As spiritual beings, we are not separate from God; instead, joined together we are one with God. This “oneness” reflects the right mind of the true self while the ego mind believes in separation from God. This creates a split mind of two parts: one that operates from wrong-thinking (ego) and one that operates from right-thinking (spirit). Atonement is about the healing of our belief in the split from God. Joy, peace, love, compassion and kindness will occur when you are willing to acknowledge and accept your connectedness to all that is and awaken.
