spiritual ideas soul
Without the slightest doubt there is something through which material and spiritual energy hold togehter and are complementary. In the last analysis, somehow or other, there must be a single energy operating in the world. And the first idea that occurs to us is that the 'soul' must be as it were the focal point of transformation at which, from all the points of nature, the forces of bodies converge, to become interiorised and sublimated in beauty and truth.
spiritual journey may
We had thought that we were human beings making a spiritual journey; it may be truer to say that we are spiritual beings making a human journey.
spiritual process spiritual-life
In the spiritual life, as in all organic processes, everyone has their optimum and it is just as harmful to go beyond it as not to attain it.
spiritual people together
The outcome of the world, the gates of the future, the entry into the super-human--these are not thrown open to a few of the privileged nor to one chosen people to the exclusion of all others. They will open only to an advance of all together, in a direction in which all together can join and find completion in a spiritual renovation of the earth...
spiritual fashion wall
Humanity has been sleeping-and still sleeps-lulled within the narrowly confining joys of its little closed loves. In the depths of the human multitude there slumbers an immense spiritual power which will manifest itself only when we have learnt how to break through the dividing walls of our egoism and raise ourselves up to an entirely new perspective, so that habitually and in a practical fashion we fix our gaze on the universal realities.
spiritual human-experience humans
You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.
spiritual love-is blood
Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mystical of cosmic forces. Love is the primal and universal psychic energy. Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.
love spiritual pregnancy
Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.
life spiritual positive-thinking
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
duty limits men proceed though women
It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.
thinking psychics woven
No one can deny that a network (a world network) of economic and psychic affiliations is being woven at ever increasing speed which envelops and constantly penetrates more deeply within each of us. With every day that passes it becomes a little more impossible for us to act or think otherwise than collectively.
doe world god-love
God loves everyone in the world who doesn't love himself. Does God love God?
becoming capable
Not everything is immediately good to those who seek God; but everything is capable of becoming good.
real mean passion
The phrase 'Sense of the Earth' should be understood to mean the passionate concern for our common destiny which draws the thinking part of life ever further onward. The only truly natural and real human unity is the spirit of the Earth. . . .The sense of Earth is the irresistable pressure which will come at the right moment to unite them (humankind) in a common passion.The Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth.
