God has no other hands than ours.

Every acceptance of suffering is an acceptance of that which exists. The denial of every form of suffering can result in a flight from reality in which contact with reality becomes ever thinner, ever more fragmentary. It is impossible to remove oneself totally from suffering, unless one removes oneself from life itself, no longer enters into relationships, makes oneself invulnerable.

With the disappearance of God the Ego moves forward to become the sole divinity.

God has no other hands than ours. If the sick are to be healed, it is our hands that will heal them. If the lonely and the frightened are to be comforted, it is our embrace, not God's, that will comfort them.

A language that takes our emotions seriously and gives them real weight in our lives encourages us to think and be and act differently.

To be content with the world as it is is to be dead.

To take sides with life and experience how we can transcend ourselves is a process that has many names and faces. Religion is one of those names.
