“I have come to believe that “the quest” is a metaphor for the willingness to live and wrestle with the perennial questions that underlie the mythic answers that religion offers. My “question” is the “quest I’m on.” – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life

“Money is a means to an end. It is a servant and not a master. When I ask for money, I am asking for supply. It may come to me as money, but it also may come to me in other forms.

While I welcome and receive money as one form, I also welcome and receive supply in all forms it appears.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life
“If I explore the depths of my being, I will discover the heights of Being.” – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life

Only I can take the existential leap, make the decision that carries me beyond what I was yesterday (and what every expert would predict I would be tomorrow) and do a new thing. – Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life

Peppering his talk on promoting ethics and compassion, with his wonderful sense of humor, my first impression of His Holiness, was that he possesses a quality of pure happiness and joy, that I would liken to the happiness that is reflected in a small child. When we are young we are far more open and joyful than we are as adults, because we are not burdened and encumbered with the problems that age and responsibility set upon us. (more…)
