<p><strong>When someone joins us</strong> in what we do, we become more effective&#8212;our thoughts, feelings and behavior, when joined with others, gain strength.</p>
<p><strong>If we are thinking, speaking and acting</strong> in a way that is beneficial to ourselves, we gain by repeating what we do.</p>
<p><strong>If we repeatedly think,</strong> speak and act in a way not beneficial to ourselves and the world, little is gained.</p>
<p><strong>As we do well for ourselves</strong> and all of life, we are joined by other people wanting good for their lives too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everything we see&#8211;living and non-living&#8211;is who we are, a part of our totality. We come from the primordial spark that is now the universe. We share this spark with everything and everyone.</p>
<p>The spark feels powerful inside us. Its tune is love. This love can be soft and warm as a friend&#8217;s embrace, or strong and immediate, mending what is torn.</p>
<p>The spark lives on in everyone and everything. We may appear separate and apart, but we are united in our origin and unified by life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Larger than life itself is the underlying &#8220;Presence&#8221; of life. What is this &#8220;Presence&#8221;?</p>
<p>It is there and here&#8230; for us to find in our own way. It is the the Way of the World and the Universal Pulse. It is how and why we exist, the &#8220;Presence&#8221; of life.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Presence&#8221; is where our soul combines with Creation at the deepest level, the point between ourselves and God. It is the Tune of Life, the Balance of Existence and &#8220;doing the right thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sense it. Feel it. Find it. Be it: The &#8220;Presence&#8221; of life, the best we can be, the Soul of the World where love is love and perfection has no end.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Presence&#8221;&#8230; absolute yet always changing: It is you and me.</p>
<p>.</p>
