From this perspective, we come to the realization that every piece is integral in the unfolding of creation, including us."

15		"Our entire life is a perpetual experience of resurrection, if only we were able to perceive it in this way."

In this advanced state, pain and suffering as we know it will vanish, war will end, our relationships with one another will dramatically be altered, the lion will lie with the lamb, so to speak, and life will be completely different from anything we might imagine."

24		"The dimension of this moment is supported in its entirety by the nature of the Divine. Thus there is a vital relationship between God and every aspect of creation. Each breath I draw is initiated, sustained, and nourished by the power of creation. Each event is permeated by the magic of the Divine Presence."

25		"We are connected via our souls to the source of creation, and we can transform the flow of creation."
