Poetry for me is as much a spiritual practice as sexual ecstasy is.

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace let us mobilize the potentialities particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities which we usually reserve for war.

Religion brings to man an inner strength spiritual light and ineffable peace.

Assuming that man has a distinct spiritual nature a soul why should it be thought unnatural that under appropriate conditions of maladjustment his soul might die before his body does or that his soul might die without his knowing it?

Since the nature of people is bad to become corrected they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual and moral principles.

We are more than just flesh and bones. There's a certain spiritual nature and something of the mind that we can't measure. We can't find it. With all our sophisticated equipment we cannot monitor or define it and yet it's there.

Although I'm an atheist who believes only in great nature I recognize the spiritual richness and grandeur of the Roman Catholicism in which I was raised.

When I'm off the road my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature being in silence burning incense.

You don't have to call it God or Jesus. That's religious humbug to a lot of people but you've gotta believe that nature and spiritual things surround us. That is what put us here! I thank the universe for that every day of my life.

The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature and poetry and all that is spiritual.

Nature holds the key to our aesthetic intellectual cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

I'm concentrating on staying healthy having peace being happy remembering what is important taking in nature and animals spending time reading trying to understand the universe where science and the spiritual meet.

There is a muscular energy in sunlight corresponding to the spiritual energy of wind.

I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry laugh dance. If they climaxed spiritually I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.

I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.

Hip-Hop isn't just music it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity and that being able to join in musical activity along with dancing could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

Music is very spiritual it has the power to bring people together.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.
