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! -- Pauline
Tangiora

"It
is the inner life that is to spark the change in consciousness that will permit
us to advance -- 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
