SHADOWS OF THE SACRED: SEEING THROUGH SPIRITUAL ILLUSIONS
Frances Vaughan, Ph.D.
|
|
| 1 |
"Compassion sees the One in the many. Wisdom sees the many as One."
|
|
| 2 |
"There is no freedom from fear in a world of illusion, for the mind always projects the shadow onto something or someone perceived as other."
|
|
| 3 |
"Nothing is excluded from the circle of wholeness."
|
|
| 4 |
"We light the way for each other when we share and extend love, whatever form it takes. Love is not subject to birth or death; it is infinite, changeless and eternal, and it appears in many forms. In this sense, love is the bright, clear radiance of pure nondual awareness."
|
|
| 5 |
"The circle is a symbol of wholeness, totality and individuation."
|
|
| 6 |
"Love as a universal experience that illuminates the spiritual path is a source of healing and guidance at every step along the way. By clearing away the blocks to our awareness of love's presence we reawaken to its original blessing."
|
|
| 7 |
"The deeper we go into our own suffering and sorrow, the more we discover that the seeds of love and healing lie hidden under the pain."
|
|
| 8 |
"Love is stronger than death. It does not die when the body dies and cannot be limited by laws or logic. Love pervades existence, even in the midst of suffering."
|
|
| 9 |
"As we become increasingly aware of our global interdependence as a species, we can also deepen awareness of our spiritual connectedness. We cannot live in total isolation. The crosscultural communion of awakened souls may be a key to cocreating a sustainable future and living in harmony with the earth."
|

"As our soul contemplates its Archetype, so that Archetype in turn contemplates the One, which is its Source." Plotinus
|
|
| 11 |
"Wisdom knows that behind the Many is the One." Ken Wilber, 'Sex, Ecology and Spirituality'
|
|
| 12 |
"The phenomenal world of matter and individualized consciousness is the manifestation of a Divine Ground within which all creatures and partial realities have their being and apart from which they would not exist.'
|
|
| 13 |
"Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose the bliss of the touch of the one in the play of the many." Rabindranath Tagore, 'Gitanjali'
|
|
| 14 |
"Love the beauty inside yourself and other people as much as the beauty of nature, light, color and sound perceived by the physical senses."
|
|
| 15 |
"Underlying both personal impulses to growth and all creative cultural enterprises is the fundamental impulse that seeks unitive consciousness."
|
|
| 16 |
"Freedom from fear lets us say yes to life. When we have seen past the shadow, everything can be perceived as grace."
|
|
| 17 |
"For the awakened soul perception is a mirror, and the play of light and shadow reveals the bright radiance of eternity."
|
|
| 18 |
"The soul comes to rest only in its true home, the Source of love."
|
|
| 19 |
"The Self is one with Spirit, as the Source of all being."
|
|
| 20 |
"Shadows are dispelled when we begin to see the world through the eyes of love and acceptance rather than judgment."
|
|
| 21 |
"Love expressed as altruism is found in all cultures, not only in social service and philanthropy, but among parents, teachers, healers, mentors, friends and lovers of all persuasions."
|
|
| 22 |
"Healing is a process of remembering, of reconnecting with our wholeness." Christina Grof, 'The Thirst for Wholeness'
|
|
| 23 |
"Compassion knows that the One is the Many, that the One is expressed equally in each and every being, and so each is to be treated with compassion and care…because each being, exactly as it is, is a perfect manifestation of Spirit. Thus compassion sees that the One is the Many." Ken Wilber, 'Sex, Ecology and Spirituality'
|
|
| 24 |
"Giving is the highest expression of potency. In the very act of giving, I experience my strength, my wealth, my power. This experience of heightened vitality and potency fills me with joy." Erich Fromm, 'The Art of Loving'
|
|
| 25 |
"The one reality is, for the mystic, an object of love that draws us homeward under the guidance of the heart."
