"Deep
within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a
holy place, a Divine Center"
Thomas Kelly
(quoted
in Streams of Living Water by Richard Foster)
"Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the
door to God's house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know about Jesus
or not. Today I see it as my call to help every person claim his
or her own way to God."
Henri Nouwen
If
only they [people] could all see themselves as they really are ...
I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship
each other ... At the center of our being is a point of nothingness
which is untouched by sin and by illusions, a point of pure truth
... This little point ...is the pure glory of God in us. It is in
everybody.
Thomas Merton
"We
need to become aware of the Cosmic Christ, which means recognizing
that every being has within it the light of Christ." Matthew

*' Here [the contemplative state] everything is God. God is everywhere
and in all things.'
