There is one race on Earth, beloveds, and it is the Human Race. All the other names and denominations are superficial demarcations, rather like a red dress or brown dress or white dress or A-line or dirndl or sailor dress. A dress is a dress. A Human Being is a Human Being. Let Us better say that a Human Being is a Celestial Being. Angels on Earth are called Human Beings. Deep down, you must already know this is so.
World peace is an idea simple in principle but difficult to achieve in practice because, as individual members of our species, we have not found peace within ourselves. Societies cannot be peaceful societies until the members of the society look peacefully toward each other.
Some days the sun shines brightly, and some days the sky is hazy. Regardless of how the sun appears, the sun is shining all the time, and all the time the sun shines brightly. What the sun filters through makes a difference in how it looks to you. But filters are not the sun. They are filters.
There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever.

It is the ground of the Great Earth that you walk on. You build your house on it. You grow flowers and fruit and vegetables. Yes, please tend to the Earth that you live on.
In the normal course of life, the consequences of our actions and of our non-actions teach us responsibility, which then entails foreseeing those consequences. However, for many actions we cannot foresee their repercussions. Those situations can tempt us into irresponsible and wrong actions. For example, another driver is rude to me on the highway. Expecting no consequences, I make an obscene gesture at him. It appears to cost me nothing. Indeed it feels good, just, and righteous, a healthy release of anger and stress. But the truth lies deeper. Every intentional act and every intentional non-action when action is called for, create karma, known in the Christian tradition as sowing what you reap and in New Age circles as “what goes around comes around.”
