“Your life is the one place you have to spend yourself fully--wild, generous, drastic--in an unrationed profligacy of self ... And in that split second when you understand that you finally are about to die-to uncreate the world no time to do it over no more chances--that instant when you realize your conscious existence is truly flaring nova, won't you want to have used up all-all-the splendor that you are?” WorldWantSelfLife IsUsedDiesRealizingChanceExistenceConsciousGenerousInstantSplitsSplendorDrasticNovas Author:Robin Morgan
“God loves us already and has from our very beginning. The Christian life is not about believing or doing what we need to believe or do so that we can be saved. Rather, it's about seeing what is already true that God loves us already and then beginning to live in this relationship. It is about becoming conscious of and intentional about a deepening relationship with God.” NeedsBelieveChristianLife IsChristianitySeeingBecomingConsciousSavedChristian LifeGod LoveRelationship With GodGod Loves Us Author:Marcus Borg

“The focus of all life is its economy, the mode through which every living creature produces its material existence. I know no other criterion for the evaluation of social life except that of social economy. In society, just like anywhere else, the mode of production is the focus around which revolve all the modes of life: in the historical life of conscious beings, it is also the focus of all modes of consciousness.” KnowsLife IsSocialExistenceConsciousnessEconomyFocusProduceMaterialsCreaturesConsciousHistoricalProductionsCriteriaSocial LifeLiving CreaturesEvaluation Author:Moses Hess
“I know, that since life is our most precious gift, and as far as we can be absolutely certain, it's given to us to live but once, let us so live we will not regret years of useless virtue, and inertia, and timidity, and ignorance, and in our last moments we can say: 'All my life, all my conscious energies, have been dedicated to the most noble cause in the world, the liberation of the human mind and spirit - beginning with my own'.” KnowsWorldYearsMindHumansHas BeensMomentsLastsLife IsSpiritCertainEnergyGivenCausesMy OwnVirtueIgnoranceRegretConsciousNobleLiberationUselessHuman MindDedicatedInertiaTimidityPrecious GiftsNoble Causes Author:Maya Angelou

“The idea of suicide, understandable as it is, does not seem commendable to me. We live in order to gain the greatest possible amount of spiritual development and self-awareness. As long as life is possible, even if only in a minimal degree, you should hang onto it, in order to scoop it up for the purpose of conscious development. To interrupt life before its time is to bring to a standstill an experiment which we have not set up. We have found ourselves in the midst of it and must carry it through to the end.” IfsShouldLongDoeIdeasEndsSelfSeemsSpiritualLife IsPurposeOrderFoundAwarenessDevelopmentAmountDegreesConsciousGainsSelf AwarenessSuicideExperimentsMidstSpiritual DevelopmentStandstillCommendable Author:Carl Jung
“It isn't possible to kill part of your “self” unless you kill yourself first. If you ruin your conscious personality, the so-called ego-personality, you deprive the self of its real goal, namely to become real itself. The goal of life is the realization of the self. If you kill yourself you abolish that will of the self to become real, but it may arrest your personal development inasmuch it is not explained. You ought to realise that suicide is murder, since after suicide there remains a corpse exactly as with any ordinary murder. Only it is yourself that has been killed.” IfsFirstsMayHas BeensRealSelfLife IsGoalPersonalityDevelopmentOughtEgoOrdinaryConsciousMurderRemainsSuicidePersonal DevelopmentRuinsRealizationRealisingCorpsesAbolishLife GoalKilling Yourself Author:Carl Jung
