Even the Master, in one way or another, is a student throughout life.

It's all about the spirit. Every man, woman and child should be seen as a spirit first, before anything else. We are all spirits in the first instance.

Andrew Agbonlahor

Your mind is a powerful tool. Learn how to harness this power and your life will be filled with great things.

Teresa Garcia

Like everything else in life, these questions have no easy answers.

P. Wish

Testimony in new age writing affirms the way in which embracing a love ethic transforms life for the good. Yet a lot of this information only reaches those of us who have class privilege. And often, individuals whose lives are rich in spiritual and material well-being, who have diverse friends from all walks of life who nurture their personal integrity, tell the rest of the world these things are impossible to come by. I am talking here about the many prophets of doom who tell us that racism will never end, sexism is here to stay the rich will never share their resources. We would all be surprised if we could enter their lives for a day. Much of what they are telling us cannot be had, they have. But in keeping with a capitalist-based notion of well-being, they really believe there is not enough to go around, that the good life can only be had by a few.

Bell Hooks

All our thought process should be concentrated on merger of soul with the vital life. When this realisation is achieved, it leads the soul from Atma to Paramatma, one in poccession of all.

Kunal Narayan Uniyal

For the being, maybe. But for the spirit, there are no quick sands.

Fakeer Ishavardas

When is a train most free? Is it when it goes bouncing across the field off the track? No. It is free only when it is confined (if you will) to the track. Then it runs smoothly and efficiently, because that was the way that its maker intended for it to run. It needs to be on the track, structured by the track, to run properly. You too need to be on the track. God's track is found in God's Word.

Jay E. Adams

Jesus let the disciples know that they were striving in the wrong direction. They were trying to climb up a ladder that they instead should be climbing down.

Jennifer L. Lane

The infallible test of spiritual integrity, Jesus says, is your private prayer life. Many people will pray when they are required by cultural or social circumstances. Those with a genuinely lived relationship with God as Father, however, will inwardly want to pray and therefore will pray even though nothing on the outside is pressing them to do so. They pursue it even during times of spiritual dryness, when there is no social or experiential payoff.

Timothy J. Keller

Climbing in the Spirit is accompanied by kneeling, and not by running; by surrender, and not by determination. Despair of self leads to utter desperation; but beyond these mists lies the sunshine of God's presence.

V. Raymond Edman

The pattern [of the crisis of the deeper life] seems to be self-centeredness, self-effort, increasing inner dissatisfaction and outer discouragement, a temptation to give it all up because there is no better way, and then finding the Spirit of God to be their strength, their guide, their confidence and companion--in a word, their life.

V. Raymond Edman

A jeweler will prefer the smallest fragment of diamond to several sapphires; and so, in the order established by God, our intimacy with Him gives Him more glory than all possible good, procured by us, for a great number of souls, but to the detriment of our own progress. Our Heavenly Father, “who devotes Himself more to the direction of a soul in which He reigns, than to the natural government of the whole universe and to the civil government of all empires,” looks for this harmony in our zeal.

Jean-Baptiste Chautard

Everything begins to feel right when we see the world in a different way."Living Beyond the Five Senses

Teresa L. DeCicco

We praise God, not because he needs our praise (for all glory resides in and on him), but in order to see him more clearly, enlarge our soul, and relieve our spirit.

Ron Brackin

After coming to God and being revived spiritually, every person should grow spiritually

Sunday Adelaja

Strange, as we find that alongside growing secularism in science and politics, growing materialism in the industrial revolution, and growing self-reliance in the world God becomes rejected by the world and Christians alike accepting an alternative God and yet time and time again we will find a great spiritual awakening and a great global advancement of the gospel of Jesus being birth.

John M Sheehan

Fakeer Ishavardas

Fakeer Ishavardas

Fakeer Ishavardas

Our hope is that all is well because of Jesus and that all will be well because of Him.

John Eldredge

At 70 and as a “seasoned citizens” I love to explore and experience “retiring to a forest" the ancient Vedic ashram system. This is a process that begins when a person is ready to hand over responsibilities to the next generation, take an advisory role, and gradually begin to withdraw from the world while enjoying the so called Golden Years and cherishing them as gold, while align our energies with our goal for increasing our spiritual awareness and growth. _nickc

Grampa says the grass is not greener on the other side. All grass changes with the seasons, it grows, it browns, and it can die if you do not nurture it. You must accept the changes, yet the grass is as green as you make it right here and now! Going from one meadow to another does not change the season! Or the meadow!"Deetkatu, Meet the Little People…An Enchanting Adventure

Chris DiSano Davenport

Deborah Brodie

God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby's face.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

A misleading perception or false belief is increasingly being perpetuated that the unconscious or the intuitive is all that really matters in any spiritual endeavor, and that the conscious, rational, logical, analytical mind is the mortal enemy of spiritual awareness and soul growth.

Anthon St. Maarten

It is the darkness that makes the light visible, and not the other way around.

Nancy Venable Raine

You are exactly who you need to be in this moment. Don't begrudge that or justify it.

Jennifer Mclean

Welcome players… to both the story and experience of a survival-adventure ‘game’ that has become an extra reality for so many. It’s surely worth this telling since it’s as much your story as those involved in its creation, including so many scientists - those true pioneers - who still work to discover more of its secrets, in - and out - of the Source.

Ade McOran-Campbell

I absolutely know that you can, under your own steam, dissolve the shell that separates you from a higher experience of Self and a much better life. You don't need gurus or to be catapulted into super-natural experiences by dramatic events — you are becoming such a high-frequency being right here in your physical body, that what used to be meta-physical, trans-personal, and para-normal is now almost ordinary." —from Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration

Penney Peirce

We are not called to embody Jesus ourselves; He has already been incarnated and is still even now! No, we are not called to be Jesus; we are called to fall at His feet and worship Him. We are called to affirm that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." [John 1:14] And it is through this worship, through recognizing His rightful place, that we are finally humbled.When we are consumed with God's glory, we forget to worry about our own. When our eyes are fixed on Him as the source of all goodness and truth and beauty, we accept that we are not. When we are enamored by His worth and majesty, we can stop being so enamored with ourselves. And fascinatingly, when we seek God's glory, we'll be able to appreciate it in the people around us. Instead of seeing them as threats to our own glory, we will see them as beautiful reflections of His.

Hannah Anderson

What sometimes appears to be a dramatic, traumatic obstacle is really a call for spiritual advancement....to grow into our spiritual garment. A shift in perspective brought by the White Light of Holy Spirit makes all the difference in the worlds.

When you want to know how God wants you to reach your city, start a new church, or be involved in His work, ask Him. Then when He tells you, don't be surprised if you can't find any church that is doing it the same way.

Henry T. Blackaby

You will know the person who was meant to be in your life by how they make you feel spiritually. If they live in such a way that inspires you to become better then you have found someone you can evolve with vs. raise.
