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

"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."

"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."
|
|

"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

"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
|
|
| 5 |
"We are all roommates, cohabitating in a universe of unbroken wholeness."
|
|
| 6 |
"There is no place you can go where God can be left behind."
|
|
| 7 |
"One's self is the Self of the universe."
|
|
| 8 |
"In the final analysis, Creation is basically good."
|
|
| 9 |
"The miracle is that, even in the midst of immense distress, human beings have managed to find the light."
|
|
| 10 |
"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."
|
|
| 11 |
"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."
|
|
| 12 |
"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."

"Your heart beats on its own. Your lungs take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide without your willful assistance. Nature puts you to sleep and wakes you up. Why shouldn't life-supporting choices flow just as freely from a mind that's attuned to the evolutionary currents of the cosmos?"
|
|

"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
|
|
| 15 |
"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."
|
|
| 16 |
"All of life's events can be made sacred, whether it's visiting friends, cooking a meal, bathing your child or paying your bills."
|
|
| 17 |
"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?"
|
|
| 18 |
"We are all the children of one God."
|
|
| 19 |
"Home sweet home for the soul is to be face-to-face with the Holy."
|
|
| 20 |
"At its core, the Quintessential Self is radiant light, the essence of essence, the holiest of holies, the part of you that touches God."
|
|
| 21 |
"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."
|
|
| 22 |
"From the individual to the universal, all that we see is the play and display of Creative Intelligence."
|
|
| 23 |
"I am He whom I love and He whom I love is I." Al-Hallaj
|

"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."

"What we know as the Golden Rule has been stated and restated through the ages by every religion and every ethical philosophy. In ancient Jerusalem, Rabbi Hillel told a young seeker, 'What is hateful to you, do not do to others. That is the whole of the Torah. The rest is commentary.' In China, Confucius echoed Hillel: 'What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.' Islam puts it this way: 'No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.' In Leviticus it reads as a commandment, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,' words repeated by Jesus when the Pharisees challenged him, and later reframed in the Sermon on the Mount as, 'Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.' Perhaps Jesus had heard that Aristotle had said, three hundred years earlier, 'We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us."
