Recover Wonder and Taste the Divine

Oh, taste and see that the Eternal is good! (Psalm 34:8)

The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. (Elder Heber C. Kimball)

God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man. When you know yourself, your 'I'ness vanishes and you know that you and God are one.

It is God who is revealed in every face, sought in every sign, gazed upon by every eye, worshipped in every object of worship, and pursued in the unseen and the visible. Not a single one of God’s creatures can fail to find God in its primordial and original nature. (Muḥyī ad-Dīn Ibn ʿArabī)

Neither My Earth nor My Heavens could contain Me, whilst the heart of My believing servant does contain Me. (Ahadeeth al-Qudsee)

Perception is our only real knowledge or religion. Talking about it for ages will never make us know our soul. Every step I take in the light is mine forever. When you go to a country and see it, then it is yours. We have each to see for ourselves; teachers can only "bring the food", we must eat it to be nourished. Argument can never prove God save as a logical conclusion.

It is impossible to find God outside of ourselves. Our own souls contribute all the divinity that is outside of us. We are the greatest temple. The objectification is only a faint imitation of what we see within ourselves. (Swami Vivekananda)

کنت کنزاً مخفیاً فأحببت أن أعرف فخلقت الخلق لکی أعرف

Unum Necessarium

If you take what the Buddha and the Christ said,
and all the great yogis, saints, sages,
mystics, and lovers of God,
it can be reduced to two words:
Choose Love.

There is nothing higher than Love,
nothing purer,
nothing more selfless,
nothing more powerful,
and it is present in every moment.

Choose Love.
In all times, in all places -
Choose Love,
for Love has already chosen you.
