BEYOND BORDERS

The daily chronicle of the pandemic shrinks distances to the point where we can take in all peoples at a single glance… in the same health report!
Every country in the world faces the same elusive threat, which strikes regardless of borders, nationalities, differences of culture, gender, social class, wealth, ideology or religion!
We are forced to remember that we all share the same human condition, this identity as inhabitants of the Earth, both ephemeral and the receptacle of the unalterable Divine Spark, the Force of Love within us, whether it is recognised or not.
This highlights the inhumanity of intolerance, which has its roots in individual and collective prejudice. We know that we must leave behind the murderous divisions of intolerance if we want to prepare the future of peace to which we aspire for ourselves and our children.
It is not always easy to break free from conditioning, but becoming aware of it is already a step forward.

– Every man and every woman can broaden their outlook and strive to “consider themselves citizens of the whole Earth, while respecting the laws of the country in which they live. Thus they will not suffer from the scourges of racism, intolerance and extreme sectarianism.” (Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 27)
This is what we do when we feel empathy for all human beings without distinction who are facing the pandemic, when we support them in thought and action. It remains for us to cultivate this sense of belonging to the whole of humanity over time.

– For those who wish to foster harmony within themselves and among all beings, whose differences are a richness, here is a prayer taken from Le Yoga de l’Amour dans la Force, p. 304:

Prayer for peace in the world

OM
Celestial Powers who watch
Over the evolution of peoples and nations,
Flood my heart
And that of all beings, visible and invisible,
With your Immense Love.
Help us to purify ourselves.
Grant that discordant waves
Be transmuted into harmonising vibrations
And that peace may reign for ever
On this Earth and in the Universe…
OM
