All Things Are Made Out of Life It is the Spirit that quickeneth. —JOHN 6:63 "How wonderful to realize that from one formless and invisible Substance everything that is visible comes. This invisible essence of things is the spirit of Life Itself. Realizing this spirit at the center of people and things is silent communion with the Divine Presence. There is but one Life. When we recognize life in others it is the life in us that is responding to them. As we unify with this life through people, it automatically unifies with us. As we agree with it, it agrees with us. From this recognition there comes a quickening of our own consciousness. It is written that, "It is the Spirit that quickeneth." Today I know that my spirit is quickened as I recognize the same Spirit in others. Realizing the presence of life in all nature, I know that it responds to me. I am one with that which is alive, awake, and aware. There is nothing dead, nothing stagnant, nothing inactive. In all, through all, and around all, I realize One Presence. "There are diversities of things, but the same Spirit."
