The term ‘Collective Soul’ seems to be popular these days, but our souls are not in jeopardy and are oblivious to all the pain and turmoil the human race subjects itself to on a daily basis. The spirit is a state of perfect peace and harmony and has nothing in common with the material world. The point of this article isn’t to focus on what we can do to protect our bodies or possessions, for the world will not last.
Let’s start with the premise that everything that exists came from One Source. This certainty is not based on personal beliefs or a desire to be right, but rather simple reason, which cannot be denied. We did come from One Source. And unless we have somehow managed to take control of the Power of the Universe and bend it to our will, the simple truth is that whatever sits at the Alpha, or beginning, of the universe is at the center of all centers. This is the stuff we are made of. Some call it Love.

Everyone in the world wants to know what ‘this stuff’ is so we can stop searching for the answer. Not knowing has quite literally driven the world insane, and we see this discord reflected everywhere. The invasive microbe is a thing we call fear, and it makes the world sick because it is divisive.
Nothing tears at the fabric of our lives like fear … call it fear of the unknown. If we knew the truth, we wouldn’t be living in fear because this means that all doubt has been removed from our mind. This place of knowing is not a physical space, but simply a state of mind. When we know the truth, all we can do is be grateful. When we accept love, it is because we are willing to share it with everyone, since love is approached through gratitude.
The real question is always going to revolve around how we can heal the split in our thinking, which is the cause of all conflict, and heal our mind, which is where the conflict lives. It is invisible. The effects of this secret war, however, are highly visible and are seen in the attitudes and sicknesses that seemingly loom everywhere. What everyone is trying to heal is a sense of separation from love in their own mind. This is a secret we have kept only from ourselves.
Denial of truth keeps us in despair. Not knowing the truth keeps us in a fear-based pattern that continually shipwrecks us when we least expect it. In order to heal the split in our mind, it is necessary to understand how love operates and functions. Until we have learned how to emulate Love, we will miss the mark, and search for the truth, which is in us and all around us. The search implies we are without love, and this makes us fearful, which in turn makes us sick. This is why all sickness is an illusion, does not exist, and will be healed through the acceptance of reality.
Here is the first and only mistake that causes us to search for truth and healing – we honestly believe that our self-worth is bound up in other people’s opinions of us, and if we can win the love and affection of another human being, we will be worthy of love. Only the truth can release us from this total fantasy.
We don’t need to prove we are worthy, but we do need to learn, or remember, to accept the fact that we are worthy of love or we wouldn’t have all this love inside of us. Each of us has our full share of total love right now. The only thing that prevents us from recognizing that this is true is holding on to the false belief that our love will come from some outside source. This makes us believe that we are always going to be vulnerable to losing love if someone can then take it away from us.
All healing is for the mind, which believes in separation from love. The point of departure from the truth began with the origins of the idea of sin and the fear of death, and everything else that has terrified us since the dawn of time. Love is an eternal entity; just by being what it is means that everything that has seemed to take place in time would have to be an illusion. It cannot be true that part of the universe is eternal, while the other part is subject to time. This fantasy deprives us of the joy of life, which is our natural inheritance and birthright.
While we are desperately seeking our reality, it might be in our best interest to toss out any preconceived notions of what reality is. Forget about everything we’ve been taught by a world that is just as confused as we are. In other words, we can’t bank on a real answer from a source that is in conflict, as is our complex world. Truth is whole, indivisible, at peace with itself, knows what it is, and what it stands for. Can any of us honestly claim this as a perfect description of our own experience as it stands in this world?
Now is not the time for despair. Imagine for the moment that the real and only True Answer is with us now, for it certainly is. Love is in our minds and held securely in our thought systems. The Truth is buried beneath the rubble of our unforgiving, unloving thoughts. This realization makes way for a different point of view to be accepted because we have not decided to deny truth, regardless of what it is.
In the stillness of the moment, the Light of Truth stands ready and perfectly willing to reveal itself to each and every one of us because we are its home. There has never been a moment when any of us have been separated from our reality, which is totally loving and at peace. The fact that we are surrounded by love, and have a heart and mind that are truly full of love, is proof of this.
Be willing to forgive everything right now, and experience the truth which has been saved for us, because we are worthy. Trust love when you call on it. There is no room for confusion, lies, deception, or illusion in reality, and this is the truth. Some call it Love. Love is the Answer.

Lyrics
If you listen to the ocean
And the rhythm of the rain
And the rhythm of a heartbeat
And it [Incomprehensible] you again
And you do not see the color
And you do not see the reason
And you do not understand these things
You only know religion
And the wisdom of the ages
Meets the wisdom of the moment
And the future past and present
Is the feeling or the touch
And the walking hand you feel it
And it follows like a wind
And the voices in your ear
Are telling you so much
Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it love
Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it love
When you’re guilty of compassion
It’s the border of [Incomprehensible]
On the international
Binding us together
When the song is all around you
Telling you be free
And the force has finally found you
And it’s everything you need
Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it love
Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it love
Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it love
Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it love
Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it love
Some call it Allah
Some call it Jesus
