"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?"

"One's self is the Self of the universe."

"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."

"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."

"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."
|
|

"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."

"The times when God seems absent are also the times God is close, tangible and real." Rev. William Grimbol

"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.'"

"We are all roommates, cohabitating in a universe of unbroken wholeness."
|
|

"From the individual to the universal, all that we see is the play and display of Creative Intelligence."
|

"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."

"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."
|
|
| 13 |
"The miracle is that, even in the midst of immense distress, human beings have managed to find the light."
|
|
| 14 |
"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."
|
|
| 15 |
"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."
|
|
| 16 |
"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
|
|
| 17 |
"The eternal Oneness underlies and permeates all impermanent phenomena."
|
|
| 18 |
"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."
|
|
| 19 |
"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

"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."
|
|
| 21 |
"In the final analysis, Creation is basically good."
|
|
| 22 |
"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."

"Yearning for God in every thought, directing every breath toward the One, intending no harm, that is prayer." Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"God's very essence is love."
