Quote by Brian Zahnd

“The Cosmos is cold, capricious, and cruel. But God is love. Nature is bloody in tooth and claw. But God is love. The mountaineers’ axiom is true: The mountains don’t care. But God is love. Thus I pray to God, not the Universe.”

“The microcosm and the macrocosm are linked. You have to learn to retune into the universe. Ancient humanity knew how. We have forgotten what they learned. In fact, we have unlearned it. Let the universe in. Let it take the strain off your shoulders. Give the universe responsibility for your success in life. Don’t worry. It has the broadest possible shoulders. It can endure every stress and strain.”

“The universe lives and learns from those that are in it. Dreams, nightmares and emotions become reality because the universe does listen. Good and bad proliferate this life and do come alive with dire consequences. Man should learn that the ramifications that we are seeing are happening because the universe listened to us. So, if you want mankind to live, what would you teach the universe?”

“I have always believed reincarnation to be true. This will go on and on until one discovers oneself. But at times, my thinking deviates a bit from eastern philosophy. I don’t think our bad karmas would make us cockroaches, rats, pigs, etc., in our next lives. I am of the view that achieving Moksha isn’t possible unless we experience everything that could be experienced. I have to experience oppression, but I also have to oppress. I have to be a sparrow to experience the joy of flight. I have to be a bee to experience colours beyond the visible spectrum. And I have to be a dog to hear ultrasonic sounds. Do you get it? I have to experience everything to achieve moksha. Becoming a bee in the next life is not the result of my bad Karma. It is instead a stepping stone. The path to ascension has to be a spiral. Not round and round. Every decision of mine has to lead there. Every step has to lead me towards self-actualization.”

“Some say Karma is a bitch. It all comes back to you, eventually. If this world can be boiled down to two truths. It would be the second law of thermodynamics (entropy) and the law of action and reaction (Karma). Well, if Karma really makes up the fabric of this Universe, if it is really a bitch, then prove it in this life itself! Why wait for reincarnation? Do you think I would be me once I die and transition to another body? No! What makes me, me, are my memories.”
