Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement…get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

It quickly becomes clear that in this mode of cognition, through this perception of Nature [heart-centered living], all of Nature is one unified whole, all things are unremovable parts of one thing.

Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything. It lives here, profoundly, at One Square Inch in the Hoh Rain Forest. It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.

One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day.

Subtle activism provides an expanded view of social engagement in which the inherent power of spirituality is recognized in and of itself as a legitimate component of an integral approach to social change…Direct action will always be needed and can itself be seen as a sacred calling. However, for many people with a certain temperament, or who possess certain spiritual or psychic gifts, subtle activism could represent the most effective means at their disposal to make a meaningful contribution toward social change.

The ancient human-Earth relationship must be recovered in a new context, in its mystical as well as in its physical functioning. There is need for awareness that the mountains and rivers and all living things, the sky and its sun and moon and clouds all constitute a healing, sustaining sacred presence for humans which they need as much for their psychic integrity as for their physical nourishment…

May the energy emanating
from every step I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
 
May the energy emanating
from every breath I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
 
May the energy emanating
from every action I take
re-sanctify the Earth.
 
May the energy emanating
from every thought, action,
word and deed of all humanity
re-sanctify the Earth.
 
And so, by this exchange
of blessings may grow,
in symbiosis,
the consciousness of Oneness.

The feminine has a central part to play in the work of global healing and transformation. Her natural consciousness holds a deep understanding of the interconnections of life, how all the different parts relate together: how this awakening oneness can unfold. And every woman has in her spiritual centers the sacred substance of creation that is necessary for life’s regeneration. Without the full participation of the feminine nothing new can be born.
 
Because humanity has a central function in the whole of creation, what we deny to ourself we deny to all of life. In denying the feminine her sacred power and purpose we have impoverished life in ways we do not understand.

Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breathe out and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breathe in and bring the cosmos back inside…

…spirituality can give us an actual experience of the unity of all things. This experience, when nurtured as a constant practice, roots equality-consciousness, non-discrimination, non-violence and reverence for all people and the earth deep into our core.

Our challenge is to create a new language, even a new sense of what it is to be human. It is to transcend not only national limitations, but even our species isolation, to enter into the larger community of living species. This brings about a completely new sense of reality and value.

Our heart’s intuitive feelings and discernment regarding life’s issues are natural gifts that we can refer to, no matter what religion, personal growth, or spiritual path we may believe in or practice. We don’t have to be on a particular path to experience the limitless benefits of our heart’s intelligent directions.

When we form heart-centered beliefs within our bodies, in the language of physics we’re creating the electrical and magnetic expression of them as waves of energy, which aren’t confined to our hearts or limited by the physical barrier of our skin and bones. So clearly we’re speaking to the world around us in each moment of every day through a language that has no words: the belief-waves of our hearts.
