“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature.” KnowsFirstsMayLightSpiritualFallWaterSpaceWonderRocksPaintingShapesAspectStonesGreenComplexesForestsCommandGoldenPerceiveValleysDelicateCompellingSunriseSoarSculptureThunderCliffsExceedWhisperingGlitterPersuasiveColossalEdificeDomesGraniteYosemiteFlowing Water Author:Ansel Adams
“Colour, as the strange and magnificent expression of the inscrutable spectrum of Eternity, is beautiful and important to me as a painter; I use it to enrich the canvas and to probe more deeply into the object. Colour also decided, to a certain extent, my spiritual outlook, but it is subordinated to life, and above all, to the treatment of form. Too much emphasis on colour at the expense of form and space would make a double manifestation of itself on the canvas, and this would verge on craft work.” ImportantUseBeautifulSpiritualFormCertainSpaceToo MuchObjectsStrangeExpressionDecidedEternityPainterCraftsManifestationColourTreatmentExpensesMagnificentCanvasEmphasisOutlookSpectrumVergeInscrutable Author:Max Beckmann
“The German landscape is something unique that we cannot disturb and have no right to destroy. The more densely populated our 'living space' becomes with settlements, the greater our hunger will grow for unspoilt nature. The ever increasing spiritual damage caused by life within the big city will make this hunger practically uncontrollable... when we build here on this the landscape of our homeland we must be clear that we will protect its beauty; and in places where this beauty has already disappeared, we will reconstruct it.” BigsSpiritualGrowsSpaceCitiesClearGreaterProtectUniqueHungerLandscapeDamageHomelandSettlementBig CitiesUncontrollable Author:Fritz Todt
“God, the supreme being, is neither circumscribed by space, nor touched by time; he cannot be found in a particular direction, and his essence cannot change. The secret conversation is thus entirely spiritual; it is a direct encounter between God and the soul, abstracted from all material constraints.” SoulSpiritualFoundSpaceSecretParticularMaterialsConversationDirectEssenceSupremeEncountersTouchedConstraintsSupreme Being Author:Avicenna
“Why is it that the less intelligence people have, the more spiritual they are? They seem to fill all the vacant, ignorant spaces in their heads with soul.

“It is amazing that 2001: A Space Odyssey has not aged at all, except for a few minor technical gadgets. The main reason is, of course, the philosophical or spiritual element in this story. We know as little today about the secrets of Creation and evolution as we knew before, and it is not likely that we'll ever know much more. We'll have to be satisfied, as Kubrick was, respectfully admiring the potential for evolution within the mystery of the universe's creation.” KnowsLittlesReasonStoriesTodaySpiritualUniverseCoursesSpaceSecretMysteryCreationEvolutionElementsPhilosophicalSatisfiedMinorsGadgetsAdmiringOdysseyCreation And EvolutionSpace Odyssey2001 A Space Odyssey Author:Jan Harlan
“Material things have closed boundaries; they are not accessible, cannot be penetrated, by things outside themselves. But one's existence as a spiritual being involves being and remaining oneself and at the same time admitting and transforming into oneself the reality of the world. No other material thing can be present in the space occupied by a house, a tree, or a fountain pen. But where there is mind, the totality of things has room; it is "possible that in a single being the comprehensiveness of the whole universe may dwell.” WorldMindMayWholeRealitySpiritualUniverseHouseSpaceRoomsExistenceTreeMaterialsOneselfBoundariesPensFountainTransformingTotalityAdmittingMaterial ThingsSpiritual BeingsFountain Pens Author:Josef Pieper
“There is good Karma, there is bad Karma, and as the wheel of life moves on, old Karma is exhausted and again fresh Karma is accumulated... Karma is twofold, hidden and manifest, Karma is the man that is, Karma is his action. True that each action is a cause from which evolves the countless ramifications of effect in time and space... To the worldy man Karma is a stern Nemesis, to the spiritual man Karma unfolds itself in harmony with his highest aspirations.” MenActionSpiritualMovingCausesSpaceEffectsHe ManHighestHarmonyKarmaEvolveAspirationWheelsManifestExhaustedTime And SpaceNemesisRamificationsBad KarmaGood KarmaLife Moves OnWheel Of Life Author:William Quan Judge
“Ethical religion affirms the continuity of progress toward moral perfection. It affirms that the spiritual development of the human race cannot be prematurely cut off, either gradually or suddenly; that every stone of offence against which we stumble is a stepping-stone to some greater good; that, at the end of days, if we choose to put it so, or, rather, in some sphere beyond the world of space and time, all the rays of progress will be summed and centred in a transcendent focus.” IfsWorldHumansEndsSpiritualSpaceRaceMoralGreaterFocusCuttingProgressDevelopmentStonesPerfectionHuman RaceThe End Of The DayEthicalRaysSpheresTime And SpaceContinuityTranscendentOffenceSpiritual DevelopmentStepping StonesGreater GoodMoral Perfection Author:Felix Adler
