“The natural principle of sowing and reaping is always at work. Whatever you plant , whether physical, spiritual, mental, financial, relational, or emotional, will grow and someday return to you in a multiplied fashion. It can be incredibly good or terribly bad, depending on your seed.” SpiritualGrowsNaturalPrinciplesFashionEmotionalReturnPlantFinancialSeedsSomedaySowing Author:Paul J. Meyer
“If it were only that people have diversities of taste, that is reason enough for not attempting to shape them all after one model. But different persons also require different conditions for their spiritual development, and can no more exist healthily in the same moral, than all the varieties of plants can in the same physical, atmosphere and climate.” PeopleIfsPersonsDifferentReasonEnoughSpiritualMoralConditionsDevelopmentTasteShapesDiversityModelsPlantClimateVarietyAtmosphereAttemptingSpiritual Development Book:The Classical Utilitarians: Bentham and Mill Source: The Classical Utilitarians: Bentham and Mill
“The romantic view of the natural world as a blissful Eden is only held by people who have no actual experience of nature. People who live in nature are not romantic about it at all. They may hold spiritual beliefs about the world around them, they may have a sense of the unity of nature or the aliveness of all things, but they still kill the animals and uproot the plants in order to eat, to live. If they don't, they will die.” PeopleIfsWorldMayStillsSpiritualOrderDiesBeliefNaturalAnimalViewsAll ThingsPlantUnityNatural WorldEdenSpiritual Beliefs Author:Michael Crichton
