“The delight of the Torah is ignited by an inner awareness. A man begins to sense the great tapestry of each letter and point. Every concept and content, every notion and idea, of every spiritual movement, of every vibration, intellectual and emotional, from the immediate and general to the distant and detailed, from matters lofty, spiritual, and ethical according to their outward profile, to matters practical, obligatory, seemingly frightening, and forceful, and at the same time complex and full of content and great mental exertion - all together become known by a supernal holy awareness.” MenIdeasMatterTogetherSpiritualKnownAwarenessMovementEmotionalHolyIntellectualConceptsLettersComplexesNotionDelightPracticalsGreat MenEthicalFrighteningVibrationsLoftyProfileExertionTapestryTorah Author:Abraham Isaac Kook
“One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of temperament. We make our temperament and our natural affinities barriers to coming to Jesus. The first thing we realize when we come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatever to our natural affinities. We have the notion that we can consecrate our gifts to God. You cannot consecrate what is not yours; there is only one thing you can consecrate to God, and that is your right to yourself (Romans 12:1). If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you. God’s experiments always succeed” IfsGivingFirstsJesusRealizingNaturalPayAttentionOne ThingHolySucceedNotionExcuseExperimentsBarriersTemperamentAffinityHindranceRomans 12 Book:My Utmost for His Highest: The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers : Features the Author's Daily Prayers Source: My Utmost for His Highest: The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers : Features the Author's Daily Prayers
“The core belief that drives terrorism is the notion of a "holy place," along with the idea that some people belong there and other people don't. That's why the only solution to terrorism is for religious scholars to hold a global summit to agree on the definition of "holy place." Once they agree on a definition, it will be easier to mock it into submission.” PeopleIdeasBeliefReligiousEasierHolySolutionsAgreeNotionDefinitionsTerrorismCoreScholarSubmissionSummitMockHoly PlacesCore Beliefs Author:Scott Adams
“Religion ... has certain ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. What it means is, 'Here is an idea or a notion that you're not allowed to say anything bad about; you're just not. Why not? Because you're just not. If someone votes for a party that you don't agree with, you're free to argue about it as much as you like; everybody will have an argument but nobody feels aggrieved by it. ... But on the other hand, if somebody says 'I mustn't move a light switch on a Saturday', you say 'I respect that'.” IfsFeelsHeartMeanIdeasHandsLightMovingCertainPartyHolyArgumentVoteAgreeSacredNotionArguingWhy NotSaturdaySay Anything Author:Douglas Adams
“To make sure that my blasphemy is thoroughly expressed, I hereby state my opinion that the notion of a god is a basic superstition, that there is no evidence for the existence of any god(s), that devils, demons, angels and saints are myths, that there is no life after death, heaven nor hell, that the Pope is a dangerous, bigoted, medieval dinosaur, and that the Holy Ghost is a comic-book character worthy of laughter and derision.” BookStatesCharacterHeavenExistenceOpinionHellDangerousHolyLaughterDevilEvidenceAngelNotionSaintWorthyMythGhostComicDemonSuperstitionsComic BookPopeMedievalAfter DeathHoly GhostDinosaursBlasphemyLife After DeathDerisionBook CharactersComic Book Characters Author:James Randi
“Imprint deep upon your minds the principles of piety towards God, and a reverence and fear of His holy name. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and its consummation is everlasting felicity.

“The historian Arthur Schlesinger has pointed out that people tend to get interested in politics again every 30 years. The universe moves in cycles of three. The number figures in everything from Pythagoras's theory that the universe is based on three to the Father-the-Son-and-the-Holy- Ghost to the three-sided pyramidal shapes that intersect in the Jewish Star of David. The notion of the mystical three, metaphysically, spiritually, and even politically, is quite interesting to me.” PeopleYearsMovingUniverseThreeFatherStarsInterestingNumbersFiguresSonTheoryHolyShapesNotionGhostCyclesHistorianMysticalHoly GhostArthur Author:Marianne Williamson

“But what of faith? What of fidelity and loyalty? Complete trust? Faith is not granted by tangible proof. It comes from the heart and the soul.
