“Unchecked, the dominating influences of money and of barren intellectualism would reduce the life of emotions to freezing point. And, unable to grasp the holier benefits of religion, the mysticism of the heart reacts in the art-intoxication. .... In this cold, irreligious and practical age the warmth of this devotion to art has kept alive many higher aspirations of our soul, which otherwise might readily have died, as they did in the middle of the last century.” HeartArtSoulMightAgeLastsCultureEmotionChristianityAliveInfluenceMiddleCenturyColdHigherBenefitsDiedPracticalsDevotionAspirationMysticismWarmthBarrenIntellectualismIntoxicationDominatingFreezing Book:Lectures on Calvinism Source: Lectures on Calvinism

“Books are never harmless...they either strengthen us or they weaken us in our faith. Some of them do this even as they entertain us, others as they teach us. In an invisible way their teaching penetrates into our hearts and souls, to continue its work inside, and we inhale the spirit of these books as healing or poisonous vapors. They can bring the greatest benefits and the greatest ruin, for from their ideas that they spread come the deeds of the future.” WayHeartBookIdeasSoulSpiritHealingTeachTeachingBenefitsDeedsSpreadInvisibleRuinsPenetrateHeart And SoulPoisonousInhaleVapor Author:Peter Prange

“Old age is the fourth stage. By the time one reaches this stage of his journey, he must have discovered that the joys available in this world are trivial and fleeting. He must be equipped with the higher knowledge of spiritual joy, available through delving into the inner spring of Bliss. Through his experiences, his heart must have softened and be filled with compassion. He has to be engrossed in promoting the progress of all beings without distinction. And he must be eager to share with others the knowledge he has accumulated and the benefit of his experiences.” WorldHeartAgeSpiritualJoyCompassionProgressJourneyShareStageThis WorldHigherBenefitsSpringFilledAvailableOld AgeBlissDistinctionFourthFleetingPromotingDelvingSpiritual Joy Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“Bypass surgery, angioplasty,and even diagnostic angiograms are so over used that, in my opinion, it constitutes criminal behaviour by the cardiologists and surgeons involved. Well controlled scientific studies have shown bypass surgery simply doesn't work, except to relieve severe chest pain. Those who have the surgery didn't even have a trend of longevity benefit compared to those treated without it. Yet, each year hundreds of thousands cave into the obvious fear tactics used by agressive heart doctors and submit to the bypass operation” YearsWellsHeartPainUsedOpinionStudyInvolvedBenefitsDoctorsObviousCriminalsTreatedOperationsControlledChestsTrendsSubmitBehaviourLongevitySurgerySevereCavesTacticsSurgeonsBypassCardiologistAgressive Author:Julian Whitaker
