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!

Tangiora

in consciousness that will permit us to advance

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. -- 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.
-- Marianne
Williamson
