“My spiritual life is... sometimes I have access to it and sometimes I don't. When I do have access to it, it's usually a sense of my understanding what the best course of action or the best thing for me to do. By best, I mean when I have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.” PeopleMeanRealSometimesActionSpiritualLife IsUniverseCoursesUnderstandingConnectedAccessBest ThingsRight ThingSpiritual LifeDoing GoodDoing The Right Thing Author:Al Franken
“When people see my images, a lot of times they will say, 'Oh my God.' Have you ever wondered what that meant? The 'oh' means it caught your attention, it makes you present, it makes you mindful. The 'my' means it connects with something deep inside your soul, it creates a gateway for your inner voice to rise up and be heard. And God, 'God' is that personal journey we all want to be on, to be inspired, to feel like we are connected to a universe that celebrates life.” PeopleWantFeelsMeanSoulUniverseVoiceAttentionHeardJourneyInspiredCaughtConnectedCelebrateYour SoulInner VoiceDeep InsideBe InspiredGatewaysCelebrate LifePersonal Journey Author:Louis Schwartzberg
“When you say that [Martin Luther] King was a prophet, you don't say that he predicted anything; you say that he bore witness. He left a committed life so that people would never forget the suffering of people that he was connected to. King was prophetic because he lived a committed life. Now he did critique society, saying you're going to go under if you don't treat your poor right. I mean, that is part of prophetic calling, but it's not predicting anything.” PeopleIfsMeanSufferingLeftForgetPoorKingsCallingTreatsCommittedConnectedWitnessProphetNever ForgetBoresLutherCritiquePropheticPredicting Author:Cornel West
“Art has to be a kind of confession. I don't mean a true confession in the sense of that dreary magazine. The effort it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover them, too - the terms with which they are connected to other people.” PeopleIfsKindMeanArtSeemsFacesTermEffortConnectedMagazinesConfessionDreary Author:James A.

“No other technique for the conduct of life attaches the individual so firmly to reality as laying emphasis on work; for his work at least gives him a secure place in a portion of reality, in the human community. The possibility it offers of displacing a large amount of libidinal components, whether narcissistic, aggressive or even erotic, on to professional work and on to the human relations connected with it lends it a value by no means second to what it enjoys as something indispensable to the preservation and justification of existence in society.” GivingHumansMeanRealityValuesIndividualEnjoyCommunityWorkExistencePossibilityAmountOffersRelationConnectedTechniqueSecureAggressivePortionsJustificationIndispensablePreservationEmphasisComponentsEroticNarcissisticHuman RelationsProfessional Work Book:The standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud Source: The standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud
