metaphysics

Five acts - humility, gratitude, vegetarianism, yearning, and crying - get you "It". Have you tried it?

Patriarchy, reformed or unreformed, is patriarchy still: its worst abuses purged or foresworn, it might actually be more stable and secure than before.

Love has no contingencies, no expectations, no ideals. Love is a gift to thyself, the experience of divinity in full expression.

Everything good is good because of the love it contains.

Dreams dress us carefully in the colors of power and faith.

God structures his authority based on how he operates internally__hat is, how each member of the trinity sees and interacts with each other. God never asks us to function in our obedience outside his personal examples.

Metagapism is the belief that love is the ultimate reality, literally god and the one shared soul, and the source, nature and destiny of all.

Love isn__ self-centered, even at the supreme scale.

That which isn__ love, isn__ god.

How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask-half our great theological and metaphysical problems-are like that.

If you believe that you are NOT omnipresent, omniscient and ultimately omnipotent _ you are delusional. If you believe that you are separate from that which you call God, then you are living a lie.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

Oh Love, whenever I hear your name, I hear the heartbeat of every lifetime all at once. I feel the heartbeat of the universe the way I get extreme earthquake shocks but completely safe

The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.

My religion is to live - and die - without regret.

There's a limit to my patience with anything that smacks of metaphysics. I squirm at the mention of "mind expansion" or "warm healing energy." I don't like drum circles, public nudity or strangers touching my feet.

God is not only something metaphysical, but also the physical world, the plants and animals, the mountains and rivers, the air and the sun and the earth.

There is never a right time. Except the time we make right.
