Conquering our common enemy

The antidote by which we master the error of divisiveness is understanding that the sole legitimate source of everyone’s thoughts is our common creator.
There is no need to manipulate. Instead we can enjoy witnessing God’s perfect timing, direction, control, and influence.
When we find that unspiritual impressions have built up in thought, we can “turn on the self-cleaning oven” of self-immolation and burn away those false conceptions, all stemming from the belief in a selfhood apart from God.
That perfect love that Christ Jesus demonstrated is already within each of us, because we are made in the image of God. It is our true nature to love, because we are the image of Love.
Rather than retaliating with our own bullying behavior, my friends and I, through our prayers, were responding with the healing love Jesus taught.
I tried to give more thought to prayer and less to the incapacity and pain.
I was quite startled and there was a throbbing in my head, but a helpful passage on healing I had recently studied came immediately to thought.
Within a few moments I felt calm and certain of the effectiveness of my prayers.
