“Jesus' kingdom was not like the popular expectation. He used the phrase 'kingdom of God' with a different meaning. His kingdom was not of this world (John 18:36). It was not like the kingdoms of this world. It was the kingdom of God, a supernatural kingdom. It was invisible to most people (John 3:3)-it could not be understood or experienced without the Holy Spirit (v. 6). God is Spirit, and the kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom.” PeopleWorldDifferentSpiritualUsedSpiritJesusThis WorldHolyExpectationsUnderstoodInvisibleKingdomsPhrasesHoly SpiritKingdom Of GodDifferent Meanings Author:Tom Harpur

“During the last quarter of a century all the authority associated with the function of spiritual guidance ... has seeped down into the lowest publications. ... Between a poem by Valéry and an advertisement for a beauty cream promising a rich marriage to anyone who used it there was at no point a breach of continuity. So as a result of literature's spiritual usurpation a beauty cream advertisement possessed, in the eyes of little village girls, the authority that was formerly attached to the words of priests.” LittlesEyeLastsSpiritualUsedGirlLiteratureResultsRichCenturyAuthorityFunctionGuidancePriestsVillageQuartersPossessedCreamLowestNo PointContinuityPublicationAdvertisementsBreachUsurpationSpiritual GuidanceQuarter Of A Century Author:Simone Weil

“Karma is the record of services. Karma is the term used in Buddhist teaching. Taoists use the term te. Christians us the term "deed." Many other spiritual beings use the term "virtue."

“Yet spiritual realizations often remain compartmentalized, apart from everyday life, or become used as a rationale for living in an impersonal or soulless way. That is why, if we are to live our realizations and bring them into this world, we also need to work on the vessel of spirit - our embodied humanity. Soulwork is the forging of this vessel... If spiritual work brings freedom, soulwork brings integration. Both are necessary for a complete human life.” IfsWorldWayNeedsHumansSoulSpiritualUsedSpiritHumanityThis WorldEverydayRealizationHuman LifeEveryday LifeIntegrationVesselRationaleSoullessForgingSpiritual Work Author:John Welwood
“How we sit within the body is an extremely important part of the spiritual journey. The body itself is used either by the spirit within us, or by the fear-based mind. When it is used by the spirit, then it is a thing of holiness. How we dwell within it, how we treat it, and how we use it in relationship to other aspects of the planet is extremely important. When we use the body without reverence, we are destructive elements on the planet. We become destructive to ourselves, to other life forms, and to the earth.” MindImportantUseBodyEarthSpiritualFormUsedSpiritJourneyPlanetsElementsAspectTreatsHolinessDestructiveReverenceSpiritual Journey Author:Marianne Williamson
“I have come to accept that I'm a very spiritual person. However, it's interesting because part of me shies away from admitting that because I think that comes with assumptions.

“What takes its place is very dry education.

“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
