“It's in that convergence of spiritual people becoming active and active people becoming spiritual that the hope of humanity now rests.”

“Humanity becomes brighter with hope when people begin to awaken the spiritual part of themselves, with a heartfelt knowledge that we are all one in the spirit. None better...nor worse. But united in the spirit of humanity. Yet...when we hurt & destroy we grieve this same spirit. Become an agent of change for a better humanity today!”

“What is saving my life now is the conviction that there is no spiritual treasure to be found apart from the bodily experiences of human life on earth. My life depends on engaging the most ordinary physical activities with the most exquisite attention I can give them. My life depends on ignoring all touted distinctions between the secular and the sacred, the physical and the spiritual, the body and the soul. What is saving my life now is becoming more fully human, trusting that there is no way to God apart from real life in the real world.”

“Real people are actively trying to live like fake people, so real people are no less fake. Every comparison becomes impractical. This is why the impractical has become totally acceptable; impracticality almost seems cool.”

“I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as a superstition.... we have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains existing in a material world.”

“if we don’t rebel, if we’re not physically in an active rebellion, then it’s spiritual death.”
