"One day while talking to a mystic friend, my mind opened. He said, 'There is nothing but God', as mystics usually say. But this time I heard it; I heard it directly – not in thought, not with another idea. And it was intensely joyful."

"Behind our apparent individuality and separateness there is one transcendent unity that is consciousness."

"The universe is created for the purpose of evolving sentient beings. The many coincidences in the way the universe has been constructed – the fine tuning of the values of the physical constants, even the special geometry of the universe that keeps it expanding for a long enough time to provide the extended time scale that the evolution of life requires – suggest that maybe the universe has a meaningful destiny after all, a cosmic purpose: to evolve observers, for example, us humans."

"All is God's will, not individual will."
|
|

"The evolution of the cosmos is a creative play of consciousness for the purpose of revealing itself to itself in manifestation."
|
|
20 |
"The world is not outside of God, outside of consciousness; it is the play of consciousness."
|
|
