When will people understand that they are not separate individuals

"When will people understand that they are not separate

individuals but form a part of the great body of God, of which

they each represent one cell? So, when they behave badly towards

their neighbours, thinking that they are strangers, foreign to

them, and can be mistreated with impunity, they are mistaken. The

truth is that there is a connection between all living creatures,

as there is between all the cells of the physical body. When we

harm others, we are harming ourselves too, even if we feel

nothing at the time. In the same way, when we are good to them,

we are also being good to ourselves.

I expect you have had this experience – if someone you love

suffers or someone hits them, it is as if you yourself had

received the blows, and if something happens to make them happy,

you rejoice as though it had happened to you. Why? Because

instinctively, intuitively, you entered into an awareness of

oneness. And this very awareness is the basis of all true

morality.   "
