To embody the idea that all humanity is divinity and that we are one global family, we have to recognize the wholeness inherent in all people. When we leave anyone out of this equation, when we deny someone’s wholeness, we deny God. What would it mean to really believe we are all one global family and that we are each unique and divine?

Who we are on the inside reflects how we express ourselves on the outside. Relationships are mirrors that allow us to see that how we view the world reflects how we view ourselves. The more we can uncover our parts, remove our masks, and be authentically ourselves, the more we are able to see the divine in everyone we meet. What would my life be like if I was authentically myself in every relationship?

Ernest Holmes writes that our word does not restore wholeness; it reveals it. And yet, many of us do not feel whole. We tend to reject or suppress the parts of ourselves we do not like. What would happen if instead of rejecting them, we honored them? What if we asked: What would my life look like if I honored and loved all of my parts, even those I do not like?
