Every spiritual tradition has this idea of death and resurrection. It's not unique to Christianity.
For those who seek to understand it death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
My dad always said I was hard-headed that it would take something like that to wake me up spiritually and I guess it did. My heart had gotten so beat up that I didn't have anything left to give.
I haven't been baptised. My dad's not in the church and is not a religious person. My mum is more spiritual - she does Thai-chi and goes to Stonehenge and things like that. I'm proud to be pagan. Finland is not really a religious country. I'm still looking for my god.
Everyone focuses on the earthly state but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth and I can't wait to experience that.
The interest in the supernatural in a very generic sense and in the spiritual is not in itself a factor that helps the communication of the Christian faith.
Their spirituality was in nature even though Emerson was a preacher on the pulpit he ended up going out into nature for direct face-to-face communication with God if you want to call all of this creation part of God.
I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.
The experience of being in space didn't change my perspective of myself or of the planet or of life. I had no spiritual experience.
Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Business underlies everything in our national life including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and the material and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love.
Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.
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.
