DIVINE UNITY

The divisions, fanaticism, sectarianism and wars still waged in the world today in the name of religions are so many attempts to strike at God, who is Love for all.

Too often, human beings see God only in the founder of one religion, their own, which they set against those of others. From there to wanting to impose it by force is but one step. [1]

Too often, human beings reduce God to an alibi allowing them to justify their own desire for domination and violence, their wars and their persecutions.

Fortunately, the nature of the Divine escapes all these human undertakings, God being the Energy of Life and Love.

His Holiness Lord HAMSAH MANARAH reminds us:

“Think more in terms of ONE Energy,

moved by a transcendent Consciousness,

manifesting both through Form and beyond all Form.”

(L’Aumisme, la Doctrine de l’Age d’Or, p. 37)

If this indivisible Energy becomes incarnate in different places, at different times, under different Faces, these could never be a source of division, since all are “Rays from the same Centre of Light”, moved by a single Mission: to foster the evolution of human beings towards more Love and fraternity.

Aumism, the religion of the Unity of the Faces of God, affirms this essential principle, “God is One and His manifestations are many”, which guarantees peace between the believers of all religions who are walking towards the same goal. [2] This principle and its concrete applications open up the spiritual, human and social prospects of a future of tolerance and solidarity, in the common Service of Humanity.
