From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

What we live by we die by.

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.

We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.

The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

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

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

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death… these are things that unite us all.

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

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

He is lost who is possessed by carnal desire.

Religion is just mind control.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

When I’m in the house of God, I don’t wear my jewelry, if you’re looking for my jewelry. All you see is my heart of gold.

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

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

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.

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

I fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

Man has throughout the ages been seeking something beyond himself, beyond material welfare – something we call truth or God or reality, a timeless state – something that cannot be disturbed by circumstances, by thought or by human corruption.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an death’s the other.

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can’t really understand why it doesn’t obsess everyone – I think it does really, I’m just a little more out about it.

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

I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.

Every loss of life is terrible.

Our God is a forgiving God.

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

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.

The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch, which hurts and is desired.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

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.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

I am a Catholic, not so committed to the church, but to the idea of the Virgin, the female face of God.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

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

Death is not the worst that can happen to men.

God wants to bless us where we are.

If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

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.
