"The great love which I now feel for the world is the Love of God, and it is felt by all and comes back to me from all. I understand all people and this understanding is reflected back to me from all. I give friendship and therefore I have friends. I help, therefore, I am helped. I uplift, therefore, I am uplifted. I am now surrounded by all love, all friendship, all companionship, all health, all happiness, all success. I am one with life." ~ Ernest Holmes
Describe the ways in which you express love in the world.
"God in me is unified with God in all. This One is now drawing into my life all love and fellowship. I am one with all people, with all things, with all life. As I listen in the silence, the voice of all humanity speaks to me and answers the love that I hold out to it." ~ Ernest Holmes
How can you let the One draw you into an atmosphere of collaboration and inclusion?
"Perhaps we have yet to learn that there is but one race, which is the human race; one family, which is the family of God, and that there is but one God, Who is the God of all people." ~ Ernest Holmes
Using your imagination, describe a world in which people live as one human race. What would our communication with each other be like?
"There is nothing in the world that can take the place of love, friendship, appreciation and cooperation in our lives. I have thought so much about this all week because these are the only things that have any meaning in the eternal values in which we are so interested." ~ Ernest Holmes
How do you nurture your relationships with the people closest to you?
We communicate openly with each other in an atmosphere of collaboration and inclusion.
Not only is open communication an important value when interacting with each other in our community, but also when practicing prayer and meditation.

"I believe in a direct communication between the Spirit and the individual—the Universal Spirit personifying Itself through each and all; this is a beautiful, a logical and an unavoidable conclusion. This makes of the human a Divine being, a personification of the Spirit; but if we are Divine Beings why is it that we are so limited and forlorn, so poor, miserable and unhappy? The answer is that we are ignorant of our own nature, and ignorance of the Law excuses no one from its effects." ~ Ernest Holmes
