The odds are stacked against us until we realize: We make the odds. ~ Tehya Sky
Spiritual Author quotes by Tehya Sky
Dance bravely into your own heart, and you will find the love of all. ~ Tehya Sky
Spiritual Author quotes by Tehya Sky
If love as a sentiment was the discovery of the medieval poets, love as a moral emotion might be called that of the eighteenth-century philosophers, who, for all their celebration of free unions and fatal passions, were really on the side of the angels, were fighting the battle of the spiritual against the sensual, of conscience against appetite. ~ Edith Wharton
Spiritual Author quotes by Edith Wharton
Why shouldn't you strengthen your own vibrations through fellowship with people seeking Self-realization, and by group meditation with them? This practice will fortify your own spiritual convictions you will find that many seemingly insuperable barriers in your life will crumble and dissolve in the waters of meditation. Your devotion and love for God will commingle with the devotion and love of others. Divine bliss will radiate from you, helping all persons you meet. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Spiritual Author quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Living in the spiritual world is very easy, once you grow accustomed to it. But initially, it puts you through some changes. ~ Frederick Lenz
Spiritual Author quotes by Frederick Lenz
The devil doesn't want God's Word to get to you. He doesn't want it to be pure when it does reach your ears. He wants to snatch the Word of God right out of the air on its way to the ground of your heart. He attacks the church, the pastors and teachers, and he attacks the doctrine; he attacks the hearer and the hearing of the Word. He makes it hard for you to go to church. He makes it hard for the church to continue.

Have you ever wondered why Sunday mornings are so difficult? Why waking up and driving to church seems much more difficult than it ought to? Why listening to a sermon is such hard work? Or have you wondered why things are so difficult in the church, why there never seems to be peace, but there is always trouble? The Word of God is always opposed, and getting our ears and our hearts to the place where they hear God's Word is spiritual warfare.

Here's why:

The preaching and teaching of God's Word is the supply line for the Christian life. ~ Bryan Wolfmueller
Spiritual Author quotes by Bryan Wolfmueller
As long as you ask questions you are breaking through, but the moment you begin to accept, you are psychologically dead. So right through life don't accept a thing, but inquire, investigate. Then you will find that your mind is something really extraordinary, it has no end, and to such a mind there is no death. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Spiritual Author quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
At the time of death, one says, 'Dear Lord, extend my life for two more hours, so that a Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] comes and I can do his darshan.' He complains in this way. Do not complain now. Why are you pleading now? When you had the control, you didn't do anything and now that you no longer have the control, you are making demands? ~ Dada Bhagwan
Spiritual Author quotes by Dada Bhagwan
There are few experiences as depressing as that anxious barren state known as writer's block, where you sit staring at your blank page like a cadaver, feeling your mind congeal, feeling you talent run down your leg and into your sock. ~ Anne Lamott
Spiritual Author quotes by Anne Lamott
I think you too recognize the important relationship between philosophy and art, and it is just this relationship that most painters deny. The great masters do grasp it, unconsciously; but I believe that a painter's conscious spiritual knowledge will have a much greater influence upon his art, and that it would be due only to a weakness in him, or lack of genius, should this spiritual knowledge be harmful to his art ... ~ Piet Mondrian
Spiritual Author quotes by Piet Mondrian
Why indeed must 'God' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all. ~ Mary Daly
Spiritual Author quotes by Mary Daly
Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do - it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin. ~ Jerry Bridges
Spiritual Author quotes by Jerry Bridges
I believe that everyone should have a dream and believe in it. Make it real, bring it to life. You'll never regret trying. Trying is what strengthens your heart and delivers courage. Once you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. ~ Richard P. Denney
Spiritual Author quotes by Richard P. Denney
For Calvin, the creation reflects its Creator at every point. Image after images flashed in front of our eyes, as Calvin attempts to convey the multiplicity of ways in which the creation witnesses to its Creator: it is like a visible garment, which the invisible God dons in order to make himself known; it is like a book in which the name on the Creator is written as its author; it is like a theater, in which the glory of God is publicly displayed; it is like a mirror, in which the works and wisdom of God are reflected. ~ Alister E. McGrath
Spiritual Author quotes by Alister E. McGrath
Our actions are like ships which we may watch set out to sea, and not know when or with what cargo they will return to port. ~ Iris Murdoch
Spiritual Author quotes by Iris Murdoch
Authenticity is fundamental, more fundamental than spiritual enlightenment. Without authenticity, no genuine spiritual enlightenment is possible. Authenticity is the state of being committed to truth. Truth is simple. And no matter how simply a truth is stated, only those who have walked the path of understanding and evolution on their own can know and understand it authentically. The path of truth is the path least traveled. Authenticity is the clarity of being in which there is no self-deceit. ~ Yasuhiko Kimura
Spiritual Author quotes by Yasuhiko Kimura
The kind uncles and aunts of the race are more esteemed than its true spiritual fathers and mothers. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Spiritual Author quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I never dreamt I could be an author when I grew up. It just didn't occur to me, because I thought you had to be a) academic, so go to university, things like that, and I didn't think I was clever, or b) dead because I just assumed all the authors in the library were dead. ~ Geraldine McCaughrean
Spiritual Author quotes by Geraldine McCaughrean
If we would take the traits that characterized the Pilgrims and make them our own, we could regain hope. We could recover the spiritual and moral strength that we have lost. We could offer a thrilling challenge to our young people. ~ Billy Graham
Spiritual Author quotes by Billy Graham
The thing you don't realize, my dear girl, is that I have been forced by the economic realities to start taking publishing very seriously. For example, it has been brought to my attention that our ability to continue to pay the hordes of people employed by M&S (God knows how many mouths have to be fed) depends directly on the number of copies of your new book [Life Before Man] that we are able to sell between September and Christmas. In past I have been able to treat this whole thing as a fun game. I have never been troubled by the cavalier explanations about lost manuscripts and fuck-ups of various sorts. Now I have learned that this is a deadly serious game. I don't laugh at jokes about the Canadian postal service. I cry. (in a letter to author Margaret Atwood, dated February, 1979) ~ Jack McClelland
Spiritual Author quotes by Jack McClelland
I think authors like me are always struggling with the idea that they should have a brand and a Facebook author page and they should get Twitter accounts. I don't know what to do with them. ~ Lynn Coady
Spiritual Author quotes by Lynn Coady
The ego with its protective defense mechanisms is the biggest impediment to attaining spiritual growth. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Spiritual Author quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The more spiritual successes that Edwards experienced, the more he seemed to intentionally infuse his sermons with language deemed to move a person's emotional center - their souls - to spiritually and physically respond. ~ Matthew Paul Turner
Spiritual Author quotes by Matthew Paul Turner
The goal is not just to create joy for ourselves but, as the Archbishop poetically phrased it, "to be a reservoir of joy, an oasis of peace, a pool of serenity that can ripple out to all those around you." As we will see, joy is in fact quite contagious. As is love, compassion, and generosity. So being more joyful is not just about having more fun. We're talking about a more empathic, more empowered, even more spiritual state of mind that is totally engaged with the world. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Spiritual Author quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
There seemed no reason why she shouldn't try writing something in between, but she was discovering once again that reading and writing were not the same - you couldn't just soak it up and then squeeze it out again. ~ David Nicholls
Spiritual Author quotes by David Nicholls
Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner. ~ Criss Jami
Spiritual Author quotes by Criss Jami
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spiritual Author quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A segregated spiritual subculture does women no good, even if it does have adorable butterflies in the logo. ~ Frederica Mathewes-Green
Spiritual Author quotes by Frederica Mathewes-Green
You can't really separate modernity from history or spiritual concerns from mundane ones. Everything feeds into everything else. ~ G. Willow Wilson
Spiritual Author quotes by G. Willow Wilson
There is no conclusive evidence of life after death, but there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know, so why fret about it? ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Spiritual Author quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Looking back to [Christendom's] youth, we recall the emotional stirrings, the deep sense of Christian purpose, when a temple, say, challenged the existing social order... Where is our Christian duty, our Christian aim? We do not know, we cannot say. Yet our ignorance and silence are certainly not due to the fact that the welfare state has made Christian thinking out of date and irrelevant.

The reason we have nothing to say to the contemporary situation is that we have not been thinking about the contemporary situation. We stopped thinking about these things long ago. We stopped thinking Christianly outside the scope of personal morals and personal spirituality. We got into the habit of stepping out of our Christian garments whenever we stepped mentally into the field of social and political life. Becuase the subject was social or political, we left all of our well-tried and well-grounded Christian concepts behind us, and adopted the vocabulary of secularism. We put aside all talk of vocation, or God's providence, or man's spiritual destiny, and instead chattered with the rest about productivity, assembly line psychology, and deployment of personnel. ~ Harry Blamires
Spiritual Author quotes by Harry Blamires
I believe he's been asked to testify today," I told Lennox, who'd continued to track Truman's progress through the room. "He's a member of the historical undead, Truman Capote, the author. He wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood."...
"Hi, Truman, you're sitting next to me," I said, pulling out his chair. I figured after he'd asked me to suck on his cherry, we should be on a first-name basis. ~ Suzanne Johnson
Spiritual Author quotes by Suzanne Johnson
It is essential that anyone reading this book know at the outset that the author is apolitical. I was convinced in 1927 that humanity's most fundamental survival problems could never be solved by politics. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller
Spiritual Author quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
After you've seen behind the facade of a stage set you can't take the play seriously any more. You can't go backwards and regain your ignorance; you have to move forward. ~ Zeena Schreck
Spiritual Author quotes by Zeena Schreck
It is darkness that propels light to its prominence. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Spiritual Author quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Education is liberation, knowledge is power. ~ Henry Johnson Jr
Spiritual Author quotes by Henry Johnson Jr
Love rules through Law. Love is the Divine Givingness; Law is the Way. Love is spontaneous; Law is impersonal ... Love points the way and Law makes the way possible. ~ Ernest Holmes
Spiritual Author quotes by Ernest Holmes
my god
is not as unreachable as
they'd like you to think
my god is beating inside us infinitely ~ Rupi Kaur
Spiritual Author quotes by Rupi Kaur
The author relates the progress of inoculation against smallpox in America with the interaction between an African slave named Onisimus whose homeland knew how to treat the malady and and leading clergyman Cotton Mather who was curious and open-minded enough to listen to him. ~ Robert J. Allison
Spiritual Author quotes by Robert J. Allison
At dramatic rehearsals, the only author that's better than an absent one is a dead one. ~ George S. Kaufman
Spiritual Author quotes by George S. Kaufman
Many an author will speak of writing, in his best work, more than he actually knows. ~ Nancy Hale
Spiritual Author quotes by Nancy Hale
My real pleasure is that 4 times a week 1,800 people are standing up and shouting on Broadway for an author who died hundreds of years ago. ~ Terry Hands
Spiritual Author quotes by Terry Hands
My God! My God!! My God!!! ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Spiritual Author quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The grace to define your self is spiritual act. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Spiritual Author quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The mind is the foundation for the next life. The foundation of the body will diminish [in this life itself]. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Spiritual Author quotes by Dada Bhagwan
The fact is that at different stages of your life, and under the influence of different inspirations, you write different things. The point is not necessarily to find your voice, which grinds out the same sort of thing again and again, but to find a vehicle for people who are far more important than the author: the characters. ~ Vikram Seth
Spiritual Author quotes by Vikram Seth
If you'll not let me be spiritual about it, you'll have to put up wi' my baser nature. I'm going to be a beast." He bit my neck. "Do ye want me to be a horse, a bear, or a dog? ~ Diana Gabaldon
Spiritual Author quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Martin had a period of relishing the Boston thug-writer George V. Higgins, author of The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Higgins's characters had an infectious way of saying 'inna' and 'onna,' so Martin would say, for example, 'I think this lunch should be onna Hitch' or 'I heard he wasn't that useful inna sack.' Simple pleasures you may say, but linguistic sinew is acquired in this fashion and he would not dump a trope until he had chewed all the flesh and pulp of it and was left only with pith and pips. Thus there arrived a day when Park Lane played host to a fancy new American hotel with the no less fancy name of 'The Inn on The Park' and he suggested a high-priced cocktail there for no better reason than that he could instruct the cab driver to 'park inna Inn onna Park.' This near-palindrome (as I now think of it) gave us much innocent pleasure. ~ Christopher Hitchens
