Text Quotes
The environmental crisis is fundamentally a spiritual crisis (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The future rests in the religious, political, economic and cultural capacity of humans to establish this larger context in which the particular traditions will find both support and fulfillment in a functional global community. (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The Great Work - the work of ensuring a just, healthy, beautiful, and sustainably life-giving world for future generations of all species. (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Gardening is an active participation in The deepest mysteries of the universe (Thomas Berry Quotes)
It is false to say that humanity is the most excellent being in the universe. The most excellent being in the universe is the universe itself (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Our difficulty is that we have become autistic. We no longer listen to what the Earth, its landscape, its atmospheric phenomena and all its living forms, its mountains and valleys, the rain, the wind, and all the flora and fauna of the planet are telling us (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Even as regards Earth we are more committed to history than to geography, more committed to time than to space. History is endless. Place is limited (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The destiny of humans cannot be separated from the destiny of earth (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The greater the diversity, the greater the perfection (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Because of this erotic bond, the earth becomes luxuriant in its every aspect (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The universe is a communion of subjects, not a collection of objects (Thomas Berry Quotes)
In relation to the earth we have been autistic for centuries. Only now have we begun to listen with some attention and with a willingness to respond to the earth’s demands that we cease our industrial assault, that we abandon our inner rage against the conditions of our earthly existence, that we renew our human participation in the grand liturgy of the universe (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Diversity is the magic. It is the first manifestation, the first beginning of the differentiation of a thing and of simple identity. The greater the diversity, the greater the perfection (Thomas Berry Quotes)
There is an ultimate wildness in all this, for the universe, as existence itself, is a terrifying as well as a benign mode of being. If it grants us amazing powers over much of its functioning we must always remember that any arrogance on our part will ultimately be called to account. The beginning of wisdom in any human activity is a certain reverence before the primordial mystery of existence, for the world about us is a fearsome mode of being. We do not judge the universe (Thomas Berry Quotes)
If the religious experience were simply some naive impression of the uninformed it would not have resulted in such intellectual insight, such spiritual exaltation, such spectacular religious ritual, or in the immense volume of song and poetry and literature and dance that humans have produced (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Our main source of psychic energy in the future will depend on our ability to understand this symbol of evolution in an acceptable context of interpretation. Only in the context of an emergent universe will the human project come to an integral understanding of itself. We must, however, come to experience the universe in its psychic as well as in its physical aspect. We need to experience the sequence of evolutionary transformations as moments of grace, and also as celebration moments in our new experience of the sacred (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The divine communicates to us primarily through the language of the natural world. Not to hear the natural world is not to hear the divine (Thomas Berry Quotes)
We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world (Thomas Berry Quotes)
We need to move: from a spirituality of alienation from the natural world to a spirituality of intimacy with the natural world from a spirituality of the divine as revealed in words to a spirituality of the divine as revealed in the visible world about us (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The real skill is to raise the sails and to catch the power of the wind as it passes by (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Once you adopt and communicate a quality policy, stick with it, live it, and protect it. You get only one chance! (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. To damage this community is to diminish our own existence (Thomas Berry Quotes)
We lose our souls if we lose the experience of the forest, the butterflies, the song of the birds, if we can’t see the stars at night (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Everything is integral and interacts with everything else. This means that nothing is itself without everything else. There is a commonality, an integrity, an intimacy of the universe with itself (Thomas Berry Quotes)
We are not lacking in the dynamic forces needed to create the future. We live immersed in a sea of energy beyond all comprehension (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Our fulfillment is not in our isolated human grandeur, but in our intimacy with the larger earth community, for this is also the larger dimension of our being (Thomas Berry Quotes)
We will go into the future as a single sacred community, or we will all perish in the desert (Thomas Berry Quotes)
The excitement of life is in the numinous experience wherein we are given to each other in that larger celebration of existence in which all things attain their highest expression, for the universe, by definition, is a single gorgeous celebratory event (Thomas Berry Quotes)
Both education and religion need to ground themselves within the story of the universe as we now understand this story through empirical knowledge. Within this functional cosmology, we can overcome our alienation and begin the renewal of life on a sustainable basis. This story is a numinous revelatory story that could evoke the vision and the energy required to bring not only ourselves but the entire planet into a new order of magnificence (Thomas Berry Quotes)
