Infinite Way Writings
| Weekly Passage - for week of 8/17/08
"When we throw a bomb at somebody else -- an atomic bomb or a bomb of hatred or gossip -- or if we kill in self-defense, we are doing just what the world is doing: we are operating from the standpoint of the law of self-preservation, and the self we are trying to preserve is a finite sense of self that has no contact with God. That is why we are trying to save it. If we understood our true identity as one with God, we would not have to try to save it. God can govern and care for His own universe." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "The Contemplative Life" Return to the 2008 Weekly Passage Archive Page |
