Charles Fillmore, the co-founder of Unity said there is a divine law of equilibrium that corresponds to the law of balance and poise that holds the suns and the planets in place. The law of balance that he spoke of is based on love and justice. Love and justice is your true nature. It is who you are, and you can’t be anything else. Being created in the image and likeness of God means your nature is the nature of God.
Let me ask you some questions about your nature. Can you accumulate your own wealth for your own use, and never give any of it to help another person, or to help an organization you believe does something worthwhile for others? Are you capable of hoarding it all for yourself, and being happy doing it? Can you play a Saturday game of golf or tennis, and fully enjoy the strength and health of your own body, knowing there are people dying of cancer, children being born with Aids, elderly suffering with Alzheimers, and do nothing about it? Can you enjoy the smooth relationships of your own small family, knowing there are people who suffer because of family violence, and don’t even know healing is an option? Can you join a wonderful community and take what you need from your time there and give nothing to support it? Of course you can’t.
The point I’m trying to make is that living a life of love and justice isn’t some distant goal you have to accomplish. You are already doing it because it is your nature and you can’t help it. What we can accomplish is to make our lives of love and justice more powerful, more effective, by making that twelve inch journey between heart and head; by becoming more aware, more conscious of our true nature. How many of you consciously think of yourselves as a force of love and justice? What would happen if you did learn to think that way all the time? Suppose every conscious decision you make, every waking action you take, was based on the clear realization that you are love and justice in expression.
Know the truth about yourself, and watch your life expand!
