“The paths by which people journey toward happiness lie in part through the world about them and in part through the experience of their souls. On the one hand, there is the happiness which comes from wealth, honor, the enjoyment of life, from health, culture, science, or art; and, on the other hand, there is the happiness which is to be found in a good conscience, in virtue, work, philanthropy, religion, devotion to great ideas and great deeds.” PeopleWorldArtIdeasSoulHandsLyingCultureFoundWealthVirtuePathJourneyHonorConscienceDeedsDevotionEnjoymentPhilanthropyGreat Idea Book:Happiness - Essays On The Meaning Of Life Source: Happiness - Essays On The Meaning Of Life
“Today, as we have seen, fascism and communism are discredited, but are replaced by a paraphilic consumer culture driven by fantasy, desperately in search of distractions and escalating sensations, and a fundamentalist culture wherein the rigors of a private journey are shunned in favor of an ideology that, at the expense of the paradoxes and complexities of truth, favors one-sided resolutions, black-and-white values, and a privileging of one's own complexes as the norm for others.” TodayValuesCultureBlackWhiteFantasyJourneyComplexesDrivenFavorsIdeologyCommunismConsumersComplexityParadoxResolutionExpensesSensationsDistractionFascismBlack And WhiteReplacedNormFundamentalistRigorOne SidedConsumer CultureEscalating Author:James Hollis

“As we progress along the intercultural journey, we become self-reflective about habits of heart and mind and the ways these are expressed in daily life. We develop strategies for encountering change, unfamiliarity and ambiguity in creative ways. We begin to realize that what is taken, as "common sense" is really "cultural sense". Our life becomes richer and deeper for having encountered differences.” WayMindHeartSelfCultureRealizingDifferencesCommonCreativeTakenOur LivesProgressJourneyHabitStrategyDeeperCommon SenseDaily LifeHeart And MindAmbiguityIntercultural Author:H.

“Slow travel now rivals the fly-to-Barcelona-for-lunch culture. Advocates savour the journey, travelling by train or boat or bicycle, or even on foot, rather than crammed into an airplane.

“Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. This is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. But if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. We will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.” IfsWaySoulBigsMightHappensPainSpiritualCultureEasyDarknessVirtueFailingJourneyEssentialsVictimRefuseAllowingHealerAdmittingSpiritual Journey Author:Matthew Fox

“I have my writing therapy. For me, writing and friends therapy is an internal journey where you go in deep, you reflect, you try to heal your inner child. But as an activist, there's the outward, going wide therapy, where you get to realize at a certain point that talking about yourself gets boring. And it's also unhealthy to be so much into yourself. At some point, you have got to be able to look at the issue and say, "It's not about you.
