MAKING PEACE WITH GOD, A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Harold Bloomfield, M.D. & Philip Goldberg, Ph.D.

"How about practicing by seeing the spark of the Divine in the next person you encounter, as in the traditional Hindu greeting, 'Namaste'? From there it can spread, one step at a time."
|
|

"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?"
|
|

"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
|
|
| 4 |
"We are blessed beings, eternally embraced by divine love."
|
|
| 5 |
"Prayer is the energy feedback God gets from us, His creation. Prayer completes the circuit of God's energy and helps to keep it flowing." Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi
|
|
| 6 |
"We are all the children of one God."
|
|
| 7 |
"Love is the delicate magnetic force that unifies diversity and brings wholeness to variety."
|
|

"The peace of God is in every moment, whether you've made peace with God or not. 'There is a crack in everything', sang Leonard Cohen. 'That's how the light gets in'. By fixing the radar of consciousness fully on the present, you may very well locate the crack where divine Presence shines through."

"The tools of illumination are the will to know, the will to love and the will to serve." Wu Li
|
|
| 10 |
"Home sweet home for the soul is to be face-to-face with the Holy."
|
|
| 11 |
"We are all roommates, cohabitating in a universe of unbroken wholeness."
|
|
| 12 |
"Evidence suggests that the original meaning of the phrase that has come down to us as 'fear of God' was something more like awe. And awe, wrote Abraham Joshua Heschel, 'enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal'."
|
|
| 13 |
"The miracle is that, even in the midst of immense distress, human beings have managed to find the light."
|
|
| 14 |
"God's love is the cosmic glue that binds us, one to the other and all to the One. It is here, now. It is there, then. It is. Love emanates from existence itself, like heat emanates from fire."
|
|
| 15 |
"The peace of the awakened individual spreads, not only through acts of goodness but by pulsating outward like radio waves through prayer, meditation and the pure emanations of the soul."
|
|
| 16 |
"At its core, the Quintessential Self is radiant light, the essence of essence, the holiest of holies, the part of you that touches God."
|
|
| 17 |
"The eternal Oneness underlies and permeates all impermanent phenomena."
|
|
| 18 |
"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."
|
|
| 19 |
"In the view of every wisdom tradition, the essence of the universe is love and light and goodness. Our grand purpose is to awaken to our essential nature, which is the very same love and light and goodness."
|
|
| 20 |
"It is in our best interest to be kind and compassionate. Kindness not only comes back to us, often in rewards too subtle to notice, but it brings us closer to God by making us feel worthy of grace and protecting us from toxic relationships that throw tension and distress in the way of peace."
|
|
| 21 |
"All of life's events can be made sacred, whether it's visiting friends, cooking a meal, bathing your child or paying your bills."
|
|
| 22 |
"The love of God is eternally present, like gravity or electro-magnetism. We don't have to earn it, we have to awaken to it."
|
|
| 23 |
"God's will may not come to you in verbal or visual messages, or as anything you can articulate. It might just come as a deeply felt sense of where to go, what to do and how to act in the world from moment to moment. Clues might arrive in dreams, reveries or flashes of intuition, or in synchronistic meetings and moments, like a seemingly chance encounter with another person or a passage in a book you open in a random instance."

"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."
|
|
| 25 |
"Now is the 'some day' of our myths, a time to realize humanity's ancient dream of Heaven's peace on Earth. One by one we awaken ourselves; all in one we awaken the planet. We human beings, fashioned out of stardust millions of light-years ago, are capable of remembering and re-experiencing our original home in the peace of God. With that awareness, we can cocreate with God a world that is fully worthy of our stature as spiritual beings in human form – a civilization that delivers divine peace to every soul, turning Homo sapiens into Homo universalis, the human race into human Grace."
