"Man is indeed a mystery, since he contains germinally within himself all his Creator's manifested attributes and powers and, in addition, those which will continue to become manifest throughout unending ages."

GOD IS A VERB, KABBALAH AND THE PRACTICE OF MYSTICAL JUDAISM
Rabbi David A. Cooper
|
|
1 |
"Eternal life is available to every one of us, here and now."
|
|
2 |
"Divine providence includes every ripple that has been sent into the universe by every person who has ever lived and every event that has ever taken place."
|
|
3 |
"Free will at its core is…the ability to bestow light."
|
|
4 |
"Understand this important teaching: When we accept each moment as a new opportunity for fulfilling our purpose, we are always present, always succeeding, always changing the world for the better."
|
|
5 |
"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."
|
|
6 |
"Human consciousness is informed by a soul force that gives it the capacity to emulate the infinite Bestower."
|
|
7 |
"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."
|
|
8 |
"All living souls in the world cumulatively make up part of a universal soul….the soul giving us vitality is connected to, and draws sustenance from, a universal soul."
|
|
9 |
"Each time we make use of our free will by giving, we are in copartnership with the infinite Bestower. When this is accomplished with clear awareness of what we are doing, we raise the consciousness of creation."
|
|
10 |
"You may fall to the lowest depths, heaven forbid, but no matter how low you have fallen, it is still inappropriate to give up hope. The ability to return to God surpasses everything, and so there is no room for despair. Even sins can be transformed into virtue; even your failings and shortcomings can be brought back to God."
|
|
11 |
"Our entire life is a perpetual experience of resurrection, if only we were able to perceive it in this way."
|
|
12 |
"The world is an integrated whole, not a collection of parts….Individuals and nations are not separate; everyone and everything is interconnected."
|
|
13 |
"Nothing is separate, except for the 'sense' of separateness, a feeling which is readily disproven."
|
|
14 |
"Each moment, as God-ing unfolds, we begin anew. Each moment is an opportunity to be fully who we are, or even who we think we want to be. It is always available to us."
|
|
15 |
"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."
|
|
16 |
"God's presence is everywhere, including one's own consciousness
|
|
17 |
"The ancient kabbalistic idea is a holistic, energetic model of the universe. It cuts across layers of reality and includes every possible dimension of creation….According to this Jewish mystical viewpoint, everything and every 'non-thing' that ever was or will be in creation is interconnected."
|
|
18 |
"There is only one reality, and all multiplicity is imaginary. The world seems pluralistic only because our awareness has limitations."
|
|
19 |
"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."
|
|
20 |
"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
|
|
21 |
"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."
|
|
22 |
"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."
|
|
23 |
"All of creation is interconnected and interdependent. There is no subject or object, for each arises simultaneously with the other and cannot exist on its own."
|
|
24 |
"Every aspect of creation interrelates with every other….every thought, word, or action reverberates throughout the entire creation."
|
|
25 |
"The dimension of this moment is supported in its entirety by the nature of the Divine. Thus there is a vital relationship between God and every aspect of creation. Each breath I draw is initiated, sustained, and nourished by the power of creation. Each event is permeated by the magic of the Divine Presence."
