What Now?

“A new challenge awaits us 
at the beginning of the twenty-first century:
to go beyond fragmentation, 
to be open to total living and total revolution …
In this era, to become a spiritual inquirer without social consciousness is a luxury that we can ill afford, 
and to be a social activist without a scientific understanding
of the inner workings of the mind is the worst folly. 
Neither approach in isolation has had any significant success …. 

The challenge awaiting us is to go much deeper as human beings, 

to abandon superficial prejudices & preferences, 

to expand understanding to a global scale, integrating the totality of living, 
and to become aware of the wholeness 
of which we are a manifestation.”

Vimala Thakar

“The universe is a single living creature that encompasses all living creatures within it.”  

 

Plato

 

 
"... we are all  

different shards of God, 

all experiencing life so that God could experience everything, 

in every single different way, 

because God wants to experience life as you, and life as me, and life as him, and life as her, so that 

God is having all of his experiences through us.”

"The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.”

“To the mystic, every moment is Sacred

 and

 every step is taken on Holy Ground.”

SO 

May I remain curious & keep asking myself:

 HOW is EVERY – person / activity / moment – in front of me Sacred?  

HOW can I perceive the Sacred even in people & events that appear so Dark?

 

 

“When I change the level of my awareness,
I start attracting a different reality.”
