THE UNITY OF REALITY
Michael vonBruck
God, God-Experience, and meditation in the Hindu-Christian dialogue
|
|
1 |
"Brahman is one and is everything, above everything, outside everything, beyond everything and yet in everything….Brahman is the real self of all beings."
|
|
2 |
"God is relationship within the moments of one movement which constitutes his being."
|
|
3 |
"Human freedom consists in knowing the unity of atman (the Self) and the cosmic order."
|
|
4 |
"Through the unifying power of love of the Spirit, creation reaches completion; i.e., it attains its essence."
|
|
5 |
"Everything is grounded in consciousness of the whole. The whole is always there and awaits our receptivity."
|
|
6 |
"Each partner is a light for the other and enables him/her to see better the depths of his/her own tradition. The religion of the partner is like a sounding board in which one's own terms and symbols acquire new over- or undertones."
|
|
7 |
"Perfection is uninterrupted resonance in God."
|
|
8 |
"Everything that exists, exists in God whose life it shares."
|
|
9 |
"Our lives reflect divine creativity. Through our relationship to all other forms or manifestations of divine life we are continually expanding, concretizing, and realizing God's creativity."
|
|
10 |
"Science recognizes today the interrelationality of the universe. Relativity theory, quantum physics, post-Darwinian models of evolution, psychosomatic medicine, parapsychological research, biofeedback and, most of all, experience with Yoga and meditation support this basic vision."
|
|
11 |
"Ethics is rooted in the dynamism of love."
|
|
12 |
"God is continuously realizing himself in the whole of creation."
|
|
13 |
"Love is the very structure of the one reality."
|
|
14 |
"Our 'own' consciousness is like a light which is switched on in the meeting with another. What is new in today's interreligious situation could be described as a worldwide and conscious application of this principle to interreligious dialogue, with the goal of cooperation in all areas of life."
|
|
15 |
"Each person's destiny is truly integrated into a final beyond-individual and transpersonal connectedness of the one reality."
|
|
16 |
"Humans are a true mirror-image of God. They project the manifold, but remain one and also know it, or at least can come to know it, because their true nature as pure consciousness is the integrating power of the One."
|
|
17 |
"God as creator cannot be experienced in any other way than as an ever present milieu."
|
|
18 |
"Reality is a self-differentiated whole. The ground of the wholeness is God, who manifests himself at various levels, each of which forms a relative wholeness and reacts with the others."
|
|
19 |
"The world…is God's creation and, as such, is a determined moment in God's self-realization."
|
|
20 |
"Being crucified with Christ in order to share in the resurrection produces a new advaitic (non-dual) identity beyond our denial of self. I am no longer cut off from others as an individual self, but am now joined to the process of God's self-realization: this is the ground and goal of my life (John 12:25; Romans 6:3ff.; Gal. 2:19f.; Col. 2:12f.)"
|
|
21 |
"Reality in itself is not a dead tranquility, nor a mechanical process, but expansiveness and the attraction of love."
|
|
22 |
"The freedom of the one reality is the self-determination to realize love."
|
|
23 |
"God is the ground and mystery of creation who binds himself to forms yet is not held bound by them."
|
|
24 |
"Christ is always already present, for he is the light that enlightens every person coming into the world (John 1:9)."
|
|
25 |
"The divinity is One reality which, because of our manner of seeing it, appears in different hypostases which are perfect in themselves."
