Dearest All, as One,
2 fellow friends of the boards have recently, on separate occaisions, suggested that I/we begin a thread on 1) the comparison of ANE and "A Course in Miracles";
and 2)"A comparison of ANE and Catholisism".
I was uninspired to do either. Comparison's tend to invite "differences"; and differences separate, for they are of the split ego mind - they are most certainly not of God.
I am inspired to begin this thread, titled, "What ALL religious works and what ALL spiritual works, from all over the world, through the ages have IN COMMON....what they ALL SHARE"
Here is an opportunity for us to share what we are personally familiar with and love: - quotes from religious scriptures, spiritual writings, poetry and parables that all teach the same universal message.
Here is a chance to celebrate the Sameness, the Oneness, instead of the differences......Where do the Koran, the Bible, A Course in Mircales, Buddhism, etc, etc, etc all come together?
I am quite excited at the thought of this and look forward to contributions from any of the 1,000's of seemingly "different" sacred writings, in order to celebrate a universal Oneness.
I shall begin with a favourite quote of mine. It contains the word "Christ", which should be understood as the "Light of God" that God placed at the altar within, in every one of us, to join us with one another and God, our Creator, as One. Please, do share the quotes from your religious/ spiritual writings that reflect this same message? Thank you so much!
"The sight of Christ is all there is to see.
The song of Christ is all there is to hear.
The hand of Christ is all there is to hold.
There is no journey but to walk with Him"
(from "A Course in Miracles")
In deepest gratitude and happy in the spirit of universal sharing and understanding,
