Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.

People say maybe we have a soul and chimpanzees don’t. I feel that it’s quite possible that if we have souls, chimpanzees have souls as well.

Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.

Sometimes I just sit still and enjoy God’s presence.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao.

The true identity theft is not financial. It’s not in cyberspace. It’s spiritual. It’s been taken.

It’s certainly not wrong to want to be a better person. God gave us that desire.

We are all at times unconscious prophets.

Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

Eventually, all companies are replaced.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

I think the definition of a book is changing.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.

Dear friends, we may well sing to our Beloved when it is near the time of our departure. It draws near, and as it approaches, we must not dread it, but rather thank God for it.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

Open-minded people tend to be interested in Buddhism because Buddha urged people to investigate things – he didn’t just command them to believe.

I think New York has evolved in my work just the way the city has.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society.

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

Wonder is the basis of worship.

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.

By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.

There’s only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.

Whatever is making you so angry, it’s time for you to give it to God and get over it.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

I’ve always believed in God. I also think that’s the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you’re in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

All religions have been made by men.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.

I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to go around judging everybody.
