Happy Easter…
“Make a ritual of pausing frequently to appreciate and be thankful. Bless the food that nourishes you. Bless whoever loves you in anyway. Bless the gifts and talents that call you to create. ” ~ Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God

“The spirit, like the wind, blows where it will. No spiritual technology produces grace. We can go through the motions of religion for a lifetime and still have a hard heart and a paranoid mind.” “Breath is the simplest vehicle of transcendence.” ~~ Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God

Discrimination is a learned belief not something that is inherent:
“Spiritual discrimination, like reason itself, grows out of dialogue.” – Sam Keen: Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life
Sam Keen’s latest book, In the Absence of God: Dwelling in the Presence of the Sacred, is a brilliant book that is a small thought provoking feast that I would recommend to anyone with questions about the meaning of life and evolution from the religious to the spiritual.

“Only I can discover my spirit and make myself free. 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
At a time when I was struggling to find myself and answers, Hymns to an Unknown God was there for me, providing inspiration, solace and plenty of food for thought.
