“It is not only the proclamation of the whole truth that is needed today; it is the release of the spiritual reality which the truth expresses, and that can only be realized as we allow ourselves to be caught into the mighty on-flowing tide of the Spirit.” WholeRealityTodaySpiritualSpiritNeededCaughtReleaseTidesProclamationWhole Truth Author:Watchman Nee
“What is dangerous about the far right is not that it takes religion seriously - most of us do - but rather that it condemns all other spiritual choices - the Buddhist, the Jew, the Muslim, and many others who consider themselves to be good Christians. The wall of separation between church and state is needed precisely because religion, like art, is too important a part of the human experience to be choked by the hands of censors.” HumansArtImportantStatesHandsChristianSpiritualReligionChoicesChurchDangerousWallNeededArt IsJewBe GoodSeparationBuddhistHuman ExperienceChurch And StateGood ChristianSeparation Between Church And State Author:Barbra Streisand

“In Western culture, there's a dichotomy between the easy narratives of God and the Devil. I now believe in this greater overarching spiritual thing. We are the light and the dark, and have to own the darkness. It's part of us. It's not evil. It's needed. You need to own both of them to be whole.

“I remember my first lesson on the pilgrimage was the lesson of receiving. I had been on the giving side for many years and I needed to learn to accept as gracefully as I had been able to give, in order to give the other fellow the joy and blessing of giving.

To me it's the only way to live because as you give you receive spiritual blessings.” WayGivingYearsFirstsAbleBeautifulRememberSpiritualJoyOrderSidesAcceptingNeededLessonsBlessingFellowsReceivingWay To LivePilgrimageSpiritual Blessings Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
