The Sacred Veil Quotes

“I’m a coward, I close my eyes. I don’t understand why God made sight the only sense that can be blocked off.”
― Christopher Pike, The Sacred Veil

“When I look at my life, there has been far more pain than joy.”
― Christopher Pike, The Sacred Veil

“Life is like that short visit on the road. Prayer is for those who wish to talk to God. Meditation is for those who only want to listen to him.”
― Christopher Pike, Thirst No. 5: The Sacred Veil

“Good point. In the past, when these great beings visited our world, we automatically saw them as incarnations of God. To the early Christians, it wasn’t enough that Christ was a great master. He had to be the son of God. The same with Krishna, to the Hindus he had to be Lord Vishnu. Yet, ironically, since Christ and Krishna were so attuned to this Essence, they were one with God. Except from their perspective they saw everyone as evolving toward their state. Neither of them saw himself as unique.”

“Many will continue to believe in God. But belief is of no value if one loses the joy of the soul. In the years to come saints and seers will be replaced by priests and preachers. They will talk about nothing but God. But their God will always be outside them, far off in a distant heaven, and they will curse those who refuse to worship their form of God.” Krishna drops the dirt on the ground. “Fools. They would be better off believing in the earth.”

“The Master laughed. “No, Thomas, what your sister says is wise. All people, whether they are rich or poor, white or dark, male or female, Jewish or Roman, are all the same. No one should be seen as higher or lower.” “Are you saying that is what God thinks?” I asked. The Master considered. “I can’t say what God thinks. I doubt any man or woman can.” “But people say you are close to God,” I said, feeling disappointed. “They say he is inside you.” “Veronica, if God made all of us, then he must be inside all of us. I am no different from you.”

“Yet as I gaze at the twinkle in Patton’s seemingly ferocious gaze, and recall the warmth I felt when Grant hugged me good-bye, I know they are the same soul. Because we’re talking about souls, not personalities—that’s the answer to the contradiction. One changes, the other is eternal. Patton has come to me for a favor but he cannot know how much he has done for me. He has confirmed the truth of reincarnation, one of the core teachings of Krishna. He has restored my faith. My faith in what? It doesn’t matter. It feels good to have it back.”

“All who are born die, oh Arjuna. All who die are reborn. The wise do not grieve over the inevitable.’ ”
