“It's the questions we ask, the journey we take to get to where we are going that is more important than the actual answer.” ImportantAsksAnswersJourney Author:Charles de Lint
“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul's journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.” IfsBelieveSoulPurposeAsksWishAnswersExistencePracticeOur LivesJourneyMaterialsConsciousEmptyAriseAbundanceSpiteSuperficialUnansweredAuthentic LifeQueries Author:Ilchi Lee

“To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.” ThinkingMenLifeNeedsArtFactsDreamRealityPastFoundHoursAnswersAcceptingFantasyKnowingJourneyReadyLaysUncertaintyShakesWorks Of ArtDelicateHypothesisIncompleteEquilibriumDreams And RealityKnowledge Of GodOrdealsEarthly ThingsKnowledge Of The PastIncomplete Knowledge Author:Lillian Smith
