"If there were no real internal propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level – indeed in the molecule itself – it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up, with us, in 'hominised' form."
The Phenomenon of Man - Pierre Teilhard deChardin

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD, A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Harold Bloomfield, M.D. & Philip Goldberg, Ph.D.
|
|
| 1 |
"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 times when God seems absent are also the times God is close, tangible and real." Rev. William Grimbol
|
|
| 3 |
"The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. We are the ones we have been waiting for." Tomas Baneya, Hopi (Native American) elder
|
|
| 4 |
"Deep down the universe is benign."
|
|
| 5 |
"We are blessed beings, eternally embraced by divine love."
|
|
| 6 |
"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."
|
|

"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."

"Yearning for God in every thought, directing every breath toward the One, intending no harm, that is prayer." Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
|
|
| 9 |
"At its core, the Quintessential Self is radiant light, the essence of essence, the holiest of holies, the part of you that touches God."
|
|
| 10 |
"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."
|
|
| 11 |
"Home sweet home for the soul is to be face-to-face with the Holy."
|
|
| 12 |
"God can be seen as infinite generosity, ever and always giving him- or herself away like the sun gives away light – or, to use biblical imagery, like a burning bush that is not consumed by its flame. As manifestations of the sacred, created so to speak in the image and likeness of God, our very nature is generosity. The more access we have to the inexhaustible source of love and goodness at the center of our being, the easier and more natural it is to give some of it away."
|
|
| 13 |
"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."
|
|
| 14 |
"The miracle is that, even in the midst of immense distress, human beings have managed to find the light."
|
|
| 15 |
"In the final analysis, Creation is basically good."
|
|
| 16 |
"Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and use it for a purpose greater than myself." Oprah Winfrey
|
|
| 17 |
"I am He whom I love and He whom I love is I." Al-Hallaj
|
|
| 18 |
"The tools of illumination are the will to know, the will to love and the will to serve." Wu Li
|
|
| 19 |
"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."
|
|
| 20 |
"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"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."
|
|
| 22 |
"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
|
|
| 23 |
"The main impetus for change will come from the millions of individuals like you, who are experiencing directly the peace of God and thereby know – not just believe, not just understand, but know – that the spokes of all religions merge at the hub of divine union. Those who embrace that truth can lead the way to a collective spiritual awakening."
|
|
| 24 |
"The more you appreciate the world, the more you love it; the more you love the world, the more you appreciate it. This loving appreciation is no mere emotion. It is an immense, dynamic, coherent state of consciousness in which everything is embraced as part of one adorable whole."
|
|
| 25 |
"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."
