That which is the source of creation is functioning within you every moment of your life.
Sadhguru
The One encompasses and flows through All, spilling Itself into numberless forms, and personalities.
Ernest Holmes
In going within, we do not turn to our own spirituality or our own goodness or our own strength or our own knowledge; but we go within to unleash the Infinite Invisible.
Joel S Goldsmith
…in the field of spiritual consciousness, a chain reaction could be created which would bless the world.
Ernest Holmes
I and the Father are one.
John 10:30
Spiritual versus Material are not the choices. Everything about this physical manifestational experience is spiritual. It is all the end product of spirit. You have nothing to prove. Be the spiritual you and create like a physical fiend.
Abraham-Hicks from Virginia Beach, VA on April 12, 1997
Perhaps ultimately, spiritual simply means experiencing wholeness and interconnectedness directly, a seeing that individuality and the totality are interwoven, that nothing is separate or extraneous. If you see in this way, then everything becomes spiritual in its deepest sense. Doing science is spiritual. So is washing the dishes.
Jon Kabat-Zinn
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
Emily Dickinson
The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
Leo Buscaglia
Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.
Ernest Holmes
When we grow in spiritual consciousness, we identify with all that is in the world. And there is no exploitation. It is ourselves we are helping. It is ourselves we are healing.
Dr Govindappa Venkataswamy
Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic – this is the spiritual path.
Pema Chodron
The spiritual life is the real life; all else is illusion and deception. Only those who are attached to God alone are truly free. Only those who live up to the highest light live in harmony. All who act upon their highest motivations become a power for good. It is not important that others be noticeably affected: results should never be sought or desired. Know that every right thing you do – every good word you say – every positive thought you think – has good effect.
Peace Pilgrim
Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out in the vast field of light and let it breathe.
Hafiz
I am reminded to embrace all of life. From my spirit's view, all human experience is a privilege and a delight.
Annie Zalezsak, February 28, 2014
There is a loneliness more precious than life. There is a freedom more precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God.
Rumi
You are a deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.
Anthon St. Maarten
The circumstances of your life are neither good nor bad. They are appropriate to the needs of your soul. They may or may not be what your personality desires.
Gary Zukav
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.
Hermann Hesse
You have to grow inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is belief in someone else’s experience. Spirituality is having your own experience.
Deepak Chopra
Our real home is beyond space and time. In truth we are not here. This is our shadow.
Rumi
The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
Hippocrates
Being 'spiritual' simply means being willing to look into the nature of life, to ask questions and to wonder, and to listen. It also means seeing art everywhere.
Quang Ho
At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It’s a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campell
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, also attributed to Wayne Dyer
When I could no longer cling to my normal supports I discovered that true support and real safety lie far beyond the structures of our world.
from Here and Now, by Henri JM Nouwen
…the soul is timeless and nonlocal…
from Real Magic, by Wayne Dyer (about Wayne Dyer)
Human beings groan and stagger under the burdens of economic problems, domestic difficulties, terrifying tomorrows and much more. All man-made solutions have failed and will fail always. There must be a spiritual solution or none at all. Where human intellect has failed, spiritual intelligence can succeed. Human intelligence has created mechanical religion, which is a brick to carry instead of a lamp to guide. You, the reader, can acquire a guiding lamp by seeing the difference between mechanical religion and conscious spirituality.
The Daily Guru
If you love yourself, you feed your body healthy food each day, so the nutrition can protect you against dis-ease or hardship due to illness. In the same way, you must keep up your spiritual strength and vitality by cleansing the mind, body and spirit of all debris the negative forces may have deposited upon you.
Peace Mother Geeta Sacred Song
That is how I began to learn that the true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness; it is here in the present. It asks of us a welcoming spirit to greet all that life presents to us with a wise, respectful and kindly heart. We can bow to both beauty and suffering, to our entanglements and confusion, to our fears and to the injustices of the world. Honouring the truth in this way is the path to freedom. To bow to what is rather than to some ideal is not necessarily easy, but however difficult, it is one of the most useful and honourable practices.
Jack Kornfield
Man has never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.
Bernard Williams (1929-) English philosopher
You are an individual, and you came here on your own as a child, and you will die on your own. The fact that you may live in a community or with your family does not change the solitude of your spiritual journey. By cluttering your life with many things, you soon lose sight of who you are and what you came for.
from The Trick to Money Is Having Some! by Stuart Wilde
Insights happen only when we shift to a higher, more inclusive perspective. As we grow in wisdom and experience, we become less attached to the form of reality and more aware of its spiritual side – its qualities, values and meaning. As we get to know ourselves as souls, we begin to let go of the self-consciousness of the ego. This allows us to more effectively include others and work with the whole picture.
When there is more in sight, we get more insights.
The Daily Guru
… the more the mind dominates, the more the ego comes into play, and the further people depart from their true inner self. So all the technological advances in the world mean nothing if people feel a spiritual void inside of them.
from The Trick to Money Is Having Some!, by Stuart Wilde
True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.
Louis Nizer (1902-1994) American lawyer
The soul of a person is most intimate. You meet a person’s soul before you meet his body. When you meet soul and body as one, you enter the world of the Other.
from Anam Cara, Spiritual Wisdom from the Celtic World (p54), by John O’Donohue
