I feel Christ’s love leads us to the practice of love and to the subtle states of Christ consciousness where the ultimate state of unity and harmony are experienced. This Reality has a profound influence on the individual and the world because it produces harmony, happiness and the environment for the individual to grow in the understanding of God, Jesus, Buddha and who one really is. As we come to know the nature of God, His unity and Reality we also know more of our own true being as His reflection.
