Regardless of when and how division and hatred began, the greater question is whether genuine reformation, forgiveness, love, and unity are possible in the face of these plagues.
What a difference it would make to consider the possibility that the root of every problem is a theological need and that every solution is in understanding more about God.
Even as the form of our experience changes from day to day, year to year, the substance of the actual good of our lives never changes, because it has its source in the unalterable nature of God as divine Love and Life.
Absolute faith in God might seem an impossible requirement, until we realize that full faith in God is natural to us all, for God is the source of our faith.
If unvarying good is the fact of being, and we’re each actually spiritual, then illness, discord, accident, and injustice have no standing in this spiritual creation. Here is a “new normal” to be reckoned with!
On the basis that Truth’s infinitude leaves no room for lies, we discern that God is the true wellspring of all thought and action, and that therefore none of God’s children can perpetrate or be persuaded by a “firehose of falsehood.”
Where can we start in recognizing our genuine (if yet unrecognized) character? I’ve found that it begins with gaining a stronger, clearer understanding of who and what God is.
