"Ultimately, the message of the Unity of Life will be recognised as a divine instruction, as impelling summons, an irresistible command. When this time comes there will be health for mankind and peace upon Earth."
Basic Theosophy - Geoffrey Hodson

WRESTLING WITH THE PROPHETS, ESSAYS ON CREATION SPIRITUALITY AND EVERYDAY LIFE
Matthew Fox
|
|
1 |
"How nobly man is constituted by nature, and how divine is the state to which he can come by grace." Meister Eckhart
|
|
2 |
"Compassion is an awareness of our ontological togetherness, of the kinship of all creation and all being."
|
|
3 |
"Faith is said to drive out fear, and so does love. And the Father-Creator of all watches over even the sparrow falling from the nest, so there is no need to fear."
|
|
4 |
"Compassionate healing by way of justice making is the greatest of the gifts we return to creation and the Creator."
|
|
5 |
"'If I spent enough time with a caterpillar', [Meister] Eckhart vows, 'I would never have to prepare a sermon because one caterpillar is so full of God.'"
|
|
6 |
"Every time we birth beauty or justice or truth or compassion, we are cocreators with God birthing divinity itself."
|
|
7 |
"Our thinking about spirituality cannot take place from armchairs or academic towers but must include the dirtying of the hands, the stretching of the heart, the opening of the mystic inside….the encountering of our greatest mystics of the past and present, the struggle for justice on many levels of society and its institutions and of our psyches, and the coming together of mystical traditions of East, West, North, and South."
|
|
8 |
"Interrelatedness, seeing the oneness of all things and their interconnections, is the essence of compassion."
|
|
9 |
"There cannot but be one wisdom….Humans must therefore all agree that there is but one most simple wisdom whose power is infinite." Nicholas of Cusa, 'Opera Omnia'
|
|
10 |
"It is no small thing to proclaim…that human beings are made in the 'image and likeness of God.'…Does it mean that every human being is an artist and that in this discovery of one's vocation to create is found the Creator of all?"
|
|
11 |
"The ultimate vocation is to serve others by responding creatively to the needs of one's times."
|
|
12 |
"The power of our ancestors is with us very much at this time."
|
|
13 |
"God has arranged all things in the world in consideration of everything else." Hildegard of Bingen
|
|
14 |
"God is found not only in the light and glory of creation but also in absolute darkness."
|
|
15 |
"God hugs you. You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God." Hildegard of Bingen
|
|
16 |
"Now consider this: God is in everything, but God is nowhere as much as he is in the soul. There, where time never enters, where no image shines in, in the innermost and deepest aspect of the soul God creates the whole cosmos. Everything which God created millions of years ago and everything which will be created by God after millions of years – God is creating all that in the innermost and deepest realms of the soul." Meister Eckhart
|
|
17 |
"Every single person is a unique expression of the Cosmic Christ. As the mystics say, everyone is a unique mirror of God."
|
|
18 |
"Beauty is the purpose of history; peace, harmony, unity, music are different words that express the same reality. To be religious is to give your life so that the world may be more beautiful, more just, more at peace; it is to prevent egotistical and self-serving ends from disrupting this harmony of the whole." Arturo Paoli, 'Meditations on Saint Luke'
|
|
19 |
"The image I have of the Godhead is a great big cosmic Mama with creation on her lap."
|
|
20 |
"In the whole of the history of the human race, no two musicians have spontaneously written the same song, no two painters have painted the same painting – an infinite capacity for creativity. If we want to remake our civilization, we must remake it around what is the Spirit in us: mind, heart, and creativity."
|
|
21 |
"There can be no thing that does not have within it the signature of God, the Creator of life, the living substance out of which all particular manifestations arise." Howard Thurman
|
|
22 |
"The oldest hymns of the Christian liturgy, those found in the epistles to the Ephesians (1:3-2:3), to the Colossians (1:15-20), and to the Philippians (2:6-11), celebrate the Cosmic Christ who 'fills the whole creation' and 'reconciles all thngs in heaven and all things on earth.'"
|
|
23 |
"It is built into us to be able to bring about justice."
|
|
24 |
"Jewish Wisdom literature taught that the 'spirit of the Lord fills the whole universe' (Wis. 1:7). Jewish cosmology teaches that the universe is one and that we are part of it and can know our place in it."
|
|
25 |
"Human beings give a home to the divine within them."
