The Wisdom of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
The
age of nations has passed. Now, unless we wish to perish, we must shake
off our old prejudices and build the Earth. The more scientifically I
regard the world, the less can I see any possible biological future for
it except in the active consciousness of its unity.
We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.
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 future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Remain
true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and
greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all
those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For
everything that rises must converge.
In
the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good
people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer
asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we
intend to do now that it happened.
What paralyzes life is lack of faith and lack of audacity. The difficulty lies not in solving problems but identifying them.
Today,
something is happening to the whole structure of human consciousness. A
fresh kind of life is starting. Driven by the forces of love, the
fragments of the world are seeking each other, so that the world may
come into being.
The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.
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.
The conclusion is always the same: love is the most powerful and still the most unknown energy of the world.
