QUOTES ON SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality is a broad concept, transcending religious boundaries. By virtue of being human, all people are spiritual, regardless of whether or how they participate in religious observance.

MARGARET A. BURKHARDT, Spirituality: Living Our Connectedness

What is common to all paths that are spiritual is, of course, the Spirit-breath, life energy, that is why all true paths are essentially one path, because there is only one Spirit, one breath, one life, one energy in the universe. It belongs to none of us and all of us. We all share it. Spiritually does not make up otherworldly; it renders us more fully alive.

MATTHEW FOX, Creation Spirituality

You can read books without ever stepping into a library; and practice spirituality without ever going to a temple.

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE, My Heart Laid Bare

ANTHONY DE MELLO, One Minute Wisdom

Spirituality is fearlessness. It is a way of looking boldly at this life we have been given, here, now, on earth, as this human being.

ELIZABETH LESSER, The New American Spirituality

Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavory as gross sensuality.

CARL JUNG, Marriage as a Psychological Relationship

Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life.

ELIZABETH LESSER, The New American Spirituality
