Just like Jesus did.
All of creation belongs together in the arms of its Creator.
The final vision is that not only will all recognise that they
are brothers and sisters called to live
in unity but all members of God's creation will come
together in complete harmony. Jesus the Christ came to
realise that vision. Long before he was born, the prophet
Isaiah saw it:
...The wolf will live with the lamb,
the panther lie down with the kid,calf, lion and fat-stock beast together,
with a little boy to lead them.
The cow and the bear will graze,
their young will lie down together.
The lion will eat hay like the ox.
The infant will play over the den of the adder;
the baby will put his hand into the viper's lair.
No hurt, no harm will be done
on all my holy mountain,
for the country will be full of knowledge of Yahweh
as the waters cover the sea...
(Isaiah 11:6-9)

Oh, nice, Harry. Nice. I keep coming across references to this, over and over again.
Yes, we are all one. It makes all the difference in the world.
Not just us hoomins either, Sue, but All That Is. Everything is made of the same stuff, and Love, Divine Energy, animates and sustains everything.
We are all Love-Beings, Love expressing Itself in infinitely amazing ways.
Doncha Lurve it?!:)
How did we never SEE this!
It was stinkin' there all the time! Right under our "all knowing" noses!
Sheesh!
(& what's with the whole lion/lamb muck-up anyway?!?)
I sense you're trying to say something, O Exuberantly Anonymous One, with that last comment, but I haven't quite grasped it. Care to elucidate?:)
