The whole thought and idea of war would disappear from the human consciousness if there were enough people who understood the Principle we're talking about – and used it. The world would solve its problems because enough divine guidance would come down into the intellect and the emotions. The solution lies in spiritual awareness. Spiritual awareness to us is the conscious interior awareness that we are one with the divine Presence – the source of inspiration, illumination, intelligent guidance, and the consciousness that there is such a divine Presence, that there must be a universal Spirit and Mind which we use – and an awareness that there is a Law of Mind in action which acts mathematically, mechanically, but intelligently, having no purpose or intention of its own, but apparently following the consciousness which (mostly unconsciously) directs it. The awareness that each one of us, individually, has access to Intelligence as Spirit, and to the reactive, creative Intelligence as Law, is the whole basis of our teaching. Ernest Holmes
