An important distinction.  

The former way of putting it (Patrick's statement) implies that
the force doing the uniting is Unity itself, as if it were sentient.
That's certainly one way of seeing the situation, but it isn't
necessary to postulate the state of consciousness of Unity.  
Jeff's statement does more justice to the idea that Unity (eter-
nity, Self, whatever) has always been present.  There was no
need for anything to "try" to live it in us...it was already there.
All that was necessary was for us to realize this.
