* In our innermost Spirit - we nourish the gentleness
and understanding of Peace.
Those around us feel a gentle breeze
whispering as if rustling leaves -
Peace comes not from contemplation-
but action!
-- Pauline Tangiora


* "It is the inner life that is to spark the change in consciousness that will permit us to advance
-- Brother Wayne Teasdale

"Every one of us is a mystic. We may or may not realize it, we may not even like it. But whether we know it or not, whether we accept it or not, mystical experience is always there, inviting us on a journey of ultimate discovery. We have been given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless love, caring compassion, and wisdom. Existence is a summons to the eternal journey of the sage - the sage we all are, if only we could see."
-- Brother Wayne Teasdale


* We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
-- Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

* Love is a fruit in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, prayer, sacrifice, and an intense inner life.
~ Mother Teresa

* "Enlightenment is not meant to be an object of religious faith. It is an evolutionary goal, something we want to become..."
-- Robert Thurman

* Certainly the vision of the spiritual nature of man and the universe brings the conviction that the human potential is unlimited and that we stand at the threshold over which a quantum leap in consciousness is possible.
~ George Trevelyan

"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."
-- Desmond Tutu

* We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.
-- Jim Wallis

And we're seeing a higher level of consciousness and many more opportunities for people to challenge their present ways of thinking and move into a grander and larger experience of who they really are.
~ Neale Donald Walsch

* As the new spirituality begins to become the pervasive spirituality of the planet, we'll find that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win.
~ Neale Donald Walsch

 

If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.
~ Neale Donald Walsch

* Conscious business.. business that is conscious of inner and outer worlds.. would therefore be business that takes into account body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature. Put differently, conscious business would be mindful of the way that the spectrum of consciousness operates in the Big Three worlds of self and culture and nature.
-- Ken Wilber

In the context of interfaith encounter, we need to bring to the surface how our actual beliefs shape what we do - not simply to agree that kindness is better than cruelty.
-- Rowan D. Williams

* The spiritual path -- is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don't know it.
-- Marianne Williamson

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
-- Marianne Williamson
