that it fills the universe as the only animating force in it.  That means the very same life is in you that is in me, the very same life is in Democrats that is in Republicans, the very same life is in Ukrainians that is in Russians,

Syrians, French and American, the very same life that is in Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and atheists.  Imagine how hard it would be to have a war if you always saw your own life in your opponent.

Today, I invite you to spend 15-20 minutes allowing this truth to saturate your awareness, to feel its irresistible power, and then, when you have it in your full consciousness, I invite you to spend one day on the following exercise:  in every encounter with another person, whether in person, over the phone, in the media, or in your own mind, choose to see that

person’s face as a mirror of your own.  Now I ask you, how could you respond with anything but peace and love?

Love and blessings,

Rev. Dr. Sharri
