“The Bible makes clear a basic truth that we self-centered humans find difficult to accept, namely, that the natural universe was not created primarily for us. There is no doubt that God wants us to enjoy it and even use its resources to optimize a good life for ourselves. But the ultimate purpose of creation is worship. Nature and all living things were created to glorify God.” WantHumansSelfUsePurposeUniverseEnjoyDifficultNaturalAcceptingClearDoubtCreationWorshipResourcesUltimateEnvironmentalNo DoubtGood LifeWant ULiving ThingsSelf CenteredGlorify Book:Carpe Diem: Seize the Day Source: Carpe Diem: Seize the Day
“I worship impersonal Nature, which is neither "good" or "bad", and who knows neither love nor hatred. I worship Life; the Sun, Sustainer of life. I believe in the Law of everlasting struggle, which is the law of life, and in the duty of the best specimens of our race - the natural élite of mankind - to rule the earth, and evolve out of themselves a caste of supermen, a people 'like unto the Gods'.” PeopleKnowsBelieveEarthLawI BelieveNaturalRaceStruggleSunMankindDutyWorshipHatredI Believe InEvolveEverlastingCastesLaws Of Life Author:Savitri Devi
“This gathered worship, as Quakers call it, is not only absence of noise. Gathered worship springs from the reverent, silent expectation that God will come among the people. The silence deepens as we feel ourselves drawn beautifully to God and each other. Our hearts and souls burst with thanksgiving-a thanksgiving best expressed by silence. Silence growing from awe is the natural human response to hints of the Divine.” PeopleFeelsHumansHeartSoulNaturalSilenceGrowingDivineWorshipSpringExpectationsSilentResponseAbsenceGods WillNoiseAweHintsHeart And SoulQuaker Author:J.

“Man has discovered in nature the wonderful notion of that all-mighty being whose law he worships. Fundamentally in everyone there is the feeling for this all-mighty, which we call god (that is to say, the dominion of natural laws throughout the whole universe).” MenWholeFeelingsLawUniverseNaturalWonderfulWorshipNotionDominionNatural Law Book:Secret Conversations, 1941-1944 Source: Secret Conversations, 1941-1944
