"Celebrating Oneness" is
about celebrating the Truth that we are One, we are not separate.
This Is a Spiritual Truth. When we look with our "human
eyes" we see the illusion of separation, we are in different bodies,
different locations across the globe, we see different skin colors, we
hear different languages, but in Reality these do not separate us but
Individualize us. Like the waves on the ocean, we are all
expressions of the One, no two waves are alike and neither are we, but we
are all joined together with the One, God - just like the waves are
connected to the ocean. Love, Joy, Peace, Wisdom,
Harmony, Light, Power and Beauty are the attributes of God that we all
share, and we let our Light so shine when we embrace our Oneness with each
other.
The Spirit has blessed me
immensely by bringing Jesús,
Callie and Brian into my life. The word for "uncle" in
Spanish is "tío"
and so I have become Brian's uncle, not by right of the typical family
lineage, but by the very fact that G-d has brought us all together to
share for a time our life experiences, and it is the role of uncle to help
the family.



Jesús
is originally from the state of Tabasco, Mexico and Callie from
Honduras. Brian was born in the U.S.A. on July 19, 2011.
Callie is studying languages and learning about raising a bilingual
child. Even at this early age, Brian displays creativity and
intuitive skills as well as an attraction to piano. He already has
his own unique personality and has learned to walk and talk months in
advance of what is expected. It is such a joy to watch the wonder in
his eyes as he discovers more and more about the world around him and to
observe the love between him and his mother Callie.

My beautiful God-Children, Zimel and Mira are perfect examples of how Love
brings us all together as One, living in the One Mind that Is God.
Their mother, Anna, was born in Moscow. Their father, Uri was born
in Lithuania. He immigrated to Israel. Anna immigrated to the
United States. They met in Israel. Separated by countries -
but Love brought them together. Love created through them these
beautiful, magnificent Spirits named Zimel and Mira. I was born in
the state of Missouri in the United States. My background, culture,
religion, nationality and language is very dissimilar to Anna's and Uri's. But, Love brought us together and I am the proud and happy
God-Father of Zimel and Mira. Love has brought all of us together
because Love knows no separation. Love only knows Love. It Is
a Powerful Love that weaves Its way through the world as we know it,
bringing us together, blessing each of us. Mira and Zimel are all
grown up now. Mira has graduated college and Zimel is soon on his
way.
"Love God and Love your
neighbor as yourself."
This we can do!
