Food For Thought: Morality

“Some people automatically associate morality and altruism with a religious vision of the world. But I believe it is a mistake to think that morality is an attribute only of religion. We can imagine two types of spirituality: one tied to religion, while the other arises spontaneously in the human heart as an expression of love for our neighbors and a desire to do them good.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

“It is good to stretch the imagination to its breaking point, to play with possibilities, to push the outer limits of the self. But to come down to the nitty-gritty of everyday life, the most important discipline of communion is the practice of simple kindness to strangers, civility to our neighbors, and justice to the wider community. ” ~~ Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God

“Once you have discovered your vocation, it is by no means certain that it will have anything to do with your occupation. A soulful occupation requires us to refrain from using our creativity in socially harmful ways. ” ~~ Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God

Food For Thought

“Experiment with reframing the way you  look at people and things. Change your eyes. Stop thinking in terms of profit and loss, useful and useless, functional and dysfunctional, and valuable and worthless, and play with the notion that we experience the fullest en-joy-ment of life only when we adopt a stance of adoration to things, other living beings, and persons. ”  ~~ Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God
