Chapter 5 – The Necessity of Inclusiveness
When we think or talk about being spiritual we are being psychological or logical. Some of the great mystics stopped talking altogether, letting the experience of their love and presence make a statement.
AND – we have to begin to understand how Mind works through some Metaphysical Tools offered through Starcke. First is the Necessity of Inclusiveness.
“Inclusiveness is a spiritual matter – a paradigm shift that is now taking place in the mind and spirit of humankind – individually and collectively.” “Walls exclude by keeping certain people in and other people out.”
Question: What are some of the “Walls” in our society?
Metaphysical Bible Interpretation: views biblical stories, characters, and events as symbolic representations of inner spiritual states, universal principles, and the human consciousness, rather than literal history.
Jesus said of God: “He maketh the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust,” Matthew 5:45 What does that scripture mean to you metaphysically?
Jesus said “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40 What does that scripture mean to you metaphysically?
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 What does that scripture mean to you metaphysically
OUR INCLUSIVE SELVES: We seem to live our entire lives attempting to realize that we are the very expression of the Divine and we came here to experience and Love It All. Page 117-118 “My strength is made perfect in weakness.” II Corinthians 12:9 page 119

Question: What does one Presence and One Power Mean to you?
What about Forgiveness - Unforgiveness causes separation
The most important single act anyone can do to bring peace.
Freedom from Judgment
Everything that has been created has a place and a purpose.
Question: What have you learned through forgiveness?
Question: How has loneliness affected me in my life?
“When we examine all the popular sins, (error thoughts) we find that every one of them in one way or another relates to the primal fear of loneliness.”
There is a difference is being Alone and being Lonely.
Aloneness = all one ness
I Corinthians 13 – the Love Yardstick
“In the future, when we understand how we relate to others inclusively, we will no longer expect our needs to be fulfilled by people, but by the God in or as others. Then guilt will be laid to rest, understanding shared by our partners, and exclusive codependencey will be a thing of the past. It’s All God.” P 128
“I choose to give, easily and joyfully, for God is my source and abundance is my nature.”
May those who come for peace, be comforted.
May those who come for Truth, listen to the Spirit within.
May those who come for healing, be healed.
May those who look for God, come to realize Thou Art That.
And may we all bless each other by
Being who we have always been,
Sharing what we love and teaching what we know,
And encouraging, all people everywhere,
on their journeys to wholeness.
