“The color of the prisoner's skin, and the form of his features, are not impressed upon the spiritual immortal mind which works beneath. In spite of human pride, he is still your brother, and mine, in form and color accepted and approved by his Father, and yours, and mine, and bears equally with us the proudest inheritance of our race - the image of our Maker. Hold him then to be a Man.” MenMindHumansStillsSpiritualFormFatherRaceMinesColorBrotherPrideBearsSkinsAcceptedFeaturesSpiteImmortalMakersPrisonerImpressedInheritanceBe A ManApprovedYour BrotherNot Impressed Author:William H.

“The truth of who we are has nothing to do with religion or the type of car that we drive or the color of our skin. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. And the human experience part is very temporary. So, things like the bar, love, magic, dancing, and colors are there to remind us to not take all of this stuff so seriously.” HumansSpiritualStuffMagicCarColorTypeSkinsDancingBarsWho We AreTemporaryHuman ExperienceSpiritual Beings Author:RuPaul
“The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material conditions and feel our divine nature. We do not depend upon any external help in meditation. The touch of the soul can paint the brightest color even in the dingiest places; it can cast a fragrance over the vilest thing; it can make the wicked divine-and all enmity, all selfishness is effaced.” FeelsSoulHelpingSpiritualLife IsMeditationConditionsDivineColorMaterialsDependsPaintCastsSelfishnessWickedSpiritual LifeFragranceEnmityDivine Nature Book:Meditation and Its Methods Source: Meditation and Its Methods
“Everything comes from one thing, everything comes from the Spirit. Jazz would not exist had it not been for gospel music, the blues would not exist had it not been for spiritual blues, which goes back to slave songs our fore fathers were singing while they were out in the field. So it's all one continuous growth from one group of people. Of course jazz now is played by various cultures and colors around the world. But the stimulus is One Voice.” PeopleWorldSpiritualSpiritSongCultureCoursesFatherGrowthVoiceOne ThingGroupsFieldsColorSingingJazzSlaveVariousAround The WorldStimulusGospel MusicContinuous Growth Author:Ramsey Lewis
