Weekly Pause & Ponder

Weekly Pause & Ponder

You are a miracle of evolution, a biological organism delicate and fragile and yet tenacious because you have survived throughout eons of cosmic cycles. You are what you are because the universe is what it is. The universe is what it is because you are what you are. The body you inhabit may seem to be your personal possession, but in truth it belongs to the universe.

Deepak Chopra.  Power, Freedom and Grace.

Weekly Pause & Ponder

Persons are not isolated but exist only in relation. Hence, it is not Jesus’ isolated body that is significant, but his body interacting with other bodies. The corporate body generated by Jesus interacting with his contemporaries and with us is the incarnation of Christ-gestalt.

Peter C. Hodgson’s quote in  Christianity’s Dangerous Memory by Diarmuid O’Murchu.

Weekly Pause & Ponder

Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are…. and there can be no love where love does not find equality. Nor is there any pleasure without equality.  Practice equality in human society. Learn to love, esteem, and consider all people like yourself. What happens to another, be it bad or good, pain or joy, ought to be as if it happened to you.
