Unity is a Mystery. It does not homogenize outward appearances, nor does it abolish diversity. Instead, it reveals the common Father behind every being. It is the spiritual current that, rather than striving to ascend to the heavens with towers, descends humbly into souls to elevate them from within, toward the Divine. Unity is not built with bricks, mortar, and knowledge—but with prayer, sacrifice, and Love.
Beloved brother,
In the history of humanity, a Tower once rose—not only of stone and clay, but of arrogance and division: the Tower of Babel. In its spiritual meaning, this symbol testifies to humankind’s attempt to reach God by seizing power, fragmenting unity, and detaching from the Source of Truth. Babel is not merely a historical event; it represents every moment when man withdraws from true communion with the Other and turns away from obedience to the Divine Mind.
In contrast to this fall, the teaching of Unity emerges. Where Babel sowed confusion, rivalry, and linguistic alienation, Unity builds a Consciousness of Divine Communion. In Unity, there is no fall of one against another—there is a collective ascent toward the One.
Babel is the symbol of self-scattering. It is the denial of the Divine Liturgy and the adoption of human self-sufficiency. It is the delusion that man can build spiritual elevation on his own, without divine guidance. Thus, the outcome was confusion: the scattering of speech, thoughts, and hearts.
But Unity is a Mystery. It does not impose uniformity nor dissolve uniqueness. Rather, it unveils the shared Father behind every form of life. It is the spiritual stream that does not climb with human construction toward the heavens, but instead descends as humility into the depths of souls, uplifting them from the inside out. Unity is not built with bricks and lime and learning, but with prayer, sacrifice, and Love.
Babel collapsed when it ceased to abide by the Law of Divine Functioning. Unity rises when a human being operates as a wholeness—when the intellectual, emotional, and material expressions are harmonized under the Word of God and become instruments of Love and Light. Then there is no distortion, but transformation. No division, but a Symphony of Spirits.
Humanity today is once again living the Babel experience—only now with a different tongue, with technology, with ideologies. Yet the spiritual need remains unchanged: to heal the fragmentation and reunite the human body in the heart of God.
Unity begins with each of us. When I cease to judge and begin to love; when I stop building barriers and begin raising bridges; when I abandon the Babel of ego and return to the Universality of Being. There, in the inner Silence, the new Liturgy is born—the true Pentecost—where all members speak a common language: the language of Grace. Let us not rebuild Babel. Let us instead construct within ourselves the Temple of Unity. For only then, “may all be one,” and wherever two or three gather in the name of the Father, there the Word rests, and the Body becomes Whole. Amen.
