“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

“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

“Being is the practice of gratitude and compassion. I am alive only in the degree that I am moved by the tidal rhythm of receiving and giving. I am a gossamer curtain hanging in a window separating time and eternity, blowing back and forth in the everlasting breeze.” ~~ Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God

“To understand that we are stanzas within a universal song gives us neccessary but not sufficient direction for our spiritual practice.” ~~ Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God
