"From the Lord's Prayer (Thy will be done) to the Taoist idea of 'wu-wei' (action through nonaction), the consensus among spiritual masters is that to come into full ownership of our being we have to abandon ourselves to divine providence." Michael Grosso, 'The Cult of the Guardian Angel'

GOD IS A VERB, KABBALAH AND THE PRACTICE OF MYSTICAL JUDAISM
Rabbi David A. Cooper
|
|

"The Creator's continuous radiation of creative force never ceases from the world; in every instant these vital emanations radiate to Its creations, to all the worlds." Rebbe Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev, 18th century Hasidic master
|
|

"The Holy One is the Soul of souls, the Spirit of spirits." Zohar 1:103b
|
|
3 |
"Love can be viewed as a unity, a ubiquitous oneness."
|
|
4 |
"The linchpin of our relationship with God is founded on the belief that human beings have creative capability to intervene in the 'normal' course of events. One word, one gesture, or even one thought can change the direction of the creative process. This being so, we are led to conclude that human beings play a cocreative role."
|
|
5 |
"Human consciousness is informed by a soul force that gives it the capacity to emulate the infinite Bestower."
|
|
6 |
"Perhaps you feel that having an intimate relationship with the Divine is beyond you, reserved for others….This is not so. It is part of our heritage; it is yours and mind to have. All we need do is learn how to let go of our fear, for fear maintains the barriers of separation."
|
|
7 |
"God's presence is everywhere, including one's own consciousness
|
|
8 |
"The greater our awareness, the more our perception of multiplicity dissolves."
|
|
9 |
"Herein lies the ultimate truth of existence, the God-ing and creation-ing as one process everlasting."
|
|
10 |
"Whatever happens anywhere in the universe reverberates throughout the totality of creation. Thus our lives are affected by what is happening everywhere; moreover, whatever we do in our lives affects everything in the universe."
|
|
11 |
"Every aspect of creation interrelates with every other….every thought, word, or action reverberates throughout the entire creation."
|
|
12 |
"Nothing is inconsequential. Each grain of sand holds amazing secrets. Each event contains mysterious messages. Every encounter with another being is a point of contact upon which the universe pivots. When we enter into this frame of mind, reality as we see it becomes a vast opportunity to experience the interconnectedness of all creation. From this perspective, we come to the realization that every piece is integral in the unfolding of creation, including us."
|
|
13 |
"Everything in the universe is a vessel that 'wills' to receive the light of the infinite bestower. Each molecule, plant, animal, rock and human is a vessel; each has the 'will' to be exactly what it is."
|
|
14 |
"We can experience in the depths of our beings the realization that for each step we take, the Divine steps with us; each breath we draw is connected with the breath of the universe."
|
|
15 |
"The ultimate truth of the Divine is Oneness."
|
|
16 |
"Our acts of lovingkindness not only matter, they are the medium through which we can bring the world together in a new era of human relationship."
|
|
17 |
"One's actions, particularly deeds of lovingkindness, profoundly impact upon the universe. Minor actions can have significant consequences;…everything happening to us is connected with a complex weave of variables. Moreover, angelic forces are associated with our thoughts, words and deeds."
|
|
18 |
"The world is an integrated whole, not a collection of parts….Individuals and nations are not separate; everyone and everything is interconnected."
|
|
19 |
"Mystics teach that there is a universal connection among all things; modern science offers the same message."
|
|
20 |
"Eternal life is available to every one of us, here and now."
|
|
21 |
"There is only one reality, and all multiplicity is imaginary. The world seems pluralistic only because our awareness has limitations."
|
|
22 |
"We are copartners with God-ing in the cosmic process, and each person has the full freedom of choice to change the universe. Nothing we do, say, or think is inconsequential; every action affects not only this reality but also other realities, and all of creation is interconnected."
|
|
23 |
"Our job is not to set up a battleground to eradicate evil, but to search out its spark of holiness. Our task is not to destroy but to build, not to hate but to find a place of yielding, not to polarize but to discover the points of commonality so that we can work together. Learn this lesson, dear friends, it will serve you well."
|
|
24 |
"May our lives be filled with the ongoing truth in which we are saturated with love, caring, and kindness. And may we serve the world from the level of awareness."
|
|
25 |
"Each part in the universe is in dynamic relationship with every other part."
