“My favorite book in life is 'A Wrinkle In Time,' which I read before high school. It was my first introduction into the meeting of science and spirit and the universe and big thoughts and all of those interesting New Age-y concepts. It made everything make sense to me and opened up my mind.” MindFirstsMadeBookBigsAgeSchoolLife IsSpiritUniverseInterestingHigh SchoolConceptsMeetingsMy FavoriteMake SenseNew AgeIntroductionWrinklesFavorite BookWrinkle In Time Author:Mae Whitman
“Except during my childhood, when I was probably influenced by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel depiction of God with a flowing white beard, I have never tried to project the Creator in any kind of human likeness. The vociferous debates about whether God is male or female seem ridiculous to me. I think of God as an omnipotent and omniscient presence, a spirit that permeates the universe, the essence of truth, nature, being, and life. To me, these are profound and indescribable concepts that seem to be trivialized when expressed in words.” ThinkingHumansKindGodSeemsSpiritUniverseWhiteChildhoodProjectsConceptsFemaleEssenceProfoundMalesCreatorDebateRidiculousBeardOmnipotentIndescribableChapelOmniscientDepictionSistine Chapel Book:Living Faith Source: Living Faith
“When we assume God to be a guiding principle well, sure enough, a god is usually characteristic of a certain system of thought or morality. For instance, take the Christian God, the summum bonum: God is love, love being the highest moral principle; and God is spirit, the spirit being the supreme idea of meaning. All our Christian moral concepts derive from such assumptions, and the supreme essence of all of them is what we call God.” WellsIdeasEnoughChristianSpiritCertainLove IsMoralPrinciplesMoralityHighestConceptsEssenceAssumingSupremeInstanceCharacteristicsAssumptionGod Is LoveMoral PrinciplesGuiding PrinciplesChristian God Author:Carl Jung

“The only way a work of art can become great is for one to acknowledge that it doesn't belong to anybody. The greatness is in constantly giving back, coming to an acknowledgment of the source. Look back to the source of any individual, any process, any set of materials. If the individual personality can relinquish its insistence on concepts like this is mine, I did it, this is original, nobody else has done it, it goes straight for greatness or the essential spirit.” IfsWayGivingLooksArtDoneSpiritIndividualProcessGreatnessMinesMaterialsSourcePersonalityEssentialsConceptsOriginalsPhotographerAcknowledgeWorks Of ArtGiving BackInsistenceAcknowledgmentIndividual Personality Author:Paul Caponigro
“I think the spirit of America, one American wanting to make another American's life better, or internationally our desire to see countries do better, or people in countries do better, coming from this concept of volunteerism is a very valid and important part of our internal being.” PeopleThinkingImportantCountryAmericaSpiritDesireConceptsInternalsVolunteerism Author:George H.
