For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall or partition between us (Ephesians 2:14).
This is not only one of the most beautiful texts in the Bible, but one of the most important. Consider what it says. First, that God is our peace; next, that not only are we and God one (all spiritual teachers say that) but that it is He who has made us one. We are one because that is the nature of being since He has made us that way. Then the inspired writer uses a figure of s peech. He reminds us that when we lost our sense of unity with God, it is exactly as though a wall was built between God and ourselves. When that happens communication is broken and we are no longer one in consciousness, until, of course, the wall is pulled down.
In any difficulty the one important thing is to have the temporary wall of partition pulled down, and to let God do it—for only He can.
It is primarily our false sense of self that separates us from God. When we see ourselves in terms of a small, self-contained individual, defined by our body and thoughts, we lose our communication with God. Then vanity, pride and ego take root in our consciousness and raise barriers to our true self-awareness as part of God. When we view ourselves truly as being one with God, then he will remove all partitions. Then we will live in peace within the Garden he gave us instead of struggling through the world we have created.
