― Elliot Wake, All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages

“I have said for many years
that the only real difference between a philosophy
and a religion
is one or more gods...

I am learning more and more--
as I did when studying eastern religions in my twenties--
how powerful prayer can be,
and I don't mean because one god answers anyone's prayers.

It is the place it puts us in.
Focus.
Reflection.
Vertical communication.
Surrender (to the powers that be
and those that may or may not be).
And so:
Hope.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Embrace YOU...Believe in yourself, in this very moment...forgive yourself for all mistakes and 'bad' decisions you may have made in the past. Do not allow others opinions or judgements of who you were yesterday or decades ago define who you are today. Each and every day opens new doors for miracles of healing to occur in our lives. Embrace these miracles, big or small, even those you may presently be unaware of. Live in this moment, for this is all we have. Give thanks to your Higher Power for all that you are, for the very breath that allows life, love, and abundance to flow to you and through you forever more. Live in the Light of All That IS.”
― Angie karan

“A critical attitude, like activity, is one of the fundamental characteristics of our time. Both are interdependent. If the critical attitude should dwindle, there would be more peace and less intelligence, to the benefit of the essential. Neither criticism nor activity, however, can steer the course in such a direction - this means that higher forces are involved.”
― Ernst Jünger, The Glass Bees

“Someone once said to me, 'There are so many religions in the world. They can't all be right.'

And my reply was, 'Well, they can't all be wrong either.'

All religions in the world today share more commonalities than differences, yet language blinds many from seeing these truths. Some people will tell me that what I write about is straight from their holy book, but the truth is that the main principles found in all holy books were already engraved in all our hearts. If you think common sense, the golden rule and knowing right from wrong are exclusive only to your faith, then you need to open yourself up to the rest of the world's religions.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

― James Lee Burke, Robicheaux

“Overcomers keep on moving, even where there is no way. They know that God will make a way. They focus on God’s power, even when facing a dark cloud. Because they surrender their own power, to a higher power.”
― Gift Gugu Mona, Daily Quotes about God: 365 Days of Heavenly Inspiration

― Robin S. Baker, Esotericism With an Unconventional Soul: Exploring Philosophy, Spirituality, Science, and Mysticism

“The Twelve Steps teach that the only way to be freed from addiction and restored to sanity is through total and constant reliance on a Higher Power. I guess this Higher Power is somehow supposed to replace drugs, pleasure, and whatever else we have placed at the epicenter of our existence and fill the gap that these things cannot. Since our Higher Power is independent from, separate from, and beyond us, a Higher Power can help us in ways we cannot help ourselves. If we cannot put our Higher Power at the center of our lives, then something else will be there, and it will not be so kind a ruler.”
― Michael J Heil

“For most of the year I wore no shoes. This Higher Power was my guide, but it seemed to be just as confused about the world as I was. Eventually, I realized that my Higher Power was an ethereal nothingness. It was a collection of lofty ideas that, although beautiful, were not capable of contradicting me, reshaping my paradigms, or defining reality for me. It was a god that appealed to my own sensibilities; it was as ever-changing and subjective as my own mind.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose
