“To lovers of the wild, these mountains are not a hundred miles away. Their spiritual power and the goodness of the sky make them near, as a circle of friends. ... You cannot feel yourself out of doors; plain, sky, and mountains ray beauty which you feel. You bathe in these spirit-beams, turning round and round, as if warming at a camp-fire. Presently you lose consciousness of your own separate existence: you blend with the landscape, and become part and parcel of nature.” IfsFeelsSpiritualSpiritLosesExistenceConsciousnessFireDoorsSkyLoversMountainGoodnessHundredUnityRoundsMilesCirclesLandscapeCampsRaysBeamMiles AwayParcelSpiritual PowerCircle Of Friends Book:Meditations of John Muir: Nature's Temple Source: Meditations of John Muir: Nature's Temple

“I will only ever be drawn to people who suffer from that special and fertile anguish called self-doubt, or the thirst for the ideal, and desire for the soul's mystical fire.

“No matter what spiritual path you've walked or what teachings you've followed, they must lead you back to no path and no teaching. A true teaching is like a blazing fire that consumes itself. The teaching must not only consume you, but consume itself as well. All must be burned to ash, and then the ash must be burned. Then, and only then, is the Ultimate realized.” WellsMatterSpiritualPathFireTeachingUltimateNo Matter WhatBurnedAshesSpiritual PathBlazing Author:Adyashanti

“Just as a stone, a tree, a straw, grain, a mat, a cloth, a pot, and so on, when burned, are reduced to earth (from which they came), so the body and its sense organs, on being burned in the fire of Knowledge, become Knowledge and are absorbed in Brahman, like darkness in the light of the sun.” BodyLightEarthSpiritualDarknessSunFireTreeStonesPotOrgansGrainBurnedStrawsBrahman Author:Adi Shankara
“I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. It's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. This is what the mystics speak about. The insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. So it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. That is what the 'aha' is.” WorldBelieveWellsAbleSpiritualSpeakExistenceBrainConsciousnessFireGreaterOur LivesAwarenessPlanetsPerspectiveHappeningsBuiltConnectionsInsightAwakeningWell BeingFiringArchetypeSpiritual Nature Author:James Redfield
