"Let us be united;
let us speak in harmony;
let our minds apprehend alike.
Common be our prayer;
Common be the end of our assembly;
Common be our resolution;
Common be our deliberations.
Alike be our feelings;
Unified be our hearts;
Common be our intentions;
Perfect be our unity."

"Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness.We know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.We know that we are the ones
Who are divided
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk in the Sacred Way.Grandfather, Sacred One,
"
Teach us love, compassion, and honor
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a king of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

"If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.If there is to be peace in the home,
"
There must be peace in the heart.
