"Together with minerals, plants and animals, we make up the body and consciousness of a single living organism – Earth. We move within this body, intricately related to and dependent upon every other part of it."
|
|
| 2 |
"One part of nature cannot be isolated from another, so action taken against any part sets up a chain of events that affects the whole."
|
|
| 3 |
"God is everywhere. He is not large. He is not small."
|
|
| 4 |
"All have the breath of God in them. The air you breathe – is it not full of God, is it not your life force? All of creation shares in it, contributes something to it."
|
|
| 5 |
"God is an indwelling presence, the core of what I am and what everything is. God is life itself, speaking through all life."
|
|
| 6 |
"The truth is within me and within you – the whole of it. Where anything exists, God is. Not part of God but God indivisible."
|
|
| 7 |
"Man has the divine power of transcendence, of moving beyond pre-set patterns, of bridging the dimensions of form and spirit, potential and actuality, image and fulfillment."
|
|
| 8 |
"You, too, are parts of the whole – part of that clod of earth, part of that tiny flower, part of the sunshine and the rain, the light in another's eye, the warmth of another's smile."

"Love is the energy of acceptance that cuts through the apparent barriers and links us with every part of life."
|
|

"To heal the Earth, which is our greater body, we must create an ecological balance within as well as without. We do so by recognizing that the basis of life is interrelationship."
|
|
| 11 |
"We would shout it in words of fire that oneness is."
|
|
| 12 |
"As human beings, we can choose to see each element of creation as separate. Or we can choose to see the one life that is within them all."
|
|
| 13 |
"As we begin to recognize God in every aspect of the world around us, that part of the world is redeemed, until ultimately the whole planet is redeemed."
|
|
| 14 |
"We share the one limitless energy that is within all life forms and actions. When we accept and acknowledge the beauty and perfection of each form this energy takes, we experience oneness."
|
|
| 15 |
"There is no end to God's gifts to his creation. In all this we are one, without separation. Let us extend that oneness to all levels, and let us do it here and now."
|
|
| 16 |
"The more God's creatures know of one another the greater the unity and peace."
|
|
| 17 |
"This is one great use for memory, to recall the oneness of life."
|
|
| 18 |
"We are One."
|
|
| 19 |
"Man has freedom of choice and thus the power to create."
|
|
| 20 |
"If we treat everything as alive, intelligent and part of the One Life, our own life is greatly enriched."
|
|
| 21 |
"The esoteric traditions of all cultures speak of the 'withinness' of things that seeks to externalize and to fulfill itself. If we think of our planet as an organic, growing system – a living being – then it, too, has an image of fulfillment buried within its seed center, an image that is using all of nature as its means of emergence."
|
|
| 22 |
"All living things are part of the whole, placed there by divine plan and purpose."
|
|
| 23 |
"What we call opposites are only complementary parts of a greater whole."
|
|
| 24 |
"We have many opportunities every day through which to learn of the unity in apparent separation. We can work toward it in every moment."
|
|
| 25 |
"Love is always the fundamental key in guiding our awareness."
