"'The Kingdom is inside you,' Jesus is telling all of us; it is our inmost consciousness, that divine consciousness in us that is our real consciousness, which, one with the Godhead, intuitively sees and knows the real as the play and work of love; looking for it anywhere else is to wander in darkness."

"For God, every soul is sacred and blessed and always God's child; the soul may forget its home and inheritance and identity, but God never forgets and acts in thousands of secret and overt ways to remind the soul of its real nature."

"The universe is a sacred marriage between God and matter, spirit and flesh, an entirely sacred holy emanation of divine love; the destiny of human life is to live this sacred marriage here on earth, with as complete and compassionate a consciousness as possible."

"As Mohammed said, 'He who knows himself, knows his Lord.' 'Knows,' in other words, beyond thought or dogma or any possible formulation, that 'he and the Lord are one,' or, as Jesus put it, 'I and the Father are one.'"

"Just as Jesus in Christing himself became a living self-conscious flame of the eternal creative fire of God, so all those Christed in him will become flames of the birth-giving fire, persons, like the Christ, wholly lit up with the love-wisdom of the supreme Person, one with that One in joy, gnosis, charity, and final creative bliss."
