For as long as i can remember, my father saved. he saves money, he saves disfigured sticks that resemble disfigured celebrities, and most of all, he saves food. cherry tomatoes, sausage biscuits, the olives plucked from other people's martinis --he hides these things in strange places until they are rotten. and then he eats them.

Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both.

I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable. to be sure, theology is always yielding a little to the progress of knowledge, and only a holy roller in the mountains of tennessee would dare to preach today what the popes preached in the thirteenth century, but this yielding is always done grudgingly, and thus lingers a good while behind the event.

We tend to think of consecration only as yielding up, when divinely directed, our material possessions. but ultimate consecration is the yielding up of oneself to god. heart, soul, and mind were the encompassing words of christ in describing the first commandment, which is constantly, not periodically, operative (see matt. 22:37). if kept, then our performances will, in turn, be fully consecrated for the lasting welfare of our souls (see 2 ne. 32:9).

They [the founders] proclaimed to all the world the revolutionary doctrine of the divine rights of the common man. that doctrine has ever since been the heart of the american faith.

For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist; it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart - then no problem.

When folk have set before them a true purpose and then pursue it unmoved with bravery and courage, when they withstand with a strong heart every trial which heaven sends upon them, then one day at the last almighty providence will yet grant them the fruits of their struggle and of their sacrifices. for god has never abandoned any man upon this earth unless he has first abandoned himself.
