Love the Whole World with an All-Embracing Love

Copyright 2014 by R..A.Robbins

“Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.” ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Celebrate the Heart

 

“In the last 10 years, we have seen a rise in selfishness: selfies, self-absorbed people, superficiality, self-degradation, apathy, and self-destruction. So I challenge all of you to take initiative to change this programming. Instead of celebrating the ego, let’s flip the script and celebrate the heart. Let’s put the ego and celebrity culture to sleep, and awaken the conscience. This is the battle we must all fight together to win back our humanity. To save our future and our children.”  ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

 

The First Peace

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

“The first peace, which is the most important, 
is that which comes within the souls of people 
when they realize their relationship, their oneness,
with the universe and all its powers, 
and when they realize that at the center of the universe 
dwells the Great Spirit, 
and that this center is really everywhere, 
it is within each of us.”
~ Black Elk – Oglala Sioux ~

We are All Equally Capable of Spiritual Awakening

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

“We are all equally capable of spiritual awakening. It may not seem that way, at times. Some of us are so caught up in the drama of our day-to-day existence that we have lost track of who we really are. But eventually, all of us will make the discovery of our true nature.” 
― Victor Shamas, The Way of Play: Reclaiming Divine Fun & Celebration

Awakening Means You’ve Come Home to Yourself

Copyright 2008 by R.A. Robbins

Awakening means you’ve come home to yourself, that consciousness shifted back to its original nature.”― Maria Erving

Change Happens One Human Being at a Time.

Our world will never be changed until individuals have changed, and individuals will never change until religion as inner transformation has penetrated to the hearts of their beings and made them into new persons. Change happens one human being at a time. It is your transformation, my transformation, that will make a difference in this wondrous but troubled world of ours, as we become who we truly are.” 
― Theodore J. Nottingham, Yeshua the Cosmic Mystic: Beyond Religion to Universal Truth
