CwG's most important message...

My Dear Friends...

I am often asked, What is the single most important message in Conversations with God?  
My answer is quick and easy.

We are all one.

These four words summarize the 3,000+ pages of dialogue in the CwG texts better than anything else that I could say. If we could find a way to cause these words to become the mantra of our world, to have them embraced by every society and culture, we would end all suffering, all wars, all class struggles, all hunger and violence, and all poverty on this planet – just as we do in our own families.

No family would let a member die of hunger. No family, except a severely dysfunctional family, would use violence among its members to solve the difference that arise within it. 

The human family is severely dysfunctional. We all belong to the same species, yet we treat each other as if our interests are not mutual. We ignore each other and let each other suffer, we fight with each other and kill each other. Yet, to be fair, that is only one side of the coin. We also care for each other and help each other. We work with each other and cooperate with each other and stand with each other in times of calamity and stress.

I am issuing an invitation now for us to stand with each other again. And this time, forever, not just for the moment. This time, all of us, not just some of us.

Humanity's Team is working hard to create a way for us to do so. This global organization seeks only to send – and encourage others to send – a single message:

We are all one.

As we move toward the end of 2008, in a world that is teetering on the brink of environmental, social, spiritual, political, and financial upheaval, we can still turn the tide, alter our course, shift our direction. Yet we can do this only if we join together in common cause. For it is today even as it was when U.S. President John F. Kennedy said it: “Divided, there is little we can do. Together, there is little we cannot do.”

Now you may not believe that something as simple, something as “non-complex”, as a citizen movement can change the world. Yet when you think about it you realize that nothing else ever has.  Gandhi created a citizen movement. Martin Luther King Jr. created a citizen movement. Lech Walesa created a citizen movement. Gloria Steinem created a citizen movement.

These movements – which gave birth to a nation, brought basic civil rights to a race, freed a people, and ignited the shift of women to a place of equality around the world – all began with a simple device: consciousness raising.

The movements began with a basic premise: When people understand a situation thoroughly, they overwhelmingly do the right thing. When people become truly aware, they become truly wise.

This premise underlies the latest of humanity’s movements, which we have called Humanity's Team. It is a civil rights movement for the soul, freeing humanity at last from the oppression of its belief in a violent, angry, and vindictive God; a God who is Separate from humanity, and therefore in judgment of it.

Our belief in a judging God is what has justified our behavior as a judging species. We judge each other and find each other guilty of all manner of things. And, having found each other “guilty,” we condemn each other and punish each other, using what we presume to be God’s Word as our moral authority.

While this clearly has not worked, we continue to try to live within this framework. Yet what is needed is a New Cultural Story for Humanity. A Cultural Story of Oneness, of Unity, and of a Loving God who would never judge or condemn anyone, but seek only to raise our consciousness to a level of awareness that would allow us to see each other as God sees all of us: as wonderful, caring beings who seek only to love in fullness and to live in peace.

To love in fullness and to live in peace.

This is the goal of all members of Humanity’s Team. It is the natural desire of all human beings. All of us wish to do so – and we vow that we would, if only we knew how. Yet the “how” of it is easy. It is the simple embracing of the singular truth:

We are all one.
