Let us be the generation who sees the unity of all
who witnesses God’s oneness in everything that exists
who casts off the worship of material things
and abandons the destructive lies of prejudice and fear.
May we only worship the great Oneness
May we submit to nothing but Truth
May we serve only Love
for the only Power that matters is the murmuring thrum of life
breathing through this miraculous universe.
How is it possible that beneath our feet
is soil teeming with organisms
whose origins stretch back millions of years?
How can we comprehend the sky above our heads
that stretches out into galaxies
we lack the technology to count?
From quantum smallness
to the edge of every conceivable universe
we are but an inconsequential speck in the vastness of spacetime
but we are lucky enough to live in this world!
and we are blessed enough to attempt to understand it
This is our God
What else could there be?
This is our God
This incredible gift of infinity of which we are a part
There is nothing else
Truly this boundless unity brims with consequence
For if all is infinite and one it must be impossible
for anything to claim superiority over anything else:
Not one human being over another
nor one species over another
nor even one atom over another
This is our God
there is no other.
We remember the words Moses preached
before the weary throngs of refugees in the shrubland:
“You must accept this today
You must store this knowledge in the recesses of your pulsing heart
the Eternal One is the Only One
Infinity is all that exists
from the highest skies
to the deepest ground
there is absolutely nothing else.”
Yes! We are filled with hope
This infinite oneness palpitates with possibility
and we are determined to see it
We are desperate to truly experience the sheer beauty of unity
to exorcise the lies of the false gods that bind us to inanimate materialism
and tear ourselves away from the fictions that divide us
We are going to repair the world
We will reunite every fragment of this broken universe
into the wholeness it once was.
All daughters born of flesh
from the earthworm to the woolly mammoth
and every vibrating part of creation
from the grass to the stars
will call out the same word
will turn in the same direction
will admit to the same truth
And everything that exists,
all of it, every bit,
will know that it is
good.
And we will see how ridiculous it all was
We, who dwell on this fragile planet, will laugh at the follies we entertained
those borders and divisions that blindfolded us
those terrible ideologies that made us believe in hierarchies
those heinous illusions of distinction between self and other
(How could we ever have believed such nonsense?)
Because it will be self-evident at last
that everything is One.
We will pledge a new oath
and swear a new loyalty
Not to nation, race, religion
but only to this glorious purpose
We will accept this as our only law and our truest responsibility
We will remake the world through our understanding of the Infinite Oneness that knows no separation
A great era is coming soon
unstoppably hurtling towards us
And once that day has begun
we will never allow it to end.
There is no king nor empire nor bomb
that can withstand the light of majestic eternity
There is no power in any universe greater than this limitless love
No wonder our Scripture teaches:
“The Eternal One will reign over every world and time!”
And so we say
Let it be
Infinite Oneness
is the only thing worth following
The only form of government we could possibly recognise
over anything on this earth
is that which celebrates the unbridled unity of all that exists
that harmonises nations and nature and knowledge
within the same wondrous all-encompassing mystery.
God is already One
and Oneness is already God
and soon the time will come
when we will all be brave enough
to live this truth we already know
As one.
