Guided by Universal Truth: Growing Together as One Global Family
A Vision for Interconnectedness and Spiritual Wisdom
We envision a world in which we live and grow as one global family that respects and honors the interconnectedness of all life, a world where this kinship with all life prospers and connects through the guidance of spiritual wisdom and experience.
This means recognizing that our global family includes everyone and everything: humans, animals, trees, plants and all of nature. Though we may look different, at our core, we are all beings of love connected by the same life force.
When we pause and spend time in nature or in the loving presence of our animal companions, we can feel this deep interconnectedness, the joy and love that comes from knowing we belong to one another.
In a world where this kinship prospers, daily life would be marked by compassion and assuming the highest good in each other. We would respect and honor each other’s needs equally, showing up with courage to speak for those who don’t yet have the voice or tools to do so. Peace and opportunity would be available to all.
This kinship is not just idealism. It is a vital truth: We are all expressions of One Life, never truly alone. What we offer to others, we offer ourselves. Practices such as prayer, meditation and the feeling spiritual presence help nurture this bond in everyday life.
Spiritual wisdom guides us on this journey. As Ernest Holmes said, “There is a spirit of universal truth, which is the underlying cause of all being.” This truth grounds us in knowing everyone and everything is precious. Lived experience, beyond belief, deepens our understanding and kindness.
Growing into this vision means awakening to the reality of the creative power of thought and the responsibility that comes with it. Every choice we make ripples through the One Life, impacting the whole.
Even when the world seems divided, we stay anchored in Spirit by remembering love is the foundation of all life, and each of us is born to expand, thrive and co-create a world where all are nurtured and flourishing.
With love, gratitude and infinite possibilities,
