“The authorities teach that next to the first emanation, which is the Son coming out of the Father, the angels are most like God. And it may well be true, for the soul at its highest is formed like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God. For this reason the angel was sent to the soul, so that the soul might be re-formed by it, to be the divine idea by which it was first conceived.” GivingFirstsWellsMayIdeasSoulReasonMightNextFatherTeachDivineSonAuthorityHighestAngelBeing TrueComing Out Author:Meister Eckhart
“Each person is entitled to some version of God that seems real, yet many versions contradict one another. The God of any religion is only a fragment of God. This has to be true, because a being who is unbounded has no image, no role to play, no location either inside or outside the cosmos, whereas religions offer many images--father, mother, lawgiver, judge, ruler of the universe.” PersonsRealPlaySeemsMotherUniverseFatherRolesJudgingOffersVersionsBeing TrueCosmosRulersEntitledLocationFragmentsFather Mother Author:Deepak Chopra
“The most important thing, my father told me, which I have never forgotten, and which I have often put unto practice was: If you get into a quarrel with anybody, hit him first. "If you hit first, the battle is half-won," my father always said "Don't let him hit first. You hit him first." "What's more," he never forgot to say, too "Usually one blow is all you need." I found this to be true.” IfsNeedsFirstsSaidImportantFoundFatherHalfPracticeBattleImportant ThingsForgottenBlowBeing TrueQuarrels Author:Christopher Vokes
“It may be true of all relationships, not only between fathers and sons, but between men and women. Nothing seems fixed. Everything is always changing.
