Understanding

I thought about what he said and then asked, "How does a Religious Scientist become — whatever the right word would be — realized, fulfilled, or awakened? What is the process?"

"People of all faiths believe in a power greater than we are, but they do not understand the power. Our hope, then, is to bring understanding," he smiled. "Call it awakening, if you wish."

"You wish, then, to bring greater understanding and awakening to people of all faiths? Greater understanding regarding. . . the oneness?"

"First of all, through our example, through our teaching, we are resolvers of hate. We are not disturbers. Love is something wonderful. The love of a person reaches out, little by little. Years ago, I spoke at many universities in Central America. My wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, acted as interpreter.

"Through love, these students were reached. They would keep us for hours afterwards, asking questions, being close to us. Here in Southern California," he further illustrated, "ministers and priests of other denominations have studied with us, and have recommended our classwork to others. Love reaches out."
