Spirituality Quotes

The whole idea of awakening is about regaining self-trust. Through self-trust we remember how to be our own best guides.

~ Raphael Zernoff

We truly help others working on ourselves. When it comes from the knowledge that the only power we have is over our own choices, we do not struggle taking responsibility for what is not ours to be responsible for. When we choose to be happy our joy works like a lighthouse. The lighthouse does never guide ships to its own light. It always leads them to the safe harbour. Yet it is their choice, whether they want to follow the light or something else.- Raphael Zernoff

~ Raphael Zernoff

The new enlightened self-understanding reminds us that there is no final destination to our journey. The process itself is the destination. There is nowhere we need to arrive to.

~ Raphael Zernoff

The now reality is our only home, where everything already is. There is no other home we came from, and we might think we shall return to.

~ Raphael Zernoff

There is more than enough for everyone. Any idea of lack and so its experience comes from fear. Fear powers greed, which encourages people to save for later just for themselves.

~ Raphael Zernoff

Life becomes much more easier when we do what we say and when we say what we do. Having courage to be ourselves is a gateway to freedom and happiness.

~ Raphael Zernoff

When we commit daily to offering our love, living in integrity, truth and values, we are more easily in tune to live our purpose …. We live our ethical life in all aspects; family, friends and business. Our spirit and body are always with us. In IHood, we choose to honor spiritual behavior over that of our body.

~ Jill Little

A Martial Artist may become A professional fighter but not every Fighter is capable of becoming A martial artist. Martial Arts are about restoration of physical and spiritual balance and fluidity; they are about observing restraints and 'setting example'. Every practice session is A reminder of the play of opposites (yin and yang), . . . .

~ Soke Behzad Ahmadi

Tarot is a practice rich with history and cultural knowledge. It is a science of the mind.

~ Benebell Wen

To talk of humans as 'transcendent' is not to ascribe to them spiritual properties. It is, rather, to recognize that as subjects we have the ability to transform our selves, our natures, our world—an ability denied to any other physical being. In the six million years since the human and chimpanzee lines first diverged on either side of Africa's Great Rift Valley, the behaviour and lifestyles of chimpanzees have barely changed. Human behaviour and lifestyles clearly have. Humans have learnt to learn from previous generations, to improve upon their work, and to establish a momentum to human life and culture that has taken us from cave art to quantum physics and the conquest of space. It is this capacity for constant innovation that distinguishes humans from all other animals. All animals have an evolutionary past. Only humans make history.

~ Kenan Malik

If there is a religious agency in our lives, it has to appear in the manner of our times. Not from on high, but a revelation that hides itself in our culture, it will be ground-level, on the street, it'll be coming down the avenue in the traffic, hard to tell apart from anything else.

~ E. L. Doctorow

Spiritualism exits only for individuals. Reason is born when two men interact, addition of more and more members necessitates the spreading of the reason culminating as culture. Hence a culture is as dynamic as the reason. The nature of the reason is the nature of the spirit within for some and instinct for some others.

~ Thiruman Archunan

May the sunshine ever greet youand sorrows flow away,May the knowledge flow within youand darkness fade away.

~ Munindra Misra

The stakes in this game are not low. Our enterprise is no less than the introduction of an alternative language, and with the language an altered perspective, for a group of phenomena that tradition tended to refer to with such words as 'spirituality', 'piety', 'morality', 'ethics' and 'asceticism'. If the manoeuvre succeeds, the conventional concept of religion, that ill-fated bugbear from the prop studios of modern Europe, will emerge from these investigations as the great loser. Certainly intellectual history has always resembled a refuge for malformed concepts - and after the following journey through the various stations, one will not only see through the concept of 'religion' in its failed design, a concept whose crookedness is second only to the hyper-bugbear that is 'culture'.

~ Peter Sloterdijk

For while spirituality has the dynamic to transcend and transform culture, it invariably expresses itself in and through culture.

~ Kirkley C. Sands

~ Charles Olson

Angry obsessive thoughts about another weaken your state of mind and well being. If you must have revenge, then take it by choosing to be happy and let them go forever.

~ Gary Hopkins

God is always trying to give blessings to us, but our minds are usually too full to receive them.

~ Shannon L. Alder

~ Amber Koneval

Feelings come and go, and when they come a good use can be made of them, but they cannot be our regular spiritual diet.

~ C.s. Lewis

​But you can thank God the Lord for His inconceivable goodness, which can be recognized daily and hourly throughout your entire existence, if only you honestly try! Your whole life shall therefore become a thanksgiving!

~ Abd-Ru-Shin

In silence alone does a man's truth bind itself together and strike root.

~ Antoine De Saint-Exupéry

~ Gian Kumar

The very fact that you can observe this thinking mind is proof that you are not this thinking mind.

~ Chris Matakas

Negative self-talk and negative affirmation can keep you anchored in old thought patterns and identities.

~ Bryant Mcgill

In the face of every type of pain, we tend to think that life will never be the same, but guess what, it was never going to be the same anyway.

~ Bryant Mcgill

It's fallacious reasoning for the atheist to hate all religion due to men who manipulate religion to fit their own agendas. They are counterparts, therefore, if Truth is true, partners in crime. To believers, the atheist and the religiously corrupt boil down to the same person, the self-righteous: one denies Truth to fit his own agenda; the other manipulates Truth to fit his own agenda.

~ Criss Jami

Earth was the winner of the ultimate lotto, with 500 million to one odds, this one planet, of comparable, size to its other 17 billion siblings, became the life force of the universe itself. But the inhabitants of earth did not just inherit life, they inherited all that life has to offer a sentient species. It offers them —as a gift— love, joy, surprise, wonder, friendship, as well as spirituality, art, literature, music, and most importantly morality. A morality that is capable of reaching beyond its species to that of other living creatures on this shared fishbowl called Earth.

~ Leviak B. Kelly

The essence of the spiritual process needs to be understood as a means to generate the necessary intensity to break the bubble, so that you are out of your individual nature. It is not about being good, it is not about being ethical, it is not about being moral. These things may all happen as a result, as a consequence. Once you have broken the bubble and known the freedom of experiencing everything as yourself, as a consequence you may function as a good person in society. But you have no particular intention of being good!

~ Sadhguru

What you feed your soul is what you harvest with your actions.

~ Shannon L. Alder

Only the descent into the hell of self-knowledge can pave the way to godliness.

~ Immanuel Kant

Spirituality is not primarily about values and ethics, not about exhortations to do right or live well. The spiritual traditions are primarily about reality...an effort to penetrate the illusions of the external world and to name its underlying truth.

~ Parker J. Palmer

Books of the sages of the ages reflect upon in stages, like honey their words on the tongue give due savour.”{Source: A Green Desert Father}

~ Richard Mc Sweeney

Spending moments with another in earnest presence is one of the simple ways we can show unconditional love. It is the memories created from these impressions that survive after all else passes.

~ Molly Friedenfeld

it takes something more than guts to make a stand for what you know is right. It takes an inner, unbreakable belief of self that cannot be broken, shaken or snapped by anything or anyone. This is what zoomanity despises …

~ Alan Forrest Smith

it's a ludicrous concept, zoomanity gives a man a job, gives a man his wages, the man can pay for the things he likes yet he spends almost every minute at work waiting for his day to end. His life is spent as a servant of zoomanity rather than a servant of humanity, eight hours a day dedicated to the thing he hates …

~ Alan Forrest Smith

Of course a life of devastation can be re-created into a life of manifestation and wonderment. Zoomanity tells you, when you go through pain ,you must live a life around that story. This is part of their control. You got divorced… so what … You are a wonderful being, the life resurrection is real and possible. Let go of Zoomanity and feel your being

~ Alan Forrest Smith

they say 'lifes never fair'. That's a myth from Zoomanity. Life is fair, life is good, we all get the same, its YOU that makes the diference and you only. Blaming life is a myth created by zoomanity so you can unload of your actions onto something else. This creates a passive accepting human – THE ZOOMAN!

~ Alan Forrest Smith

why do you have to explain, because they ask you to? Somethings need no explanation, they just are. When you block the flow of feeling you create problems for yourself. Zoomanity is confrontational. Listen and then allow

~ Alan Forrest Smith

Your heart is the correspondent of your soul. It knows the grooves of joy.
