~ All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation. ~
~ My favorite: Spirituality is a domain of awareness. ~
~ Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there. ~
~ I would describe my spirituality as exactly the opposite of having a religious affiliation. ~
~ Spiritual power begins by directing animal power to other than egoistic ends. ~
~ There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit. ~
~ Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light. ~
~ Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height. ~
~ To win true peace, a man needs to feel himself directed, pardoned, and sustained by a supreme power, to feel himself in the right road, at the point where God would have him be - in order with God and the universe. This faith gives strength and calm. ~
~ Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual. ~
~ God, despite his casual silence, still exists. Of that I haven’t a single doubt. ~
~ We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~
