“I am not going to heaven because I have preached to great crowds or because I’ve read the Bible many times. I’m going to heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment, ‘Lord, remember me.’”

“Together with a culture of work, there must also be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must also take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, to read, to listen to music, to play a sport.”
“Quantum mechanics demands serious attention. But an inner voice tells me that this is not the true Jacob. The theory accomplishes a lot, but it does not bring us closer to the secrets of the Old One. In any case, I am convinced that He does not play dice.”
“If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. When you get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we experience every morsel of our food in that way, we become grateful; and when you are grateful, you are happy.”
“Stay present for yourself. Don’t give up. Getting through this place, this point, will turn your life around. Your spiritual growth has been profound. You’re about to walk through a door where you’ll see, touch, and know even more of life’s wonders. It’s your reward. Don’t stop now.”
“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the afternoon.”
– Genesis 3:8
How amazing to be so familiar with God, that you would recognize the sound of Him walking in the garden. It is such a beautiful idea to imagine, and a worthy aspiration to pursue. I believe that every effort we make toward cultivating our inner connection with the universe – whether it is through nature, prayer, love, careful study, or quiet meditation – brings us closer to reattaining this level of intimacy with the spirit of God.
