The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
-Scriptures "Zohar, Leviticus 9b"
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by its dualities.
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard
"Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters"
The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.
-Voltaire
When did I realise I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realised I was talking to myself.
My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
-Abraham Lincoln
On the Disc, the Gods aren't so much worshipped, as they are blamed.
-Terry Pratchett
"The Color of Magic"
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
-Swami Vivekananda
