Memoirs of W. Norman Cooper 1915—2003

W. Norman Cooper—A Man of Contrast

Self-reliant yet totally depended upon God
Served in the Air Force yet became a Quaker Pacifist
Spiritual Healer yet used Medicine
Needed time alone yet loved to be with people
Always calm yet loved excitement

Norman was a self-reliant person—no challenge was ever too much for him; no situation ever worried him. Yet he would be the first to say he didn’t do all this himself. He had faith that God knew how to handle the situation and would be leading him.

When he was drafted in World War II he knew that he could not kill anyone but depended upon the God-power to show him how he could be of service to his country. He did what he believed right at that time, but later he was to oppose all war and become a Quaker.

He was a spiritual healer and personally knew the power of the Divine in healing yet the firmly believed that God worked through the medical profession too.

He took time every day to be quiet and alone with the divine Source of all being, yet he loved people and being with them. He would say, “I serve God by serving my fellow human beings.”

Norman loved to be in a situation where there was excitement yet he always remained calm. He felt that for calmness to be valid, it had to be carried over into the situations of everyday life.
