• Force, force, everywhere force; we ourselves a mysterious force in the centre of that. Thomas Carlyle
• God is the vital force or spirit which is all-pervading, all-embracing and, therefore, beyond human ken. Mahatma Gandhi
• We should feel that we are constantly in communion with those numinous cosmic forces out of which we are born. Thomas Berry
• Is the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? Joseph Campbell
• The truth is that God is the force. He is the essence of life. He is pure and undefiled consciousness. He is eternal. Mahatma Gandhi
• God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time. Ralph Fiennes
• This force is unlimited. It is always moving and always flowing. The ancient Hawaiians, the Kahunas, used the metaphor of the flow of a running stream to represent the divine force. Wayne Dyer
• God never answers prayers. It is people who answer their own prayers by knowing how to connect and utilize the divine energy of the Creator and the God-like force in their own souls. Yehuda Berg
• When you meditate or pray… both are forms of meditation… you give up control and find the answer and you open yourself to receive God’s gift, the universal force, or whatever that is. Erin Gray
• If God were like a Star Wars Force linking all consciousness, I supposed I could maybe believe that. But let’s just say I’m not going to be running off to India to join an ashram anytime soon. Ayelet Waldman

• It’s really important to understand that God is not an impersonal force. Even though He is invisible, God is personal and He has all the characteristics of a person. He knows, he hears, he feels and he speaks. Tanya Luhrmann
• There are two great forces, God’s force of good and the devil’s force of evil, and I believe Satan is alive and he is working, and he is working harder than ever, and we have many mysteries that we don’t understand. Billy Graham
• My biggest problem with organized religion is that God has been imagined as a human being with emotions. I feel if you let go of that, then it’s possible to see God as a force, to connect to him or her spiritually. Christopher Durang
• Just as the power of the sun is the only force in the natural universe that causes a plant to grow against gravity, so the grace of God is the only force in the spiritual universe that causes a person to grow against the gravity of their own ego. Simone Weil
• Without doubt, God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it. God directs angels, men, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature: and man having been created free, he is led freely. Joseph de Maistre
• Fools! You think of “god” as a sentient being. God is the word used to represent a force. This force created nothing, it just helps things along. It does not answer prayers, although it may make you think of a way to solve a problem. It has the power to influence you, but not decide for you. Diogenes
• Which was first, Matter or Force? If we think on this question, we shall find that we are unable to conceive of matter without force, or force without matter. When God created the elements of which the earth is composed, He created certain wondrous forces, which are set free and become evident when matter acts on matter. William Crookes
• In this framework, our God is a being with human-like characteristics. It feels heretical to imagine God as an unseen force or power like electricity. The first Star Wars movies came out when I was a kid. The idea that “the Force might be with us,” elicited more than a few hostile sermons. No! It cannot be! God is not a force. God is a person! Doug Hammack
• God is the creator of all things, right? He is the force that dictates the laws of the universe, and is therefore the ultimate source of ethics. He is absolute morality… We claim to be doing good. But the Lord Ruler – as God – defines what is good. So by opposing him we’re actually evil. But since he’s doing the wrong thing, does evil actually count as good in this case? Brandon Sanderson
• God, once imagined to be an omnipresent force throughout the whole world of nature and man. has been increasingly tending to seem omniabsent. Everywhere, intelligent and educated people rely more and more on purely secular and scientific techniques for the solution of their problems. As science advances, belief in divine miracles and the efficacy of prayer becomes fainter and fainter. Corliss Lamont
• The being we call god is merely a pawn working for a powerful and rational force in some far-off galaxy. This force is trying to weed out people who are irrational by seeing who would be stupid enough to believe in his god illusion so easily. Those that believe in this illusion, he will send to eternal damnation and he will deliver the rational beings, those who stoically refused to believe in a god, to heaven. Nick Yee

• God is to me that creative force, behind and in the universe, who manifests Himself as energy, as life, as order, as beauty, as thought, as conscience, as love. Henry Sloane Coffin

.

…a love force…

• Love is qualified as an attribute of that force, power or influence known as God. Thus as man makes application of love in his daily experience, he finds God a personal God. Edgar Cayce
• There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love. Wayne Dyer

• I believe that God is like a powerhouse, like where you keep electricity, like a power station. And that he’s a supreme power, and that he’s neither good not bad, left, right, black or white.

With the ego there is only misery; without the ego there is only God; and God is bliss, and God is benediction, and God is ecstasy. Die to the ego so that God can live in you. Rajneesh

…power we can tap into…

• Since God’s power is with us, we are the agents of God’s will, not the objects of it. This does not mean we are in charge, able to control or determine the course of events. Nor do any of us operate autonomously. Rather, divine power is in all and all is in relation. In order to be trueagents of God’s will, we too must practice relationality and shared power in relation. We are to engage in mutually enhancing and interdependent relationships.  Flora A. Keshgegian

• Believe God’s love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea. Samuel Rutherford
• Love is power, the purest power and the greatest power: Love is God. Nothing can be higher than that. But this power is not a desire to enslave others, this power is not a destructive force. This power is the very source of creation. This power is creativity. And this power will transform you totally into a new being. It has no concern with anybody. Its whole concern is to bring your seeds to their ultimate flowering. Rajneesh

To tarry in the presence of the King leads to new loyalty and devotion on the part of the faithful subjects. Christian character grows in the secret-place of prayer. Samuel Marinus Zwemer

• In meditation…the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness. Paramahansa Yogananda

• God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers. Richard Holloway

• Never pray to God for release of your problems. Never pray to God to change your life, and to give you something better. This is wrong prayer.

• It is not my strength that grows, so much as God’s strength in me, which is given more abundantly as the days roll. It is so given on one condition. If my faith has laid hold of the infinite, the exhaustless, the immortal energy of God, unless there is something fearfully wrong about me, I shall be getting purer, nobler, wiser, more observant of His will; gentler, like Christ; every way fitter for His service, and for larger service, as the days increase. Alexander MacLaren
