Potential divine

"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divine within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work or worship or psychic control, or philosophy - by one or more, or all of these and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines or dogmas, or rituals or books, or temples or forms, are but secondary details." - Vivekananda

"We see that the apparent contradictions and perplexities in every RELIGION mark but different stages of growth. The end of all religions is the realizing of God in the soul . That is the one universal religion."
- Vivekananda

“Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.”
- Bridget Willard

All Souls are alike and potentially divine. None is Superior or Inferior. Every soul is in itself absolutely omniscient and blissful. The bliss does not come from outside.
