Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Everything that rises must converge.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come into being. Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire.

Science, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole. 

We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.

We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.

The day will come when we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, the human being will have discovered fire.

There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.

Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God.
