His spiritual life has been exaggerated by a chronic attack of mental gallstones. (Turlington Christy)
Ghost only exist for those who wish to see them. (Turlington Christy)
I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. There we go beyond those limited and limiting patterns of body, emotions, volition, and understanding that have been keeping us in dry-dock. Instead we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight. (Turlington Christy)
Every spirit makes its house, but as afterwards the house confines the spirit, you had better build well. (Turlington Christy)

The sensual and spiritual are linked together by a mysterious bond, sensed by our emotions, though hidden from our eyes. To this double nature of the visible and invisible world -- to the profound longing for the latter, coupled with the feeling of the sweet necessity for the former, we owe all sound and logical systems of philosophy, truly based on the immutable principles of our nature, just as from the same source arise the most senseless enthusiasms. (Turlington Christy)
Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light. (Turlington Christy)
Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world. (Turlington Christy)
He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again. (Turlington Christy)
Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma. (Turlington Christy)
Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavory as gross sensuality. (Turlington Christy)
There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls. (Turlington Christy)
Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself. (Turlington Christy)
The adept may reach one of those rare moments that spell illumination -- aware of the light of the consciousness that illumines our consciousness as the sun dawns on the sleeping earth and bathes it in effulgence. (Turlington Christy)
As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand. (Turlington Christy)
Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little. What matters is the reality that our hearts have been understood. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of magic which restores our spirits. (Turlington Christy)
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh. (Turlington Christy)
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh. (Turlington Christy)
Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veil of our spirits. (Turlington Christy)
At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. (Turlington Christy)
What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed? (Turlington Christy)
Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob. (Turlington Christy)
The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons. (Turlington Christy)
But the thing that I saw in your face no power can disinherit: No bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit. (Turlington Christy)
Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime. (Turlington Christy)
As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light came to me. (Turlington Christy)
