God - Spirit

Mary Antin
We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later...Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.

In orbiting the sun, the earth departs from a straight line by one-ninth of an inch every eighteen miles - a very straight line in human terms. If the orbit changed by one tenth of an inch every eighteen miles, our orbit would be vastly larger, and we would all freeze to death. One- eighth of an inch? We would all be incinerated.

Everything is a gift of the universe - even joy, anger, jealously, frustration, or separateness. Everything is perfect either for our growth or our enjoyment.

Jim Wallis
Jesus is not a blue-eyed right-winger. Jesus is the one who entered the world among the dispossessed and the outcasts to announce an entirely new way of thinking and living. The way of Jesus and the prophets...moves us beyond the poor, controlling the poor, or even "helping" the poor from places of isolation and comfort. Instead, it leads us to a new relationship with one another, a deep reconnection, a restoration of the shattered covenant.


Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs, but rather how to remain human in the skyscrapers.

Nathan Pusey
The finest fruit of serious learning should be the ability to speak the word God without reserve or embarassment.

Thomas Merton
Looking for God is like seeking a path in a field of snow; if there is no path and you are looking for one, walk across it and there is your path.

Vivekananda
There is really no difference between matter, mind and spirit.There are only different phases of experiencing the One. This very world is seen by the five senses as matter, by the very wicked as hell, by the good as heaven, and by the perfect as God.
