The Steps of Quaker Prayer

  • Mind the light
  • Welcome the light

“The first language of God is silence.”

I have been meditating for more than 20 years and I can relate to this experience. When prayer moves beyond words, it becomes contemplative. An hour into this in 2018, I heard a voice, “Do no harm!” Tears ran down my cheeks and I was vegan from that evening - Sunday, 02 December 2018.

Opening yourself to The Spirit - the divine within yourself - you realise that you have known the answers all along. You just need to be open to them.

May all beings know peace!

The Peaceable Kingdom

We are not of this world, but are redeemed out of it. Its ways, its customs, its worships, its weapons, we cannot follow. For we are come into the peaceable kingdom of Christ, where swords are beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks, and none shall hurt nor destroy. — George Fox, Epistle 203 (1659)
