Recounting of a life story a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.

I have a much wider freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own personally. You know let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul or their God or with their church.

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray you begin to feel the sense of being sent that the divine compulsion is upon you.

Two thousand years ago we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.

Every time you don't follow your inner guidance you feel a loss of energy loss of power a sense of spiritual deadness.

We do not need more intellectual power we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen we need more of the things that are unseen.

I'm a very driven ambitious positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well. I believe in creative visualization. So for me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well I took to it like a duck to water.

Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe and everyone believes and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality it's just not something people want to hear about.

I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts - protecting them I thought from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics if not in my soul. The true me my spiritual core slipped further and further from reach.

I mean I went to a church school when I was younger and imbibed a certain amount of religion then but it was really in university that I got interested in religion and politics at the same time. I don't think as if it were one moment of conversion but my spiritual journey really began then.

Adherents of the new religious right reject the separation of politics and religion but they bring no spiritual insights to politics.

To rely upon conviction devotion and other excellent spiritual qualities that is not to be taken seriously in politics.

We are looking to brands for poetry and for spirituality because we're not getting those things from our communities or from each other.

Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre and installed instead as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise - nobody need read it but anybody can do it.

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?

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.
