Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul QUOTES

1 " It matters, it matters very much, what each of us chooses to do. The journey toward self-discovery and self-knowledge is not only life's highest adventure, but also the only way to transform society from one based on self-centeredness and compulsory compassion to one based on service and mutual responsibility. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

2 " I can change nearly everything about myself. I can run from my children and trade in my spouse, move to another country and raise green rabbits for a living, but unless I care for my soul, I will not have changed who I am. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

3 " To really find God is to search for him not only in ourselves, not only in our loved ones, not only in our neighbors, not only in the strangers that we encounter, but ultimately in our enemies as well. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

4 " It is the Fourth Instinct (the spirit - RJ) that urges us to exceed ourselves ... by awakening our intuitive selves, and striving to be all that we were intended to be. It takes us beyond self-centeredness and enables us to resist the combined forces of indifference and meaninglessness. It awakens us to a sense of responsibility for those most in need of our society as well as for that world that future generations will inherit. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

5 " Everything is connected to everything else: every rock, every living form, is infused by the same force. To say this is to put the lie to a million false dualities, to all the forced seperations between spirit and mind, soul and body, God and man. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

6 " To speak about this universal force that will lead us beyond on the last horizon of our known self toward a wiser, more loving, more luminous states of being, we do not need to invent a new language. But we do need to listen to the old, the ancient one, not with our jaded minds, but with our awakened souls. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

7 " Pessimism is a denial of the reality of God and the power man draws from being connected to it. "

8 " Lasting social change unfolds from inside out: from the inner to the outer being, from inner to outer realities. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

10 " Moving ourselves to the background and others to the foreground is evidence that the (spiritual) search is achieving its purpose. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

11 " It's a longing, an aching to complete ourselves, to unite with that which makes us whole. We are longing for God the way a soldier longs for his wife faraway. It a relentless homesickness that, however desperately we try, will accept no substitutes. "

― Arianna Huffington , Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul

12 " Use it or lose it" is a law of nature, but mercifully "not a soul will be lost" is a law of the spirit that supersedes it. "

13 " Worry is a form of atheism. And so is most fear. "
