Virtually every spiritual tradition teaches that your higher self is the presence of God within you.

You are a creature of Divine Love connected at all times to Source. Divine Love is when you see God in everyone and everything you encounter.

Hold no grudges and practice forgiveness. This is the key to having peace in all your relationships.

When you trace a particle back to its origins, you find that it's nothing but pure energy. All of us come from this energy field.

Throughout our history, there has been a long list of those we've been conditioned to hate. The British, French, Spanish, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Communists, Northern Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranians, Taliban, and both northerners and southerners in America are some of the people we've been encouraged at various times to call enemies and to hate. The list is long, and as time passes, those we were assigned to hate we later were told should be removed from our hate list. The enemy is obviously hatred itself. Have empathy for your assigned enemy.

The ability to get to a higher level in our life means that we have to generate the energy to be able to do so, and generally, we do that by a fall. Spiritual advances are almost always proceeded by a fall of one kind or another.
