“Fantasy stories open our eyes to an unseen world and train our minds to see beyond the visible. In the New Testament context, this is where our real battles are fought. Good fantasy will reveal the hidden powers of evil that threaten the hero's life and upset his journey. Good fantasy focuses on how a hero finds victory when he learns that he can't win by himself, so he submits to the higher power in faith and obedience.” WorldMindRealStoriesEyeEvilWinningFantasyJourneyHeroVictoryHigherBattleTrainObedienceUpsetVisibleSubmitTestamentUnseenNew TestamentHigher PowerCan't WinFantasy Stories Author:Bryan Davis

“Fantasy is a literature particularly useful for embodying and examining the real difference between good and evil. In an America where our reality may seem degraded to posturing patriotism and self-righteous brutality, imaginative literature continues to question what heroism is, to examine the roots of power, and to offer moral alternatives. Imagination is the instrument of ethics. There are many metaphors besides battle, many choices besides war, and most ways of doing good do not, in fact, involve killing anybody. Fanstasy is good at thinking about those other ways.” ThinkingWayMayWarRealSelfFactsRealitySeemsAmericaChoicesEvilLiteratureImaginationDifferencesMoralFantasyBattleOffersEthicsRootsInstrumentsKillingMetaphorAlternativesGood And EvilRighteousHeroismImaginativeDoing GoodBrutalityExaminingSelf Righteous Author:Ursula K.

“The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one.

“The warrior of light knows the importance of intuition. In the midst of battle, he does not have time to think of the enemy's blows, and so he uses his instinct and obeys his angel. in times of peace, he deciphers the signs that God sends him. People say, "He's mad." Or, "He lives in a fantasy world." Or even, "How can he possibly believe in such illogical things?" But the warrior knows that intuition is God's alphabet and he continues listening to the wind and talking to the stars.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldBelieveDoeUseLightStarsTalkingEnemyFantasyWindListeningBattleAngelImportanceMadInstinctBlowIntuitionWarriorMidstAlphabetTime To ThinkIllogicalDecipherFantasy WorldsWarrior Of The Light Author:Paulo Coelho
“When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice. Only in this moment can we discover that which is timeless. Only here can we find the love that we seek. Love in the past is simply memory, and love in the future is fantasy. Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.” WorldHeartEndsMomentsRealityPastSpiritualUnderstandingMemoriesPracticeFantasyBattleLetting GoConnectionsAnd LovePresent MomentTimelessFinding PeaceSpiritual PracticeMemories And Love Author:Jack Kornfield
