What is Divine Oneness?

The One has two sides. Yin and yang is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another .  by Michael Corthell The Law of Divine Oneness is the first universal law. All others stem from it.    This law postulates that we are all connected throughout all creation. Every bit of matter is connected in some way, shape, or form to the rest of the universe. There is no separation, all is in one and one is in all. That means that everything we do has an influencing effect and affects all—not just us personally. We must remember that our actions both matter and make a difference to all and The All. This law is the basis for humankind's embrace of The Golden Rule It is the principle of treating others as one wants to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in most religions and cultures.

God Within: Our Human Imagination

"Discover the divine essence within you. In the sanctuary of this inner consciousness, we wield the unlimited power to shape our destinies and manifest our desires." Michael Corthell In the quest to fathom the depths of human existence, the teachings of Neville Goddard offer a unique perspective. Goddard posits that the concept of a higher power, traditionally termed "God," resides not in some distant realm, but within the very fabric of our consciousness. According to his philosophy, our human imagination is the crucible of creation, the sacred space where the divine potential within each of us takes shape. The Creative Power of Imagination: Neville's Cornerstone Central to Neville Goddard's teachings is the profound role he attributes to imagination. He contends that this faculty is not a mere flight of fancy, but a gateway to the infinite.

Oneness Revealed: The Interplay of Self, God, and Reality in the Universal Mind

''God, the Universe, and our very essence are inseparable. We are not just observers of the universe; we are participants, co-creators, and expressions of the divine.'' Michael Corthell   In the vast expanse of cosmic contemplation, where the boundaries between self and universe dissolve, we find ourselves tracing the threads of wisdom woven by the likes of Neville Goddard , Alan Watts , and other luminaries . Through their insights, we embark on a journey to unravel the profound interplay between our existence and the cosmos, as we explore the notion that before we were born, we were the universe itself. Before our earthly sojourn, before our first breath in this dimension of form, we were the universe in its raw, unmanifested potential. This primordial truth is a concept that echoes across spiritual traditions, embracing the whispers of Emerson's 'over-soul.' It resonates with the idea that our individuality arises from the same wellspring of cosmic consc

How to Stay Healthy and Age Well

by Michael Corthell Most of us are not a fan of old age — losing our youthfulness, developing wrinkles and facing health problems that are inevitable as we grow older can be unsettling. The fear of growing old, only becomes a problem when it becomes persistent, irrational and chronic — a kind of phobia. ''You don't stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.''    —George Bernard Shaw The common thread in all phobias is anxiety. Worrying about what will happen. Anxiety concerning old age is difficult to manage, since we can see it's effects first hand — we are constantly reminded.  We have all seen loved ones become unable to care for themselves or falling down breaking a hip.

The best is yet to be...''  —Robert Browning Let's look at ways to make the best of it and worry about a whole lo
