“Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship.” MeanGovernmentMightSpiritualCertainIndividualForgetDemocracyWorstMajorityDemocraticInternalsDevicesDictatorshipInfallibleIndividual FreedomUtilitarianSpiritual FreedomDemocratic GovernmentHomogeneousSafeguardingInternal Peace Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“It is not a dreamlike state, but the somehow insulated state, that a great musician achieves in a great performance. He's aware of where he is and what he's doing, but his mind is on the playing of his instrument with an internal sense of rightness - it is not merely mechanical, it is not only spiritual; it is something of both, on a different plane and a more remote one.” MindDifferentStatesSpiritualSportsAchieveMusicianPerformancesInstrumentsPlanesInternalsMotivational SportsGreat MusicGreat MusicianGreat Performance Author:Arnold Palmer

“Healing... is an active and internal process that includes investigating one's attitudes, memories and beliefs with the desire to release all negative patterns that prevent one's full emotional and spiritual recovery. This internal review inevitably leads one to review one's external circumstances in an effort to recreate one's life in a way that serves activation of will - the will to see and accept truths about one's life and how one has used one's energies; and the will to begin to use energy for the creation of love, self-esteem, and health.” WaySelfUseSpiritualUsedDesireBeliefEnergyProcessMemoriesEffortHealingAttitudeAcceptingSelf EsteemCreationEmotionalSelf LoveCircumstancesNegativePatternsActiveRecoveryEsteemReleaseInternalsReviewsInvestigatingAccepting The TruthActivation Book:Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing Source: Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
“Fighters are raised into MMA. It's more about what's internal, not what's God given. When you have a great fighter like Rickson Gracie or Fedor Emelianenko-they're greater than the others because they have an internal spiritual being that separates them from the rest in their craft. They have the warrior spirit.” SpiritualSpiritGivenGreaterRaisedCraftsFighterWarriorInternalsMmaSpiritual BeingsWarrior Spirit Author:Troy Polamalu
