We are all one if we could allow ourselves to view ourselves from the perspective of our Divine Consciousness. From this perspective, illusion draws away. We are clear, clear channels for Divine light and love within the world. But, you may ask, what about situations of misery or difficult times, what about in these instances when we are not clear? St. Francis offers counsel in this respect in his prayer when he talks about it being more important to console than be consoled. It is more important to understand than be understood. This could be considered a path when misery or difficulty arises, to seek to assist others for to be the source of love is to attract that love to you.   I can be mindful of this as I walk within my day-to-day life.
