RE1: "This deeper understanding reveals how to keep one’s bearings and results in a serene demeanor and attitude, thus affecting the environment through which one walks. To return to the tuning fork analogy, the vibrational rate of a tuning fork initiates the same vibrational rate of sound in another tuning fork, alignment with the Wisdom of the Silence allows us to flow within Its lighthearted resonance. This catalyzes the same lighthearted feeling in another, with the subtlety of being “no big deal.” When something desirable is no big deal, there isn’t much to resist—in fact, it’s quite the opposite."

(From the "Inward Outlook" Laura Basha)

(2) "No amount of technological progress will cure the hatred that eats away the vitals of materialistic society like a spiritual cancer. The only cure is, and must always be, spiritual.  There is not much use talking to men about God and Love if they are not able to listen.  The ears with which one hears the message of the Gospel are hidden in man's heart, and these ears do not hear anything unless they are favored with a certain interior solitude and silence."

(From "Thoughts in Solitude" by Thomas Merton)

(3) "God hears the silent meditations of our heart, no question about that, but God gives us a way to clap our hands to the Divine Rhythm so that the tangible scene responds quickly—and would one even be thinking about “healing” unless something were amiss in the tangible scene to turn our thoughts to God and the Truth?"

"...The balance is found right here as Awareness, Identity...When one has found the balance, he has found himself...and finds he is the balance between Spirit and matter, first and last, inside and outside, above and below, objective and subjective, the macrocosm and microcosm...Where is the balance between inside and outside if it isn't this very Awareness I am?..."

(From "The Child Within Us Lives" by Bill Samuel)
