What a vicious circle we can put ourselves in: we have come to accept the notion of "fix me first," when part of the essential fixing we all need is to be compassionately involved with others. ~ Bo Lozoff
Spiritual Journey quotes by Bo Lozoff
I calculated how easy it would be to pull a chair next to the windowsill, climb up, and simply allow my body to fall four stories to the street. Then an inner voice broke in, There's got to be something more. Go find it. ~ Debra Moffitt
Spiritual Journey quotes by Debra Moffitt
I would say courage first; then wisdom, which is a sense of knowledge and confidence; and also the wish and desire to uplift. The underlying notion is "How do I help?" That attitude really is a spiritual journey and a path. ~ Sakyong Mipham
Spiritual Journey quotes by Sakyong Mipham
Just be open, life is about a constant journey and I'm very spiritual, but I'm also in touch with what's going on around me and who I am, and you have to know yourself. So for me, that's what keeps me going is just being interactive. ~ Ledisi
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ledisi
Although claiming my true identity as a child of God, I still live as though the God to whom I am returning demands an explanation. I still think about his love as conditional and about home as a place I am not yet fully sure of. While walking home, I keep entertaining doubts about whether I will be truly welcome when I get there. As I look at my spiritual journey, my long and fatiguing trip home, I see how full it is of guilt about the past and worries about the future. I realize my failures and know that I have lost the dignity of my sonship, but I am not yet able to fully believe that where my failings are great, 'grace is always greater.' Still clinging to my sense of worthlessness, I project for myself a place far below that which belongs to the son, (p. 52). ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Spiritual Journey quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
Men and women whose outlook on life is conditioned by the Dow are shrewder on the street than are the disciples on their spiritual journey. ~ Brennan Manning
Spiritual Journey quotes by Brennan Manning
About once a week I think about going and living in a cave and meditating instead. I think that would be a more peaceful life, where my spiritual journey was not interrupted by egomania so regularly. ~ Simon Amstell
Spiritual Journey quotes by Simon Amstell
Nothing changes everything. ~ Jonathan Marcus
Spiritual Journey quotes by Jonathan  Marcus
All journeys meet crossroads. Where the river ends, the ocean begins. We must have the courage to embark on these journeys, to choose our paths, and to let go of the boat once we are across the river. ~ Thomas Lloyd Qualls
Spiritual Journey quotes by Thomas Lloyd Qualls
I desire to establish a profound state of peacefulness, an imperturbable stillness of mind, an unconditioned mode of being that is free from mind contaminants of negative thoughts. I pray to undertake a productive emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey seeking the highest level of personal realization that defines wholeness and finality. In stillness, a state of mental quietude, we enter the worldly womb of creativity. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Spiritual Journey quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
A sincere seeker knows what his goal is: the highest Truth. He will not delay his journey. In spiritual life, we aspire for the highest Truth, for God, nothing else. ~ Sri Chinmoy
Spiritual Journey quotes by Sri Chinmoy
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. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marianne Williamson
We don't know all the reasons that propel us on a spiritual journey, but somehow our life compels us to go. ~ Jack Kornfield
Spiritual Journey quotes by Jack Kornfield
I am alone and my spiritual journey is my experience.' This is the real experience of freedom and independence. Then we begin to see that being alone is a very beautiful thing. Nobody is obstructing our vision. We have complete panoramic vision. ~ Chogyam Trungpa
Spiritual Journey quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there. ~ Billy Corgan
Spiritual Journey quotes by Billy Corgan
EMBARKING on the spiritual journey is like getting into a very small boat and setting out on the ocean to search for unknown lands. With wholehearted practice comes inspiration, but sooner or later we will also encounter fear. ~ Pema Chodron
Spiritual Journey quotes by Pema Chodron
My sangha, what I seem to attract, are people who have been practicing a long time, they're teaching, they're more serious about their spiritual journey. ~ Beryl Bender Birch
Spiritual Journey quotes by Beryl Bender Birch
Shortly after I started hitting some notable milestones on my Spiritual journey, I went into a thrift store that benefits veterans, My eyes were quickly drawn to a dusty and tattered image of Christ laying mixed in with some other things on a shelf. I picked it up, And on it was written these words:

"If you accept it...
I would give you the gift of seeing yourself as I see you..."

The truth and love of that image and simple words stopped me in my tracks and opened my heart. Since then I have received a wonderful gift, to know myself as an Eternal Spiritual Being, a Child of our Loving Father in Heaven.

...And no I didn't buy it, I received the message loud and clear, So I left it there, in hopes that the image and words would speak to someone else's Soul in the same way they had spoken to mine. ~ Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Spiritual Journey quotes by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
I am beginning now to see how radically the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it as difficult as possible for me to find him, but instead as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding ... ~ Henri Nouwen
Spiritual Journey quotes by Henri Nouwen
It is pointless to embark on any journey if you do not believe yourself worthy of the destination. ~ Anthon St. Maarten
Spiritual Journey quotes by Anthon St. Maarten
Traveling further ingrained my desire to connect to a place other than an island that is slightly older, in a New World way, than the United States, especially after I found characteristics of my face in the faces of the people in my global community. ~ Raquel Cepeda
Spiritual Journey quotes by Raquel Cepeda
when people ask me what I believe now, I don't want to weigh them down with "I'm a Unitarian Universalist Neo-Pagan scientific pantheist humanist who practices Buddhist insight meditation (Vipassana)," even though that's the truth. Sometimes, however, I have the personal need to privately unpack these labels which usually blend seamlessly in my daily life in order to get a better sense of who I am and where I'm going on this spiritual journey. ~ John Halstead
Spiritual Journey quotes by John Halstead
Our journey on the path is personal and well lit with the Savior's love. ~ Rosemary M. Wixom
Spiritual Journey quotes by Rosemary M. Wixom
When we don't get what we want, there's a legitimate grieving, and then the spiritual journey truly begins, because not getting what we want breaks our self-reference; and once that is broken, we are aware that we are a part of a larger whole. It changes everything. ~ Mark Nepo
Spiritual Journey quotes by Mark Nepo
humor is a spiritual journey to see the world in a unique, amusing way. ~ Ed Toolis
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ed Toolis
Your Soul is your ultimate guidance system. You can think of your Soul as the compass, map, and destination all in one. ~ Aletheia Luna
Spiritual Journey quotes by Aletheia Luna
We may be grown-up biologically, but in terms of a spiritual journey, we are children. When you were a child, you probably felt much more grown up with each year that passed. But with hindsight, it is easy to see that at each age we were still immature in ways that we did not suspect. The same thing with our spiritual maturity: it is a lifetime-project! ~ Dana Williams
Spiritual Journey quotes by Dana Williams
To stay in one place and watch the seasons come and go is tanatmount to constant travel: One is traveling with the earth. ~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marguerite Yourcenar
From a historical perspective, the spiritual journey is always tragic, for it is a lonely path fit for individuals rather than for entire societies. Human cooperation requires firm answers rather than just questions, and those who foam against stultified religious structures end up forging new structures in their place. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Spiritual Journey quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
The toughest journey is a spiritual journey. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Spiritual Journey quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. ~ Marcel Proust
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marcel Proust
Life gives you exactly what you need to awaken. ~ T. Scott McLeod
Spiritual Journey quotes by T. Scott McLeod
Art and life really are the same, and both can only be about a spiritual journey, a path towards a re-union with a supreme creator, with god, with the divine; and this is true no matter how unlikely, how strange, how unorthodox, one's particular life path might appear to one's self or others at any given moment. ~ Genesis P-Orridge
Spiritual Journey quotes by Genesis P-Orridge
For new atheists, the science is settled, the data is conclusive and the book (no, not the "Good Book") has been written. Time for everyone else to pack up and move on to other business, like, presumably, accumulating wealth and fulminating at the sight of the nearest Christmas tree. The militant atheist wants nothing more than to spoil the believer's spiritual journey. That's both mean-spirited and radically unenlightened. Though more than 95% of the world finds some meaning in faith, God-hating comic Bill Maher shrugs this off as a "neurological disorder." His version of a quest for knowledge was a series of scathing jokes at the faithfuls' expense in the documentary "Religulous." The latest incarnation of the thought-eschewing secularist is American Atheists spokesman Dave Silverman, who sums up the argument this way on atheistnexus.org: "Religion is my bitch." He has also tweeted, "Yes it is a myth. Deal with it. All delusions are myths." It's these snarky and condescending rejections, not of faith itself but of those who profess it, that reflect a total unwillingness to learn something new about human nature, the world around us and even of science itself. While the neo-atheists pay only cursory attention to dismantling arguments for God, they spend most of their time painting his followers as uncultured rubes. The fact that religion has inexplicably persisted, even despite Copernicus, Darwin and the Enlightenment, doesn't seem to have much sociological meaning for them. ~ S.E. Cupp
Spiritual Journey quotes by S.E. Cupp
My spiritual journey has been a good kind of thing I've been on. I guess some people would say I'm obsessed with it, but in a really good way. It's just enjoyable. I don't really have crazy obsessions about things. ~ Jim Carrey
Spiritual Journey quotes by Jim Carrey
I stood at a crossroads and fate came to meet me. ~ Liz Greene
Spiritual Journey quotes by Liz Greene
Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other's experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination. ~ A.R. Rahman
Spiritual Journey quotes by A.R. Rahman
The basic process of climbing a mountain was therapeutic, almost cathartic. There was the simple act of walking into the woods and away from the world. Then there was the climb itself, where the body worked: muscles flexed and released, lungs rose and fell, the heart beat. It was as if the complications in my life were breaking down and the only thing I cared about was the next place I'd put my foot or finding something to hold to pull myself up. After all that work to get to the summit came that views from the top. The failed Catholic in me saw it as a spiritual journey, much like the ones any holy man had made in leaving behind society. Christ, Buddha, Muhammad - they all did it, and they came back with clarity. For me the climb was my confession, working out the troubles of my past. Sitting on top was communion. On each hike I allowed myself to be pulled apart and then put back together again. ~ Tom Ryan
Spiritual Journey quotes by Tom Ryan
An examined life, an enigmatic investigation of reality, is required in order for a person to realize a transcendent spiritual journey. A contemplative soul is bound to live life more intensely than someone whom is concerned exclusively with living an external existence. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Spiritual Journey quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Do not rely on the outer world as your measuring stick for your own spiritual growth. Rely on your response to the outer world to determine how much you have grown. ~ Bashar
Spiritual Journey quotes by Bashar
No matter what stage we are at in our spiritual journey, whether we are beginners or have been traveling a spiritual path for years or decades; and no matter how awakened or asleep we are, there is always absolute truthfulness - the oneness and nothingness - which is our true nature. Our true nature doesn't need any explanation or demonstration to know itself. It just knows because knowing is part of its nature. This true nature resides in everyone. This is the meaning of the statement that everyone is already enlightened. ~ Ilchi Lee
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ilchi Lee
Although I am a committed Catholic priest, and nowhere hide that fact, my focus is very much a spiritual journey. ~ Henri Nouwen
Spiritual Journey quotes by Henri Nouwen
God is all that exists. Every stone, flower, tree, animal and human being are on a spiritual journey to recognize their true self, their divine essence. ~ Swami Dhyan Giten
Spiritual Journey quotes by Swami Dhyan Giten
More than anything, this place feels familiar. I bury my hands in the hot sand and think about the embodiment of memory or, more specifically, our natural ability to carry the past in our bodies and minds. Individually, every grain of sand brushing against my hands represents a story, an experience, and a block for me to build upon for the next generation. I quietly thank this ancestor of mine for surviving the trip so that I could one day return. ~ Raquel Cepeda
Spiritual Journey quotes by Raquel Cepeda
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. ~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
Spiritual Journey quotes by Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
LIKE A GREAT WATERWHEEL, THE LITURGICAL YEAR goes on relentlessly irrigating our souls, softening the ground of our hearts, nourishing the soil of our lives until the seed of the Word of God itself begins to grow in us, comes to fruit in us, ripens in us the spiritual journey of a lifetime. ~ Joan D. Chittister
Spiritual Journey quotes by Joan D. Chittister

Spiritual Journey quotes by Laura M. Brotherson
The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everybody should follow any one path. Listen to your own truth. ~ Ram Dass
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ram Dass
The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marianne Williamson
Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love. ~ Rumi
Spiritual Journey quotes by Rumi
Personal growth can be painful, because it can make us feel ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But our spiritual goal is the journey out of fear-based, painful mental habit patterns, to those of love and peace. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marianne Williamson
I loved Enso Roshi's teachings. I loved learning about life. I loved life. It was a good thing to feel. I loved life, and I loved learning, and I was still learning. I was not, yet, done. At the end of our journeys, there would be an end to the journey. Maybe. If I was lucky. If providence shone down upon me gently. I would find love. I would find acceptance. Complete love. Complete acceptance. I would know, that the self, is an illusion. I would come to enlightenment, but that would also mean, there would be no 'I' there. I would realize that the 'I' was an illusion, all along, just like some great dream. This is what the wise sages say, the great teachings, the mystical teachings, not only from the East, but also from the West. The Gospel of Saint Thomas. Thomas Merton. Thomas, like I was Thomas, and also doubting, the main reasons I'd chosen the name. If nothing else, it was lovable, just as it is. My life. Even the parts I didn't love, could I love them? The struggles. It was all part of the journey, and would I not look back fondly on this, at some time? Look at how arduous and sincere I'd been. Look at how worried I'd been. Look at how insecure I'd been. Look at how I'd struggled. Trying to find my way. Would I not look back upon myself, affectionately and fondly and with love? ~ T. Scott McLeod
Spiritual Journey quotes by T. Scott McLeod
Service of self is best developed in dealings of service to others. ~ Tyler J. Hebert
Spiritual Journey quotes by Tyler J. Hebert
This thing I am feeling, I'm almost certain, is the closest I'll ever come to standing somewhere in between truth and reconciliation. ~ Raquel Cepeda
Spiritual Journey quotes by Raquel Cepeda
I have an increasing sense that the most important crisis of our time is spiritual and that we need places where people can grow stronger in the spirit and be able to integrate the emotional struggles in their spiritual journeys. ~ Henri Nouwen
Spiritual Journey quotes by Henri Nouwen
This is the pathless path - returning to where you were initially before you got lost. The deepest truth in you is where the journey leads - shedding, like taking off layers of an onion, until you come to your essence. The key to the spiritual journey is not acquiring something outside of yourself. Rather it is shedding the veils to come back to the deepest truth of your being. ~ Ram Dass
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ram Dass
The theater is the 'church' and when I'm on that stage I am the Priest/Pastor, it is a pure spiritual journey for me. ~ Richard Cabral
Spiritual Journey quotes by Richard Cabral
The bottom line of the Gospel is that most of us have to hit some kind of bottom before we even start the real spiritual journey. ~ Richard Rohr
Spiritual Journey quotes by Richard Rohr
Who knew that parenting would become an almost spiritual journey? And what a journey it is. Sometimes I wish I had known all of this before I became a parent. Yet, we only know what we know. So I think of how I've grown up alongside my children - that they see me trying and geting it wrong and trying again ad getting a bit better, constantly learning and growing. ~ Simone Davies
Spiritual Journey quotes by Simone Davies
The movie, (X-Men: Days of Future Past), illustrates a spiritual journey that involves going back in time. The Purpose of the journey is to find the core grievance and let it be healed. When the grievance is healed in Forgiveness, all future scenarios of conflict and destruction are also healed. It is not that they have been prevented in time; it is that we have come to the realization that there was no time in which they could have existed. In the Happy Dream, everything is resolved. It becomes harmonious and then disappears.
Wolverine is the agent strong enough to go back through time and ignite the mission of forgiveness. We can think of ourselves this way as well. We can imagine that our future self, or our higher Self, is orchestrating this whole thing for our awakening. We are just perceiving it in time, where we perceive ourselves to be. There is great love and compassion coming from the higher Self, the future self. ~ David Hoffmeister
Spiritual Journey quotes by David Hoffmeister
In the search for understanding and awakening we are drawn to those teachings that convey the deepest wisdom with the greatest beauty. ~ Frances E. Vaughan
Spiritual Journey quotes by Frances E. Vaughan
As you allow the beloved to grow within you, you will discover a steadfastness to the spiritual journey. ~ Jean Houston
Spiritual Journey quotes by Jean Houston
I don't know where I'm going on this path. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. You had to be lost, before you could be found. These are the truths. You had to be confused, before you could find clarity; you had to suffer, before you could find peace. These were the only ways, life could happen. Of course you were confused before you found clarity. If you weren't confused, then you would already be clear. Of course you were lost before you were found. If you were already found, then you wouldn't be lost. Of course there would be suffering before peace. If there was already peace, then there wouldn't be suffering. One necessarily came before the other. ~ T. Scott McLeod
Spiritual Journey quotes by T. Scott McLeod
The spiritual journey is an adventure of exploration that gradually starts to open up before us when we are ready to begin asking the questions, "Who am I? and "Who are you? ~ Mac MacKenzie
Spiritual Journey quotes by Mac MacKenzie
God doesn't need to be explained, He needs to be lauded. He needs to be proclaimed and worshipped. He needs people who are going to should out who he really is, and what He's really like. What we think about God is the single most important thing in our spiritual journey. Our image of God will drive every single part of our life and declare how we show up in the world. If we don't live a life of faith, boldness and conviction we need to examine our perception of God. We must take time to upgrade our image of God. ~ Graham Cooke
Spiritual Journey quotes by Graham Cooke
When we open the Bible and read it, we are eavesdropping on an ancient spiritual journey. ~ Peter Enns
Spiritual Journey quotes by Peter Enns
Suffering is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of humanity. Even though none of us really ever welcomes it ... having had enough of it in your life, will cause you to surrender and control your thoughts. It will usually lead you through the doors of spiritual journey in your life. Once you go through these doors of enlightenment ... you will never be the same. ~ Timothy Pina
Spiritual Journey quotes by Timothy Pina
It is the rub that polishes the jewel," Enso Roshi says. "Nobody ever gets to nirvana without going through samsara. Nobody ever gets to heaven, without going through hell. The center of all things, the truth, is surrounded by demons. ~ T. Scott McLeod
Spiritual Journey quotes by T. Scott McLeod
I mean, I went to a church school when I was younger and imbibed a certain amount of religion then but it was really in university that I got interested in religion and politics at the same time. I don't think as if it were one moment of conversion but my spiritual journey really began then. ~ Tony Blair
Spiritual Journey quotes by Tony Blair
Spirituality is the sacred center out of which all life comes, including Mondays and Tuesdays and rainy Saturday afternoons in all their mundane and glorious detail ... The spiritual journey is the soul's life commingling with ordinary life. ~ Christina Baldwin
Spiritual Journey quotes by Christina Baldwin
Sex is the alpha and enlightenment is the omega. Sex is the first step of the spiritual journey, and enlightenment is the last step of the spiritual journey. ~ Swami Dhyan Giten
Spiritual Journey quotes by Swami Dhyan Giten
Due to this dualist legacy, every journey on which we doubt the conventions and deals of the mundane world and walk towards an unknown destination is called 'a spiritual journey'.
Such journeys are fundamentally different from religions, because religions seek to cement the worldly order whereas spirituality seeks to escape it. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Spiritual Journey quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
The true spiritual journey is stronger than the reasons that lead us to it. ~ Paulo Coelho
Spiritual Journey quotes by Paulo Coelho
It has taken me much of my life to begin to get to the second gaze. By nature I have a critical mind and a demanding heart, and I am so impatient. These are both my gifts and my curses, as you might expect. Yet I cannot have one without the other, it seems. I cannot risk losing touch with either my angels or my demons. They are both good teachers.

I am convinced that guilt and shame are never from God. They are merely the defenses of the False Self as it is shocked at its own poverty - the defenses of a little man who wants to be a big man. God leads by compassion toward the soul, never by condemnation. If God would relate to us by severity and punitiveness, God would only be giving us permission to do the same (which is tragically, due to our mistaken images of God, exactly what has happened!).

God offers us, instead, the grace to "weep" over our sins more than to ever perfectly overcome them, to humbly recognize our littleness. (St. Thérèse of Lisieux brought this Gospel message home in our time.) The spiritual journey is a kind of weeping and a kind of wandering that keeps us both askew and thus awake at the same time. Thérèse called it her "little way."

So now in my later life, contemplation and compassion are finally coming together. This is my second gaze. It is well worth waiting for, because only the second gaze sees fully and truthfully. It sees itself, the other, and even God with God's own eyes, which are always eyes of compassio ~ Richard Rohr
Spiritual Journey quotes by Richard Rohr
In my spiritual and academic journeys, I have learned that it is imperative for Christians to pursue truth at all costs. ~ Daniel B. Wallace
Spiritual Journey quotes by Daniel B. Wallace
A deep, wise, and wonderful exploration of the Vedanta path for relationships both with yourself and with others. In this book, Shubhraji provides everything you need to create healthy, fulfilling relationships, using ancient wisdom, beautiful stories, tools, and exercises. This book is a must read for those on a serious spiritual journey. ~ Arielle Ford
Spiritual Journey quotes by Arielle Ford
- Your hand is small, yet it can completely cover the power, light and majesty of the great sun. In the same way, the small problems manage to give you the excuse you need in order to hinder your progress along your spiritual journey. ~ Paulo Coelho
Spiritual Journey quotes by Paulo Coelho
Over the years, many people on a spiritual journey have asked me why I keep going on about politics, and many people involved in politics have asked me why I keep going on about spirituality. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marianne Williamson
This is my spiritual journey through life, my way of making sense of the world. I don't need permission from anyone or accolades from anyone; it is completely internal. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Spiritual Journey quotes by R.A. Salvatore
The way of peace is a soul journey ... If you can live from the level of your soul, you are doing something very special. The important thing is how much consciousness you add to the whole of human existence, for that is how eternity expresses itself, like a lamp shining through the window of eternity. ~ Deepak Chopra
Spiritual Journey quotes by Deepak Chopra
What can my enemies do to me?
I have in my breast both my Heaven and my Garden.
If I travel they are with me, and they never leave me.
Imprisonment for me is a religious retreat [khalwa].
To be slain for me is martyrdom [shahada]
And to be exiled from my land is a spiritual journey [siyaha]. ~ Ibn Taymiyyah
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ibn Taymiyyah
Living a spiritual life may not be easy. It demands total authenticity. It brings you to dance to a unique song that only you can hear fully, and sometimes you dance alone because no others can hear the music. ~ Debra Moffitt
Spiritual Journey quotes by Debra Moffitt
The spiritual journey, the path of recovery and personal growth, is a detoxification process in which we bring up and out the negative beliefs we have carried with us from the past and that now poison the present. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Marianne Williamson
Most of us have developed a fairly extensive vocabulary for describing pain, as though the journal were a doctor requiring much detail to make the correct diagnosis. The roundness of the spiritual journey cannot be expressed without developing an equally extensive vocabulary for talking to ourselves and others about the nature of wonder, joy, ecstasy, love, transfiguration. ~ Christina Baldwin
Spiritual Journey quotes by Christina Baldwin
I think the question is, how do we live with change? Change in our friends, change in our lovers? Change in me and change in my body, from the stroke. Things have changed this plane of consciousness. We've tried to keep things the same. It causes suffering. This suffering is another step in your spiritual life, in your spiritual journey. ~ Ram Dass
Spiritual Journey quotes by Ram Dass
If spirituality means seeking ['Self'-Realization], why do I need a Guru?' Let's say, all that you're seeking is to go to Kedarnath right now. Somebody is driving; the roads are laid out. If you came alone and there were no proper directions, definitely you would have wished, "I wish there was a map to tell me how to get there." On one level, a Guru is just a map. He's a live map. If you can read the map, you know the way, you can go. A Guru can also be your bus driver. You sit here and doze and he will take you to Kedarnath; but to sit in this bus and doze off, or to sit in this bus joyfully, you need to trust the bus driver. If every moment, with every curve in this road, you go on thinking, "Will this man kill me? Will this man go off the road? What intention does he have for my life?" then you will only go mad sitting here. We're talking about trust, not because a Guru needs your trust, it's just that if there's no trust you will drive yourself mad.

This is not just for sitting on a bus or going on a spiritual journey. To live on this planet, you need trust. Right now, you trust unconsciously. You're sitting on this bus, which is just a bundle of nuts and bolts and pieces of metal. Look at the way you're going through the mountains. Unknowingly, you trust this vehicle so much. Isn't it so? You have placed your life in the hands of this mechanical mess, which is just nuts and bolts, rubbers and wires, this and that. You have placed your life in it, but you trust ~ Sadhguru
Spiritual Journey quotes by Sadhguru
Let one who seeks not stop seeking until that person finds. ~ T. Scott McLeod
Spiritual Journey quotes by T. Scott McLeod
The spiritual journey is one that we must take "alone together," in the same way that a good marriage involves a dance between solitude and communion. The life of the spirit entails a continuous alternation between retreating into oneself and going out into the world: it's an inward-outward journey. There is a solitary part to it, but that solitude helps us to develop richer and more in-depth relationships with our friends, our children, our community, and the political world. ~ Sam Keen
Spiritual Journey quotes by Sam Keen
There comes a time in the spiritual journey when you start making choices from a very different place. And if a choice lines up so that it supports truth, health, happiness, wisdom and love, it's the right choice. ~ Angeles Arrien
Spiritual Journey quotes by Angeles Arrien
St. Teresa of Avila wrote: 'All difficulties in prayer can be traced to one cause: praying as if God were absent.' This is the conviction that we bring with us from early childhood and apply to everyday life and to our lives in general. It gets stronger as we grow up, unless we are touched by the Gospel and begin the spiritual journey. This journey is a process of dismantling the monumental illusion that God is distant or absent. ~ Thomas Keating
Spiritual Journey quotes by Thomas Keating
And God is always calling me to open myself to all kinds of people that I've never thought about before and also calling me on this inward spiritual journey. ~ Gene Robinson
Spiritual Journey quotes by Gene Robinson
Oh, hell, I can't go on a spiritual journey - I'm constipated. ~ Molly Ivins
Spiritual Journey quotes by Molly Ivins
In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity. ~ Radhanath Swami
Spiritual Journey quotes by Radhanath Swami
One thing I learned on my sporadic spiritual journey was that mainstream culture's disdain and disrespect for the intellectual integrity of Christianity is unwarranted, and its conceited assumption that Christian beliefs are a product of blind faith, bereft of reason and intellect, is completely false. ~ David Limbaugh
Spiritual Journey quotes by David Limbaugh
Consciousness is an ever-unfolding, deepening, and expanding process with no end point. We are infinite and complex beings, and our human journey involves not just a spiritual awakening, but the development of all levels of our being - spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical - and the integration of all these aspects into a healthy and balanced daily life. ~ Shakti Gawain
Spiritual Journey quotes by Shakti Gawain
It is important that spiritual advancement must keep pace with material advancement. When this comes to be realized man's journey toward higher and more lasting values will show more marked progress while the evil in him recedes into the background. Knowing that material and spiritual progress are essen- tial to man, we must ceaselessly work for the equal attainment of both. Only then shall we be able to acquire that absolute inner calm so necessary to our well-being. ~ Haile Selassie
Spiritual Journey quotes by Haile Selassie
Your spiritual journey and your spiritual welfare are really dependent on two primary factors: One, your ability to meditate and two, your ability to give of yourself. ~ Frederick Lenz
Spiritual Journey quotes by Frederick Lenz
For many people, the love or the loss of an animal often becomes a gateway into a deeper spiritual journey. The most pragmatic of men will begin to question the fundamental nature of being when he is visited by an apparition of his deceased cat or dog companion. ~ Elizabeth S. Eiler
Spiritual Journey quotes by Elizabeth S.  Eiler
Who are we without our addictions; without our media-induced hungers? So often the voices we hear echoing in our mind are not our own but that of our influencers. Isolation, while arguably going against human nature, is essential for mental and emotional health. Solitude is a detoxification of all that distorts our personality and misguides our path in life. It allows us to filter out the foreign opinions and hear our own voice - reach our authentic character - and practice fidelity to self. ~ L.M. Browning
Spiritual Journey quotes by L.M. Browning
The author charted the importance of human examples on his spiritual journey, confessing that when harsh and domineering people based their bullying on Christ's authority, he rebelled. But when his wife represented the gracefulness of Christ's character, he was drawn back to know Christ more fully. ~ Don Wilton
