I Live Abundantly
Ernest Holmes

Why should we go through life as though it were something that had to be endured, as if there were not enough joy, happiness, and good to go around? We always seem to be limiting the possibility of experiencing the good things of life.

If we really are in union with a divine source, then we should have a feeling of abundance in everything we do, for our source contains all things, whether we call them big or little. We need to feel that the Divine is surging forth into everything we do, that infinite intelligence is flowing into our consciousness, and that the creativity of the universe is centered in our act and motivating it.

Should we properly attune our consciousness to this divine abundance, automatically we would find betterment in everything we do, a broader and deeper experience, a higher realization, and a greater good.

Today, I expect the more abundant life. I keep my thought open to new experiences and opportunities for greater self-expression. As I share and give of myself to life, the one life pours its bounty upon me. As God finds a fuller outlet through me, I experience a new consciousness of joy, peace, and security.

Standing Up for the Other

The Sixth Annual Weekend of Twinning

One does not need to look very far to find a media report that contributes to the idea that the conflict between Muslims and Jews, as well as other groups, is an issue that cannot be overcome. However, those stories present only part of the picture, and one that reflects a clash of extremes. For six years, on six continents, the Foundation for Ethical Understanding (FFEU) has challenged this assumption and has taken steps to encourage greater understanding, promote racial harmony, and strengthen inter-group relations between ethnic communities. The FFEU’s signature program is the annual Weekend of Twinning, organized in cooperation with the World Jewish Congress and the Islamic Society of North America. The initiative encourages joint programs to be held with the goal of building ties of communication, reconciliation, and cooperation. Muslim and Jewish student, women’s, and young leadership groups in countries around the globe participate in these partnership events, which include a diverse range of activities from symposiums and cultural sharing to feeding the homeless. Learn more about this organization and watch this inspiring video about diverse groups standing up for each other.
