In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

Jesus said, ‚The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.‘ I think if he lived nowadays, instead of ‚kingdom,‘ he would have said, ‚dimension.‘ And ‚heaven‘ refers to a sense of vastness or spaciousness.

Wanting to feel good is synonymous with wanting to feel God.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

I’m a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I’m even afraid of it – it’s a learned affectation and it’s just stuck on me like decals. Now I pray for humility because that comes from inside out.

Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is theoretically possible.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

Absence and death are the same – only that in death there is no suffering.

What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.

We are eternal beings – spirit children of heavenly parents.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

If you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.

The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

God’s first creature, which was light.

People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering. You have to confront suffering. You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.

I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient.

My word will never be as strong as God’s word. All I am is just a vessel, doing His work.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

My purpose is to help people look at themselves and begin to shift their concepts. Remember, we are not our country, our race, or religion. We are eternal spirits. Seeing ourselves as spiritual beings without label is a way to transform the world and reach a sacred place for all of humanity.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

You might say, ‚Can’t we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?‘ In this way we’d become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.

I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness. Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.

A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.

A saint serves others, knowing that the more one serves, the greater the opportunity for the Spirit to sanctify and purify.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.

All religions have been made by men.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

Spiritual people don’t float around all day on clouds of glory; they live in the real world and deal with real issues in real ways.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

God has entrusted me with myself.

Your Highest Self is not just an idea that sounds lofty and spiritual. It is a way of being. It is the very first principle that you must come to understand and embrace as you move toward attracting to you that which you want and need for this parenthesis in eternity that you know as your life.

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

If you’ve lost your spirit, even living in the richest country in the world can’t help you become rich.

Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

To feel not only submitted but willing to be anything or nothing as the Lord wills it – this is, in truth, to sing a song to our Well Beloved.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

I serve God.

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.
