 A Course in Miracles: A Living, Organic Process (continued)
wherein ideas are developed, elaborated, and propelled for-
ward inevitably toward some specific goal.2
When A Course in Miracles speaks of form, it refers to the
outer expression of an inner content, body following mind,
which is the propelling force, as it were, that infuses form with
its meaningform catching fire on content. Restated, form
and content is the relationship of effect to its cause. In fact,
early in the text, Jesus cites the cause-effect relationship as a
fundamental law of the mind, as he reminded Helen Schucman
that the purpose of the Course she was scribing was to under-
stand that the mind (your own thinking) was the power that
determined the activities of the bodythoughts, feelings,
behavior:
If I intervened between your thoughts and their results, I
would be tampering with a basic law of cause and effect;
the most fundamental law there is. I would hardly help you
if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. This would
be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course (T-2.
VII.1:4-6).
This clearly suggests that a total shift in perspective is
required to understand and successfully practice this course.
Jesus cautions us in The Song of Prayer not to set forgiveness
in an earthly frame (S-2.III7:3), and we can extrapolate his
meaning to not seeking to understand his course as applying to
our earthly frames as bodies, but rather that we place its teach-
ings solely within our decision-making minds. This shift of
perspective from the body to the mind is nothing less than the
decision to leave hell and return to Heaven. The implications
of this important thought are huge, for it means that everything
in the world is not only determined by the mind, but is within
the mind. The body, and therefore our lives on earth, do not
truly exist, for ideas leave not their source: the dream can
never leave the mind of the dreamer. Undoing the worlds con-
fusion in this regard, thinking that the world is the cause of our
self-concept, is a major purpose of the Course. Jesus discusses
this confusion of cause and effect in the context of sickness;
the mind (the decision for guilt) being the cause, with the body
(the sick expression of a sick thought) being merely its effect:
Sickness or not-right-mindedness is the result of level
confusion, because it always entails the belief that what is
amiss on one level [the body] can adversely affect another
[the mind]. We have referred to miracles as the means of
correcting level confusion, for all mistakes must be cor-
rected at the level on which they occur. Only the mind is
capable of error. The body can act wrongly only when it is
responding to misthought (T-2.IV.2:2-5).
Directly following from this is another important theme in
A Course in Miracles, that of purpose. Recognizing its impor-
tance is also central to any students appreciation and under-
standing of the Course and the successful application of its
principles. We are repeatedly told, as in the following passage,
that it is essential to understand the purpose of something
before we can know its meaning. This would apply to specifics
2. Milwaukee: Amadeus Press, 2008, p. 34.
2
such as a meeting, situation, or relationship, as well as to our
lives in general. Thus we read:
This is the question [What for?] that you must learn to
ask in connection with everything. What is the purpose?
Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically.
When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have
made a decision about your future effort; a decision that
will remain in effect unless you change your mind (T-4.
V.6:8-11).
The worlds multitudinous purposes come down to two:
the minds decision for guilt or forgiveness, to remain in the
dream or awaken from it. Jesus, therefore, is teaching us to
approach our lives from the point of view of purpose: why am
I here? what do I hope to accomplish in my life? what is it for?
And so we come to see how the forms of our lives mirror the
content our minds have chosen to achieve its right-minded or
wrong-minded goal. Moreover, we can recognize the same
purpose manifest in A Course in Miracles, whose words mirror
its right-minded content, serving the purpose of leading us
ever more closely to the experience of love that is its ultimate
source and our true Identity.
A Course in Miracles as a Symphony
The text of A Course in Miracles does not progress along
a normal linear path, with one idea leading logically into the
next. Instead of this causative, linear connectedness, Jesus
develops his teaching in a way that explores the underlying
conjunction among ideasthe musical structure of the text.
He returns to certain images and events not only for thematic
purposes, but because of the aesthetic effect of the juxtaposi-
tion. When I wrote A Glossary-Index for A COURSE IN MIRACLES
in 1982, my first book on the Course, I expressed this non-
linear or symphonic nature of A Course in Miracles in the fol-
lowing passage:
Unlike most thought systems, A Course in Miracles
does not proceed in a truly linear fashion with its theoretical
structure built upon increasingly complex ideas. Rather, the
Courses development is more circular with its themes
treated symphonically: introduced, set aside, reintroduced,
and developed. This results in an interlocking matrix in
which every part is integral and essential to the whole,
while implicitly containing that whole within itself.
This structure establishes a process of learning instead
of merely setting forth a theoretical system. The process
resembles the ascent up a spiral staircase. The reader is led
in a circular pattern, each revolution leading higher until the
top of the spiral is reached, which opens unto God. Thus,
the same material consistently recurs, both within the
Course as a thought system as well as in learning opportu-
nities in our personal lives. Each revolution, as it were,
leads us closer to our spiritual goal. The last two paragraphs
of the first chapter in the text particularly emphasize this
cumulative impact of the Courses learning process.
Through careful study of the text, along with the daily
practice that the workbook provides, the student is gradu-
ally prepared for the deeper experiences of God towards
 A Course in Miracles: A Living, Organic Process (continued)
which A Course in Miracles points. Intellectual mastery of
its thought system will not suffice to bring about the per-
ceptual and experiential transformation that is the aim of
the Course (p. 1).
Therefore, our approach to A Course in Miracles should
not be bound by a striving to uncover its intellectual secrets,
actively asserting our intellect as it does combat, as it were,
with the Courses words and logic. Rather, we should allow
ourselves to become passively open to its message by letting it
speak to us, its music transcending our thinking so it can go
straight to our hearts. This would mean that one could not truly
understand any one particular passage without an understand-
ingexperientially, not intellectuallyof the entirety of its
thought system. This would be similar to, returning to our
above discussion of Wagners essay, conductors who try to
conduct a great symphony without the maturity needed for a
proper appreciation of its depth. Again, one needs to know the
Course as a living, organic process, so that each part can be
comfortably fit into the whole. Therefore, we will never truly
benefit from A Course in Miracleson the level of cognitive
understanding or experienceby attempting to reach the
whole through piecing together its separate parts. As Jesus
reminds us in the text:
The Sonship in its Oneness transcends the sum of its parts
(T-2.VII.6:3).
The whole does define the part, but the part does not define
the whole (T-8.VIII.1:10).
In other words, A Course in Miracles is more than its the-
ory, and intellectual mastery alone of its thought system,
wherein students are not active participants in their own pro-
cess of healing, cannot but engender a sterile, non-living expe-
rience of the Courses organic life. This appreciation of the
structure of A Course in Miracles provides a framework that
offers a meaningful way of approaching our own lives, the
subject of the next section and the main thrust of this article.
Our Life as a Symphony
Throughout her life, Helen Schucman, the Courses
scribe, had dreams that succinctly described her inner life. One
such dream was in 19453 and, as was her fashion, she gave it a
titleThe Recorderfor when she wrote down her dreams,
many of them read like short stories or fables. This particular
dream addresses the meaning of Helens being in the world,
and foreshadows the decisive instanttwenty years later in
1965when she did in fact make the right choice that gave
meaning to her life: her decision to join with William Thetford
to find the other way of relating to each other and to the world.
This decision was the immediate stimulus for the Courses
scribing.
The dream takes place
in a small, rectangular room lined with books from floor to
ceiling. In the middle of the room a tall and incredibly

ancient man, evidently some sort of clerk, sits on a very
high stool. He is carefully making small, neat entries
with a long-handled quill pen in a large, gray-bound ledger.
Helen approaches him, understanding that he is recording
everything that is or has ever been in the whole universe.
She poses several questions, each becoming more absurd than
the previous one, desperately attempting to find out what is
written in her record. She is aware that she does not really
know what to ask:
If only I knew the question I could probably find the answer
myself. But I havent the faintest idea what the question is.
In fact, thats really the problem.
A Course in Miracles, many years later, would concur (see, for
example, T-4.V.4:9-11 and T-27.IV).
The clerk finally accedes to Helens constant questioning
and explains what he is doing:
In this ledger is a page of accounts for everybody that lives,
and all his actions are recorded on it. Whenever someone
dies, I draw a line under the last entry, add up the figures,
and get a total. This total I pass on to the proper Authorities.
Helen responds:
You mean you decide whether people have been good or
bad, and things like that.
And the clerk:
Dear me, no, I merely record facts. Good and bad mean
nothing to me. They may concern the Authorities, of
course. I wouldnt know. Its not my department.
Helen asks about her page and the clerk says he cannot
say since the account hasnt been closed as yet. Helen per-
sists, and the clerk, relenting in the face of her pleadings,
explains why he cannot answer more specifically:
I never indulge in speculation. In my work it would be a
waste of time. Over and over Ive seen a person suddenly
decide to do something very unexpected,something that
changes the whole picture of his accounts. Hes quite likely
to do it up until the very last minute. Therefore Ive given
up speculating beforehand.
This important dream has significant implications for all of
us, offering a meaningful way to see our lives: living, organic
processes that cannot be understood until the life is done and
we look back and perceive the unifying principle, or melos,
that the entirety of our life was built aroundthe symphony
that was the development of this life theme and fulfillment of
its purpose.
This means that we cannot understand the specifics of our
life experience without knowing how they fit into the whole.
Judgment of any event, then, is impossible, as we read in the
manual for teachers:
In order to judge anything rightly, one would have to be
fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of things; past,
present and to come. One would have to recognize in
advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and
everything involved in them in any way. And one would
 A Course in Miracles: A Living, Organic Process (continued)
have to be certain there is no distortion in his perception, so
that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on
whom it rests now and in the future. Who is in a position to
do this? Who except in grandiose fantasies would claim this
for himself? (M-10.3:3-7)
And yet this is what we arrogantly claim each and every time
we seek to make sense of our own behavior, or that of another,
or wish to understand world eventspolitical, economic,
social. It is impossible without an awareness, as the above pas-
sage suggests, of the mind that exists outside time and space,
the mind that contains within itselfsimultaneously!every
expression in form of the original error, as well as every
expression of its correction:
The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made,
and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Cor-
rection for that one, and all of them that came within the
first (T-26.V.3:5).
Moreover, as there is no way that a brain, conditioned by
the mind to think linearly, can know what this means, we are
wise to set the metaphysics aside and focus only on under-
standing that we cannot understand, which is why Jesus coun-
sels us in the workbook after a discussion of the fundamental
unreality of time, a notion un-understandable to the human
brain that is localized in a temporal body:
There is no need to further clarify what no one in the
world can understand. Now we have work to do, for
those in time can speak of things beyond, and listen to
words which explain what is to come is past already. Yet
what meaning can the words convey to those who count the
hours still, and rise and work and go to sleep by them?
Suffice it, then, that you have work to do to play your
part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your part
is done. Forgiveness is the central theme that runs
throughout salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful
relationships, the course it runs directed and its outcome
sure (W-pI.169.10:1,3-4; 11:1-2; 12:1).
This focus on our daily lessons of forgivenessplaying
our partfrees us to direct our attention to living our lives in
the present, with the goal being to see only shared instead of
separate interests. The whole could never be apprehended
without completion of our function, which denies the egos
assertion that the world can bring us pleasure or pain, salvation
or damnation. And so our only purpose while we think we are
here is to choose holy instead of unholy instants, wherein we
trust that the whole will unfold without our needing to make it
happen. Trusting that the outcome is as certain as God (T-2.
III.3:10), we suspend our need to understand, control, or make
sense of events in our personal and collective worlds, and seek
only to accept the curriculum as it is presented to us, asking
Jesus to help us choose to see peace instead of the conflict and
concern the ego would have us experience and make real
(W-pI.34).
There is an interesting fable that well illustrates this idea
of being unable to evaluate, let alone understand any event, in
4
and of itself; a tale that exemplifies the attitude of total non-
judgment of anyone or anything that Jesus is trying to incul-
cate in us. The parable appears in many traditionsI specifi-
cally recall Taoist and Buddhist versionsand here is the
Taoist, condensed for this article:
A Taoist farmers only horse broke out of the corral and
ran away. His neighbors commiserated with him, saying,
Oh what bad luck! The farmer replied, Maybe.
A week later, the horse returned, bringing with it a herd
of wild horses, quickly corralled by the farmer. The neigh-
bors returned and, seeing the corral filled with horses, said,
Oh what good luck! The farmer replied, Maybe.
A couple of weeks later, the farmers son badly broke
his leg when he was thrown from one of the wild horses. A
few days later the leg became infected and the son became
delirious with fever. The neighbors came to see the son and
said, Oh what bad luck! The farmer replied, Maybe.
At this same time, there was a war going on between
two rival warlords. In need of more soldiers, the warlord of
the farmers village sent one of his captains to conscript
young men to fight in the war. When the captain came to
take the Taoist farmers son he obviously could not take
him due to his broken leg and high fever. A few days later,
the sons fever broke. The neighbors rejoiced for the farmer
having his son spared and in good health, and said, Oh
what good luck! The farmer replied, Maybe.
What seemed like bad luck was really good luck, which
then became bad luck, etc., etc., etc. The point, again, is that it
is impossible to understand anything truly, since there is no
way of knowing the inter-connectedness among all the vari-
ables in the world, which is why judgment is not only impos-
sible but silly even to attempt.
There is an interesting parallel to this teaching in psy-
chology. The post-World War II period saw the rise of what
was called a Third Force, an answer to the dominant place held
for decades in psychological thought by the deterministic psy-
choanalysis and behaviorism, with their respective emphases
on the past. Members of this new movement focused on the
importance of observed behavior, and after careful examina-
tion of the behavior in question, placed it in the context of the
individuals ongoing, developing life process. Kurt Goldstein,
an articulate exponent of this position and one of the major
influences on Gestalt Psychology, wrote in his major opus,
The Organism:4
If one desires to understand human nature, one must try to
understand these phenomena as the manifestation of one
unitary being. [These phenomena point] beyond them-
selves to the whole, to a base differing from the parts them-
selves, to a center to which they owe their functional reality
and by which they achieve their place (pp. 448, 509).
Goldstein termed this centering force self-actualization, a
process by which all people strive to realize their potential and
actualize who they really are.
4. New York: American Books, 1939.
 A Course in Miracles: A Living, Organic Process (continued)
Goldsteins early work as a neurologist studied the cata-
strophic effects of World War I on soldiers. This led him to
state the following on catastrophe and its place in the process
of self-actualization. His understanding helps illuminate the
meaning of our individual lives as we strive to make sense of
our difficult and painful experiences:
If the organism is to be, it always has to pass again from
moments of catastrophe to states of ordered behavior. Cata-
strophic shocks.represent a disequilibrium which must
be overcome, if the organism is not to lose its existence.
This balancing process occurs through mutual adjustment
of the organism and the world, and is realized because the
organism is able to find its milieu in the world. [Pro-
ceeding from catastrophe to catastrophe, however, is not
the organisms] intrinsic Being, rather only the transition to
its true realization. The clash [between the catastrophe and
the world] provides only a shake-up from the re-pattern-
ing, that is, the real pattern, the real performance, the reve-
lation of the organism and the world emerges (pp. 511-12).
Thus, we learn to see that the individual components of
what we think of as our lives, including those that have been
the most catastrophic, are but part of the little steps that
God asks us to take to Him (W-pI.193.13:7). To put this in the
Courses terms, any event or experience is merely a step along
the larger Atonement pathA Course in Miracles version of
Goldsteins self-actualizationeach of us must traverse in our
unique way, which is why we are told that the curriculum is
highly individualized (M-29.2:6). Each of the aspects can
never be understood within itself, but only as a part of the liv-
ing, organic process that is our pathway home, the emergence
of the real pattern, the real performance. This is the meaning
of the workbook lesson, All things are lessons God would
have me learn. (W-pI.193). Looking at our lifes path with
Jesusas a whole or at certain specificswe come to realize
that the only right-minded purpose for anything in the world is
its potential to be a means of learning to forgive ourselves. Thus
would we loose the world from all we thought it was (W-pI.
132), and let go of past grievances and future dreads. How
could we not wish this for ourselves and everyone, since we
are one? As Jesus reminds us near the end of the text, in the
context of letting Christs vision release our brothers and our-
selves from the chains of unforgiveness:
And what but this is what this course would teach? And
what but this is there for you to learn? (T-31.VII.15:6-7)
Where is judgment, then, when the past is gone and the
future non-existent? Vision or judgment is our choice (T-20.
V.4:7), and we have now chosen irrevocably for the Teacher
whose perception sees each part as contributing to the glorious
whole that is our acceptance of the Atonement: the complete
undoing of the ego and its thought system of guilt, hate, fear,
and death.

Conclusion
Extrapolating Goldsteins remarks to A Course in Miracles,
we recognize again that the Course cannot be understood by
analyzing sentences or isolating specific ideas, but only when
any one is seen within the whole. So, too, with an individual
life, or any specific event within that life. Thus the Course is
our model for learning, like Jesus who sees only love or calls
for love, and God Who does not even see illusionthe separa-
tion that never happened. Following its example, we walk the
earth without judgment, free at last to have Christs vision
become our own, allowing kindness and gentleness to replace
the bitterness of our erstwhile perceptions of comparison,
attack, and loss. Acceptance rather than analysis now becomes
the reigning principle in our lives (T-11.V.13:1), and we no
longer seek to compel the world to conform to our need to con-
trol, striving to understandanyone or anythingwhat can
never be understood. Thus we happily embrace Jesus words
from the text:
You are still convinced that your understanding is a power-
ful contribution to the truth, and makes it what it is (T-18.
IV.7:5).
This suspension of our need to understand opens the
minds door to the true perception that sees all people as the
same, undifferentiated by the egos judgments that place the
world in the illusory categories of good and evil, thus belying
Gods Love that only unites. The living, organic process that
was our life comes now to a gentle close, its purpose fulfilled,
and the peace that passeth all understanding is ours at last.
The final two stanzas of Helens poem The Quiet
Dream, addressed to Jesus, are a fitting conclusion to this
piece, offering a lovely summary of the meaning of the forgiv-
ing light of Christs vision: a world in which soft acceptance
has replaced the harsh and bitter sights of judgment, oneness
come to take the place of separation, and Gods Son returned
to the innocence he never left when he believed his sin had
shattered Heaven and destroyed His Fathers Love:
There is a light that shines upon this world,
And judges it as Christ would have it judged.
There is no condemnation on it. He
Beholds it sinless, in the light that shines
From His Own face. His vision looks upon
The sure reflection of His Fathers Love;
The picture calling up His memory.
What can remain of evil in the world
Christs vision looks upon? And what could still
Appear to me as fearful, with the light
Of His perfection on it? What could teach
Me sorrow has a cause, or death is real?
Help me forgive the world. The peace You give
In my forgiveness will be given me.

ENDING OUR RESISTANCE TO LOVE . The term resistance appears infrequently in A Course in Miracles, yet it is
the only concept that can satisfactorily explain the paradox of students sincerely attempting to learn and live its
principles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, while experiencing the ongoing frustration of not doing just that.
This is the topic explored in this book, which consists of an edited transcription of a talk given to a group of stu-
dents by Kenneth Wapnick, supplemented with two articles, co-authored with his wife Gloria, that appeared in the
Foundations newsletter, The Lighthouse. The focus is on the many forms of resistance and their basis in the fear
of love. Freuds valuable insights are discussed, along with Jesus role in helping us look without judgment at our
investment in maintaining the egos thought systemthe miracle that resolves the paradox.

OUR EARLIEST M EMORY. This five-day Academy class focuses on the symphonic nature of our lives, with the
theme of our lifes symphony being enunciated in our earliest memory. This themealmost always one of
victimizationgoes through a quasi-endless series of variations that comprise the fabric of our experience here.
Despite the profound wrong-minded investment in being unfairly treated, we can yet learn the right-minded
response of forgiveness that cancels out this memory, substituting the Holy Spirits present memory that awakens
us from the egos dreams of separation and specialness. Questions and discussion on related topics, such as the
metaphysics of time, punctuate the presentation.

EXCERPTS SERIES
The Inner Voice, the March 2004 seminar, is the subject of our next series of excerpts, which will follow the
completion of our series on gratitude. The teaching and discussion of readings in this class focus on the principle that
one cannot hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit without first hearing, recognizing, and then choosing against the inner voice
of the ego. This corrects the common misperception that in hearing an inner voice one is automatically hearing the Holy
Spirit. These excerpts can be found at the Foundations Web site at www.facim.org.

Times: 10:00 a.m. 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m.

A-4 L OVE MAKES NO C OMPARISONS

Dates: April 26 28 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-4D1 April 26 Fee: $40.00 A-4D2 April 27 Fee: $40.00 A-4D3 April 28 Fee: $40.00
This important idea characterizes the holy relationship, and is stated twice in A Course in Miracles (T-24.II.1:1; W-pI.195.4:2).
It reflects the total lack of judgment that is our goal as we practice the Courses principles of forgiveness. Ending our perception of
comparisons corrects the exclusivity that is the hallmark of the special relationship, which seeks always to fragment the Sonship that
the Holy Spirits true perception unifies.

A-5 T HE M ETHOD IN OUR EGOS M ADNESS

Dates: May 24 26 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-5D1 May 24 Fee: $40.00 A-5D2 May 25 Fee: $40.00 A-5D3 May 26 Fee: $40.00
The famous line from Hamlet (Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.) is the basis for this class on the egos purpose
of its thought system of separation and guilt, which results in a separated world of guilt and specialness; the egos twofold wish
being to sustain our separated existence, yet hold others responsible for it and our unhappy condition. Lecture, discussion, and read-
ings will help deepen understanding of the egos method of reinforcing its insane dream of separation, and how the shift to Jesus
forgiveness gently ends it.

A-6 T HE N EUTRAL WORLD

Dates: June 14 16 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-6D1 June 14 Fee: $40.00 A-6D2 June 15 Fee: $40.00 A-6D3 June 16 Fee: $40.00
A Course in Miracles tells us that the body is a wholly neutral thing (W-pII.299), meaning that once the body was made by the
ego to limit love (T-18.VIII.1:1-4) and the world made to attack God (W-pII.3.2:1), they become neutral, ready to serve either the
egos purpose of maintaining the dream, or the Holy Spirits purpose of awakening us from it. Thus our lives as bodies merely await
the minds decision. Lecture and readings augment discussion of this important topic.

A-7 L EADING L IVES OF Q UIET DESPERATION

Dates: July 12 14 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-7D1 July 12 Fee: $40.00 A-7D2 July 13 Fee: $40.00 A-7D3 July 14 Fee: $40.00
The famous line of ThoreauThe mass of men lead lives of quiet desperationis the basis of this class, which explores the
desperation and hopelessness that characterize the lives of most of us. The world itself offers little hope, having been made to keep
true hope hidden. This lies only in the mind, where the mistake was made and the only place it can be corrected. Through lecture,
discussion, and readings, we explore the nature of the problem (the egos special relationships) and how to gain access to the solu-
tion (the Holy Spirits forgiveness).

A-8 A PPEARANCE VERSUS R EALITY

Dates: August 9 11 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-8D1 August 9 Fee: $40.00 A-8D2 August 10 Fee: $40.00 A-8D3 August11 Fee: $40.00
Plato can be said to be the first philosopher to have explored the relationship between appearance and reality, what A Course in
Miracles calls illusion and truth. In our everyday lives, this contrast takes the form of distinguishing between the egos illusions of
attack and defense, and Jesus truth of our expressing love or calling for it. Thus the Courses metaphysical foundationappearance
versus realitywill be the backdrop against which we discuss forgiveness as the means of undoing the egos thought system of spe-
cialness by learning to correct the egos misperceptions.

A-9 A BOVE THE BATTLEGROUND

Dates: Sept. 13 15 Fee: $100.00 for entire program; $40.00 for each individual day.
A-9D1 September 13 Fee: $40.00 A-9D2 September 14 Fee: $40.00 A-9D3 September 15 Fee: $40.00
The section of the same name (T-23.IV) is the basis of this class, which will focus on asking Jesus for help to rise above the world
and see it through his eyes: the vision of Christ that perceives only the intrinsic sameness of Gods Son. Thus we are taught to rec-
ognize the same split mindwrong mind, right mind, decision makerin everyone we meet or even think about, looking beyond
the bodily differences that reinforce separation and breed conflict, to the love that is the common goal of all of us.
