A compassionate city is an uncomfortable city! A city that is uncomfortable when anyone is homeless or hungry. Uncomfortable if every child isn’t loved and given rich opportunities to grow and thrive. Uncomfortable when any group anywhere in the world is marginalized or oppressed. Uncomfortable when as a community we don’t treat our neighbors as we would wish to be treated. ...Karen Armstrong

Often, we try to run away from feeling. And, as we avoid feeling—in a kind of “spiritual bypass”—we cannot plunge into oceanic Oneness. We get stuck between the surface and the deep and can’t touch the Divine Depths. What we really need to do is to …

Often, we try to run away from feeling. And, as we avoid feeling—in a kind of “spiritual bypass”—we cannot plunge into oceanic Oneness. We get stuck between the surface and the deep and can’t touch the Divine Depths. What we really need to do is to feel so deeply that we reach the Universal. To know the wholeness that is beneath our experience of brokenness. To see the pearl caressing the grain of sand. …Jane Bolton

You might be in casual conversation and people will tell you how bad life is. How it will be getting worse. And you will be standing and nodding in agreement, eventually wondering why your life is full of potholes and disappointments. …Nancy Zala

One of the most illuminating truths which mysticism has revealed is that there is no ultimate reality to evil. No devil, no damnation outside of one’s state of thought, no punishment outside of that self-inflicted through ignorance, and no salvation…

One of the most illuminating truths which mysticism has revealed is that there is no ultimate reality to evil. No devil, no damnation outside of one’s state of thought, no punishment outside of that self-inflicted through ignorance, and no salvation outside of conscious cooperation with the infinite. Consequently, they have taught that the answer to every problem is in man’s own consciousness. … Ernest Holmes

I find that, for me, the clearest, simplest and most effective prayer is simply "Show me the good!" …Evelyn Underhill
