Breathing Together: Building Race Unity Every Day

The social construct of race was created to separate us, resulting in humanity becoming splintered into many groups and communities, even though we have always in our historical past been nomads, wanderers, and migrants on this Earth. The more we began to spread out as a species, this distance increased and allowed for our false sense of superiority, and due to this erroneous belief in racial difference, it has now come to dominate our thinking, and we began to see our differences of color as differences in kind.

Arbitrarily dividing the world into different “races” was learned; so we can—and must—unlearn it. We need to replace it with the scientific and spiritual reality that humanity is a diverse but unified whole. We are one species, not many:
In order to fully achieve unity in diversity and realize the spiritual and material potential latent in our very creation, we must put these ideas and theories into practice. It’s not enough to just acknowledge the harmony of science and religion, we must find ways to integrate these spiritual and scientific truths into our lives and day-to-day actions.

The only force that can eliminate all forms of prejudice is love. From the Civil Rights movements of the past two centuries to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are seeing a new societal trend toward compassion, unity, and justice.
