The direct path

Dear friends:

In the New Thought movement, the statement is heard often, "there are many paths to God, but only one God." In a sense that is true, if you found union with God, then obviously the path you took is a valid one. Some paths, however, meander and go the very long way around. We in Unity favor the direct path.

Everyone has the ability to enter into a conscious connection with the Allness now, without ritual, without mantra, without outer action of any kind. This is hard to accept. Most of us have been taught that we must go through some other entity, do pennance of some kind, or earn the right of this connection. These are beliefs that are difficult to release, and they cause a wandering that seems to go on forever.

If you are looking for a better way, know this: you can connect with the divine by going inward in the silence. You can feel love and joy in this divine presence. The longer and the more often you spend time in that divine center, the more everything else will fall into place, the more of the mystical you will understand.

Namaste,
Bob Roushar
