“In moments of spiritual crisis we naturally fall back upon what worked for us, or seemed to work, heretofore. Sometimes this shows up through the reassertion of our old values in belligerent, testy ways. Regression of any kind is just such a return to old presumptions, often after they have been shown to be insufficient for the complexity of larger questions. The virtue of the old presumptions is that they once worked, or seemed to work, and therein lies if not certainty, then nostalgia for a previous, presumptive security. In our private lives, we frequently fall back upon our old roles.” IfsWayKindHas BeensSometimesMomentsShowsSpiritualLyingValuesFallRolesVirtueSecurityReturnCrisisNostalgiaCertaintyComplexityPrivate LifeFall BackPresumptionInsufficientRegressionSpiritual CrisisOld Values Book:What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life Source: What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life
“I think poetry can be a kind of secular way in which people can be led to approach the difficult parts of their life, where there's been loss, where there's sadness of a deep kind. If poetry can help people to be more at ease in expressing even to themselves a lot of the darkness and pain of ordinary human existence, then it's serving some kind of cultural role, perhaps more than a cultural role, perhaps it is serving something of a spiritual role.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayHumansKindHelpingPainSpiritualDifficultLossExistenceRolesDarknessSadnessApproachOrdinaryEaseServingSecularHuman Existence Author:Kevin Hart
“I got Twin Peaks, and the part was basically written for me, which was a really big shock.

I just was in classes with her.” ThinkingBigsTogetherSpiritualClassRolesTeacherWrittenChangedShockTwinsComing TogetherTwin Peaks Author:Sherilyn Fenn
“What is any religion? A little ritual, a little superstition, and some magic. It's not a strictly spiritual affair; it has psychological roles to fulfill.

“Spirituality has to play an important role, particularly in resistance movements. The institutions we are fighting against - corporations and governments - use alienation as one of their primary weapons. A big part of their messaging is intended to make people feel separated from each other, which disempowers them, which makes them ever easier to exploit. This is really a spiritual weapon they are using. It isolates people and breaks their spirit.” PeopleFeelsImportantPlayUseBigsGovernmentSpiritualSpiritSpiritualityFightingRolesBreakMovementEasierWeaponsInstitutionsResistancePrimariesCorporationsAlienationExploits Author:Tim DeChristopher
