"Let us suggest a way to move through your day. Against all that your separated senses tell you, try to see through the unity of the inner eye. It sees the One – the Light – the Wholeness. So, as you walk, as you move, remember you can see with this inner eye. You do it by reminding yourself that one thing is not more important than another. You look at everything with the intention of seeing the One in all things. You carry with you the intention to see the Wholeness of Consciousness."

THE COMING OF THE COSMIC CHRIST
Matthew Fox
|
|
| 1 |
"The Shalom of the Holy; the disclosure of the gracious Shekinah; Divine Wisdom; the empowering Matrix; She, in whom we live and move and have our being – She comes; She is here." Rosemary Ruether
|
|
| 2 |
"May we grant one another the opportunity to live out our dreams, to care for the wounded child in one another, and to pass on to others still unborn an earth as alive and diverse and wondrous as the one we have inherited."
|
|
| 3 |
"The fire at the center of the tepee, pipe, or of sweat lodge represents Wakan-Tanka, the Great Spirit within the world. How close this comes to Meister Eckhart's teaching that a 'spark of the soul' burns within every creature and every human that will never be extinguished and that this spark of the soul is the divine presence within us all. All of creation shares in this holiness."
|
|
| 4 |
"God's Word is in all creation, visible and invisible. The Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. The Word manifests in every creature." Hildegard of Bingen
|
|
| 5 |
"Humanity has the power and responsibility to increase the glory that is the divine presence in the cosmos."
|
|
| 6 |
"The Cosmic Christ IS the 'pattern that connects' and connecting is what all wisdom is about, as the philosopher Gabriel Marcel points out: 'The true function of the sage is surely the function of linking together, of bringing into harmony….the sage is truly linked with the universe.'"
|
|
| 7 |
"Ours is a time of emerging awareness of the interconnectivity of all things."
|
|
| 8 |
"The Divine One is the 'One who is with us', Emmanuel, 'God with us.'"
|
|
| 9 |
"The Spirit is the One who 'makes all things new.'"
|
|
| 10 |
"We need to worship in circles again, preferably on the soil of Mother Earth wherever possible. Circles invite all creatures to be part of the grateful event and they allow the humans present to look each other in the eye while rounding and connecting themselves in step with the universe."
|
|
| 11 |
"Creatures can be called God's words, because they manifest God's mind just like effects manifest their causes." Thomas Aquinas
|
|
| 12 |
"Divinity is not outside us. We are in God and God is in us."
|
|
| 13 |
"It is the heart that sees the primordial eternity of every creature." Hildegard of Bingen
|
|
| 14 |
"Hildegard of Bingen teaches that prayer is essentially the inhaling and exhaling of the one breath of the universe."
|
|
| 15 |
"Beloved child, come swiftly to Me, for I am truly in you. Remember this: The smallest soul of all is still the daughter of the Creator." Mechtild of Magdeburg
|
|
| 16 |
"Because all creatures contain the Word of God and express it, there is a radical equality of being that needs to be reverenced."
|
|
| 17 |
"The Cosmic Christ – the 'pattern that connects' – can connect all persons in the context of the shared sacredness, the shared reverence and awe of our existence."
|
|
| 18 |
"Healing is still possible. This is the hope that the Cosmic Christ, wounded but resurrected, holds out to our times."
|
|
| 19 |
"God is the dazzling light that constitutes the creative center of all life and movement. In that Point every 'where' and every 'when' are centered." Dante, 'The Divine Comedy', translated by Matthew Fox
|
|
| 20 |
"The creation of the world is not only a process which moves from God to humanity. God demands newness from humanity; God awaits the works of human freedom." Nicolas Berdyaev
|
|
| 21 |
"The holy omnipresence of the Divine One [is] in all things."
|
|
| 22 |
"A river passes through many countries and each claims it for its own. But there is only one river." Sheikh Ragip Frager, 'Love is the Wine: Talks of a Sufi Master'
|
|
| 23 |
"This is, after all, what Jesus came to teach persons, is it not? We are all divine sons and daughters with divine dignity and responsibilities."
|
|
| 24 |
"God created the soul in His own image and likeness." St. Teresa of Avila
|
|
| 25 |
"Since 'every creature is a word of God' as Meister Eckhart put it, it follows that Mother Earth is a special word of God: a unique expression of divine wisdom, of divine maternity and caring, of divine creativity and fruitfulness."
