In all the differences in the world, the difference between one school of thought and another, in all the differences between this and that, all the differences lie only in the details. When you hold fast to the details, you take an iron-clad position. You become a pronouncer that this is right and that is incorrect. You become a soothsayer, as if you know what you think you know. This way is right, you say with conviction. That way is not right, you say as if you are the law. Sometimes the very ones who preach Oneness separate the world and everything into factions of two or more. They who are for Oneness and who are opposed to Thou and I, emphasize a Thou, and they emphasize an I, and, so, they, this mythical they, they cut the very Oneness they uphold into two.
Right now I speak of a they. There is no they. And, yet, you know what is meant when I say you and I, and when I say they. They is someone other than you, you suppose.
Oneness is Oneness. What you believe in is immaterial. How you believe is irrelevant. How you live is material. How you live is relevant. How you serve is relevant.
Beliefs are not major. Oneness is major. And what is Oneness but an embrace? Oneness is another word for Love. When you love, your heart is full. When you divide, your heart is cut in two. Your heart becomes divided.
When you hold how you think always above how another thinks, what have you done? You have, in effect, said: “My way or the highway.” You have put your school of thought, the school you chose to go to, above another school of thought, and you proclaim your way as the only way.
It has been said that all paths lead to Rome. In truth, beloveds, all paths lead to Me. What you believe does not lead you to Me. What you say does not lead you to Me. Infinite are the ways to Me. Infinite are the waves.
Being a scholar does not lead you to Me. I lead you to Me. It is destined that you come to Me. You are already with Me. You just have not caught on yet.
No one has to believe in Me in order to come to Me. Capital I and Me are other words for Truth. Truth is not a concept. What you think and what you believe are incidental. The words you choose are incidental. You do not have to know words at all in order to come to Me. You don’t even have to think in order to come to Me.
It is My desire that you come to Me. I lead you to Me. Life leads you to Me. It is decreed that you come to Me. The last may come first. You have no idea who is first and who is last, if there were indeed a first or a last.
I ask you not to be snooty about any one path. Please do not hold your way as superior to another. Go with your heart and not your intellect, most especially concerning those seeming others who do not follow what you follow or what you mean to follow.
The details of one way or another may fulfill you. Bless you for the fulfillment you find. Bless so-called others to the fulfillment they find. Bless those who do not seek fulfillment as well, for they are innocent and may stumble on Me before you. It is enough that I seek the ones you may call -- them.
I love all. I seek all. I seek Oneness-Awareness for all. I do not seek a theory, you understand. I seek you.
