What do you fancy that you are in the world for?

Ask for help always and rest assured that the Creator who is God is near.

Be still and know that God dwells in the hearts of all men, though in some He lies asleep, for the God in you will sleep until you awaken Him.

Be still and know that God is God. 

In the stillness of perception, the petals begin to open and joy steals over the heart. 

The heart swells with the expanding joy until every fibre of the cross is alive and tingling with the joy at the heart of the rose and the fragrance sweetens the world.

Be still and know that the world is the footstool of the spirit.

I am all for unity now.

I am trying to draw near God.

And what is God?

And where is God?

God is everywhere. God is.

What is He?

God is.

What do you mean?

God is. God is.

There is no being, nothing that is, except God.

Do you not also know that He is and that all that is, is He?

All that is, is God.

All that is, is God.

If God is all that is, who am I?

I am a part of God.

That must include me and all my fellow beings—human and animal—even the trees and the birds and the rivers must be a part of God if God were all that is.

From this moment, my life will assume a new meaning for me. 

I will not see a human face without remembering this absolute truth—

The human being I see is a part of God. 

When I stand beside a river and listen to the sound of its waters, I will say to myself, I am listening to the voice of God. 

When a fellow being is angry with me, I will ask myself, In what way have I offended God? 

When one speaks lovingly to me, I will say, God is loving me now. 

My life will become unbelievably beautiful.

O Lord that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.

 —Shakespeare

So long as you believe yourself to be only a worm of the dust, limited and bound by the physical, you will remain so. 

You are only limited and bound because you choose to remain so. 

When you get but a glimpse of what you really are now and especially of what you may yet become, that knowledge will give you the greatest possible inspiration.

—Julian Johnson

Rest in the consciousness of eternity and work in the consciousness of eternity.

There was once a God so great that the cells of His body were minor gods.

What an adventure it is, this launching of one’s barque on the sea of rebirth.

What do I mean by God? 

Look deep in your heart and see that I AM THAT I AM. 

In the childhood of the world, men believed in a power beyond themselves. 

Now in the maturity of the world, men believe in a power within and beyond themselves. 

That is God, I AM THAT I AM!

What do you fancy that you are in the world for?

When speaking of divine perfection, we signify that God is just and true and loving—the author of order, not disorder—of good, not evil. 

We signify that He is justice, that He is truth, that He is love, that He is order, that He is the very progress of which we were speaking and that wherever these qualities exist, whether in the human soul or in the order of nature, there God exists. 

We might still see Him everywhere if we had not been mistakenly seeking for Him apart from us, instead of in us—away from the laws of nature, instead of in them. 

And we become united, not by mystical absorption, but by partaking of that truth and justice and love which He himself is.

Therefore, the belief in immortality depends finally on the belief in God. 

If there exists a good and wise God, then there also exists a progress of mankind toward perfection and if there be no progress of men towards perfection, then there cannot be a good and wise God. 

We cannot suppose that God’s moral government—the beginnings of which we see in the world and in ourselves—will cease when we leave this life.

—Plato

Who or what is God?

Let us be satisfied to say that there is a Supreme Creator and that He is the source of all that exists.

—Julian Johnson

Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother and sister and mother.

—Master Jesus
