“Since I don't smoke, I decided to grow a mustache - it is better for the health. However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of tobacco, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends: "Mustache? Mustache? Mustache?" Nobody dared to touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches.” GrowsCasesCrazyStyleMy FriendsAspectDecidedTestsSacredSmokeCigaretteJewelsTobaccoMustache Author:Salvador Dali
“Humans impart meaning and purpose to almost all aspects of life. This sense of meaning and purpose gives us a road map for how to live a good life. This guidance emerges spontaneously from the interactions of human beings living in societies and thinking together about how best to get along. It doesn't require a god or sacred text.” ThinkingGivingHumansTogetherPurposeHuman BeingsAspectSacredGuidanceMapsGood LifeInteractionImpartAspects Of LifeRoad MapsSacred Texts Author:Greg Graffin
“The business aspects of the Fourth of July is not perfect as it stands. See what it costs us every year with loss of life, the crippling of thousands with its fireworks, and the burning down of property. It is not only sacred to patriotism and universal freedom, but to the surgeon, the undertaker, the insurance offices - and they are working it for all it is worth.” YearsLossPerfectCostOfficeAspectUniversalSacredPropertyBurningWorking ItFourth4th Of JulyJulySurgeonsNot PerfectFireworksUndertakerBurning Down Book:Mark Twain's Speeches Source: Mark Twain's Speeches
“Every being has its own interior, its self, its mystery, its numinous aspect. To deprive any being of this sacred quality is to disrupt the total order of the universe. Reverence will be total or it will not be at all. The universe does not come to us in pieces any more than a human individual stands before us with some part of his/her being.” HumansDoeSelfOrderUniverseIndividualQualityPiecesMysteryCreationIntegrityAspectSacredReverenceInteriorsNuminous Author:Thomas Berry
“For people raised and programmed on the patriarchal religions of today, religions that affect even the most secular aspects of our society, perhaps there remains a lingering, almost innate memory of sacred shrines and temples tended by priestesses who served in the religion of the original supreme deity. In the beginning, people prayed to the Creatress of Life, the Mistress of Heaven. At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman.

“Freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of identity. This is my Holy Trinity, each one an intrinsic aspect of my god: Freedom, the Holiest of Holies. Yes it bloody well is.

“Our main source of psychic energy in the future will depend on our ability to understand this symbol of evolution in an acceptable context of interpretation. Only in the context of an emergent universe will the human project come to an integral understanding of itself. We must, however, come to experience the universe in its psychic as well as in its physical aspect. We need to experience the sequence of evolutionary transformations as moments of grace, and also as celebration moments in our new experience of the sacred.” NeedsHumansWellsMomentsUniverseEnergyUnderstandingAbilityGraceSourceDependsEvolutionFutureProjectsAspectTransformationSacredSymbolsInterpretationCelebrationAcceptablePsychicsSequenceNew Experiences Book:The Great Work: Our Way into the Future Source: The Great Work: Our Way into the Future
“Japan, not only a mega-busy city that thrives on electronics and efficiency, actually has an almost sacred appreciation of nature.
