I hope you find great value in these Quotes about Communion from my large collection of inspirational quotes and motivational sayings.
Through Qigong, one learns to quiet the mind
and allow communion with the One.

with a term like "Holy Spirit," or "God,"
as long as you don't start visualizing
an old man on a throne floating in the sky.
The One is everything, and everything is the One.
Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.
Just remember that it's an infinity thing -
the tiniest bit of infinity is still infinite.

is stingless indeed,
and as beautiful as life.

Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
