It is only by treating each other with love and compassion, and kindness can you see not how different each one of you are, but how equal and similar you all are. True, there is variance between you, but that is one of the delightful things about this planet Earth - the variance that exists within it! This variance was meant to be a celebration in light and in joy. It was never meant to bring fear and darkness, it was never meant to separate you from each other; but only that you might find renewal and fascination in all the different aspect of Oneness that existed around you. (Quan Yin through Caroline Fitzgerald (Radha) - www.gaiamind.com/gather-uk.html

The Principle of Reconciliation is that which finds in differing qualities, unifying similarities that allows these differences to be brought together; to accept the unifying qualities and diminish the differences, so that the differences in the qualities become less clashing and conflicting - and the unifying qualities become more binding. This is to reconcile, to find common denominators in things that are normally seen as separative, and to emphasize and promote those common denominators, thus allowing the differences to fade away, or fall into proper alignment. The Principle of Reconciliation allows those things which are normally in conflict to become harmonious in relationship to one another. (Paul Shockley - Aquarian Church) - www.Aquarian.org

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. (John F. Kennedy)

There are differences in all nations, and it is that mosaic that creates your planet Earth. In each nation there must be understanding without condemnation of others - that is an important achievement to make. (The Council of Nine - From the book The Only Planet of Choice)

To care for anyone else enough to make their problems one's own, is ever the beginning of one's real ethical development. (Unknown)

Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man's survival. (Carlos Pena Romulo)

You may call for peace as loudly as you wish, but where there is no brotherhood there can in the end be no peace. (The Gifts of the Magi by Max Lerner)

When we dream alone, it is only a dream, but when we dream together, it is the beginning of reality. (Unknown)

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. (Mother Teresa)

Peace comes within the souls of men when they realize their oneness with the universe. (Black Elk)

Appreciating each other is a true family value, one that will bail out much of the stress on the planet and help strengthen the universal bond all people have. (Hidden Power of the Heart by Sara Paddison)

Rather than finding that which is similar, your emphasis is upon that which is the extreme difference. That focus can never bring peace to your planet… come together in a mutual communion and a desire to see the similarities rather than the differences. (El Morya through Tuieta) - (Source: Sedona Journal of Emergence - Feb 2004) - www.sedonajournal.com

There is a destiny that makes us brothers, No one goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own. (Edwin Markham, 1852-1940 American Poet and Editor)

Look to those who are your leaders carefully. What plan would you have them enact for you? In what voice would you have them speak? Where is the truth in that which they would give to you and they would give to others as your representatives in councils and gatherings about your planet? Just as Atlantis could not survive as a disjointed group of people, so it is now that you have the opportunity to rise up beyond that disunity. You who have been quietly sitting – speak your hearts, speak your truth, let those who would guide you as leaders know that it is time to come together in peace and harmony… It is only as each one will stand and be accountable for himself/herself that your leaders will be selected as ones who come together in a mutual communion and a desire to see the similarities rather than the differences. (El Morya through Tuieta) - (Source: Sedona Journal of Emergence - Feb 2004) - www.sedonajournal.com

It is the thought-form of separation that causes one human to believe that they are superior to another. And then out of the superiority, such a human gives themselves permission to use, prostitute, abuse, starve, torture or war upon another. You are all ONE SPECIES! When you prostitute another, you prostitute yourself! When you war upon another, you war upon yourself! When you torture another, you torture yourself! When you starve another, beloved, you starve yourself. (The Buffalo Kingdom through Karen Danrich "Mila") - www.ascendpress.org

The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all. (Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 1918 Russian Novelist)

Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1831)

We must treat each other with dignity. Not because we merit it but because we grow best in thoughtfulness. (Leo Buscaglia)

…there is a need to see the tragedy, the suffering, the sorrow that exists upon this plane, and to look so deeply at this that the feeling of compassion becomes so unbearable, so overwhelmingly painful, that its very urgency becomes the motivation that moves you into action which can reconcile the polarities that cause such suffering. (Unknown)

It is the vibration of altruism that causes humans to believe in perfection. It is out of the belief in perfection that one learns to value some things and not value others - which is competition. It is the vibration of honesty that transmutes this plane of reality. It is the vibration of a hierarchical structure that causes humanity to compartmentalize their governance and their lives. It is through compartmentalization and competition that some are deemed of higher worth than others are. It is the vibration of collaboration that transmutes this plane of reality. It is the vibration of self-judgment that causes humanity to doubt themselves. It is in the doubt of themselves that humanity is easily manipulated. It is the vibration of assessment that transmutes this plane of reality. (Lady Rize) - www.ascendpress.org

It is generally out of pain or fear that humans treat one another poorly or harm one another. As the pain and fear lifts, and unity emerges, one learns to treat all others in a fair and considerate manner. One also learns to communicate authentically as to how one feels. As sincere communication occurs, there is the opportunity for one to better understand the other, and then out of such understanding, dance in harmony and honor again. (The Tao through Karen Danrich "Mila") - www.ascendpress.org

We as Human Beings need each other to survive on this Planet. We must recognize that we are all in this together. Instead of functioning out of fear and hatred we need to learn about each other and revel in the wonder and beauty of our unique diversities. (Patricia Diane Cota-Robles) - www.1spirit.com/eraofpeace

All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals. (Peter Singer)

If we do not learn to live together as friends, we will die apart as fools. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. (Bahá'u'lláh)

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? (Pablo Casals)

The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens. (Baha'ullah, prophet and founder of the Baha'i Faith)

We are all here on this planet, as it were, as tourists. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives. Whether we live just a few years or a whole century, it would be truly regrettable and sad if we were to spend that time aggravating the problems that afflict other people, animals, and the environment. The most important thing is to be a good human being. (The Dalai Lama)

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace. (Albert Schweitzer, 1875-1965 German Born Medical Missionary Theologian Musician and Philosopher)

There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves. (Lyndon B. Johnson, 1908-1973 Thirty-sixth President of the USA)

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars. (Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1882-1945 Thirty-second President of the USA)

In your human desire to differentiate, you have also limited all of creation. You have named species. You have categorized phyla. You have symbolized, mythologized and built systems in order to try and understand a world and universe which seems confusing, uncontrollable and even dangerous. In truth, if you allowed exploration to be initiated with a sense of wonder instead of definition, you would begin to see the mystery of life, not as a puzzle to be solved, but a way back into the heart of the spirit which you represent and indeed embody in every cell of your being. www.nanekielliott.com

When the Bible said "the meek shall inherit the earth," it was telling you of a powerful force banding together in unity. It would use light to prevail; a force which is aware that the world depends on healing each other and brings to closure the idea that one group has a better understanding of God than another. (Kirael through Rev. Fred Sterling) - www.inward.com/KSR/index.html

...looking at a stereotyped ideal of what a spiritual life should be, is but a form of escape from reality, and has never yet been instrumental in helping to relieve the suffering on this plane, and in fact, has led entities to battle and to kill over such ideals... Consciousness can only change when entities no longer judge themselves or others, when entities no longer seek to be higher or further out, greater or more powerful than another or themselves. When entities can accept themselves as they are, then they can move onto other ways of being. True Spirituality is not concerned with whether entities are materialistic, spiritual, right or wrong, higher or lower, ascended or descended, but whether entities love one another and whether entities love themselves, and are responsive to the needs of one another.
