"The fundamental unity and coherence of the universe are displayed most impressively in the order that pervades all of nature, not only in the uniformity of physical laws but also in the musical and mathematical proportions of all natural forms, from crystals and plants to spiral galaxies. This Pythagorean/Platonic conception of an underlying harmonic order is revealed in the persistent geometry of dynamic form." Emily B. Sellon and Renee Weber, 'Theosophy and The Theosophical Society'

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD, A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Harold Bloomfield, M.D. & Philip Goldberg, Ph.D.
|
|
| 1 |
"Home sweet home for the soul is to be face-to-face with the Holy."
|
|
| 2 |
"Choices send ripples throughout the universe, altering the world for better or for worse. Since we're already changing the world with every action we take, why not do it with the highest intention?"
|
|
| 3 |
"We yearn for the Divine because we ARE divine. It is our essential nature, the part of our identity that is created 'in the image and likeness of God' – and we are drawn to realize it the way rivers are obliged to run toward the sea and plants bend toward the sun."
|
|
| 4 |
"God is transcendent and also immanent, formless and form, beyond time and space and within time and space, perfect unity and infinite diversity, one and many, motionless and perpetual motion."
|
|
| 5 |
"What Ralph Waldo Emerson stated in the nineteenth century – 'I know with certainty that who I am does not end at the top of my head' – was echoed in the twentieth century by neuroscientists like Wilder Penfield and Karl Pribram. To them and others, consciousness is nonlocal, not confined to specific points in time and space but inextricably woven into the cosmic fabric."
|
|
| 6 |
"All of life's events can be made sacred, whether it's visiting friends, cooking a meal, bathing your child or paying your bills."
|
|
| 7 |
"God's very essence is love."
|
|
| 8 |
"In the final analysis, Creation is basically good."
|
|
| 9 |
"Yearning for God in every thought, directing every breath toward the One, intending no harm, that is prayer." Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
|
|
| 10 |
"We know enough now to state unequivocally that everything is connected, that we are all part of one another and everything each of us does affects the rest of the planet. We are also blessed with communication and transportation technologies that shrink the globe and bring together minds and bodies in ways that illuminate the unity of our diverse species. Most of all, we have the spiritual technologies to make Oneness a conscious reality not just an abstract idea, and to make kindness and compassion a felt experience not just a noble aspiration."
|
|
| 11 |
"Love is the delicate magnetic force that unifies diversity and brings wholeness to variety."
|
|
| 12 |
"Every spiritual tradition contains teachings that say, essentially, God is not hiding; God is present here and now, within and without, always and ever, in every here and every now….'Wherever you turn is God's face', said the prophet Muhammad, who also said, 'Whoever knows himself knows God.' Why? Because God is in us as us."
|
|
| 13 |
"Every place is hallowed ground. There is nowhere that God is not."
|
|
| 14 |
"Undoing the damage we have inflicted upon one another through the centuries begins with each of us choosing the good, the kind and the compassionate at every turn."
|
|
| 15 |
"The tools of illumination are the will to know, the will to love and the will to serve." Wu Li
|
|
| 16 |
"We are all the children of one God."
|
|
| 17 |
"From the individual to the universal, all that we see is the play and display of Creative Intelligence."
|
|
| 18 |
"The ideal of man is to see God in everything, but if you cannot see Him in everything, see Him in one thing, in that thing which you like best, and then see Him in another. So on you can go." Swami Vivekananda
|
|
| 19 |
"Gently remind yourself that everything you see, hear, touch, taste and smell contains the same divine spark as you do. 'God himself culminates in the present moment,' wrote [Henry David] Thoreau, 'and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages.'"
|
|
| 20 |
"The miracle is that, even in the midst of immense distress, human beings have managed to find the light."
|
|
| 21 |
"I am He whom I love and He whom I love is I." Al-Hallaj
|
|
| 22 |
"Deep down the universe is benign."
|
|
| 23 |
"All the great teachers have said: As you make your way through the mists of uncertainty, trust that the combined wisdom of your heart and mind will lead you to the truth."
|
|
| 24 |
"The memory of oceanic Oneness is part of our soul's code. It is buried deep in our awareness; our very brains are programmed to reclaim it."
|
|
| 25 |
"There is no place you can go where God can be left behind."
