Kindle Notes & Highlights
The word “spirituality,” as the Oxford English Dictionary defines it, means “the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.”
“We must learn to live together, or most certainly we will soon all die together.”
Why serve others? To make ourselves feel better? For some personal benefit? Karmic rewards? No. Rather it is, with our eyes on a far bigger prize, to create a world filled with less suffering. To create justice, equity, love, and a reduction in unnecessary pain for the inhabitants of our beautiful planet.
For the year 2022, this Doomsday Clock was the closest it’s ever been to its metaphorical midnight: one hundred seconds away.
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come. —Rabindranath Tagore
Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the West can you rise in the East. —Rumi
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh and to be able to grow. —Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
