Quotes About Inward

The yogi tends to work inwardly, focusing on the body, whereas the magus directs the will outwardly upon the objects of the greater world. This apparent distinction is misleading, since inner world and outer world have no dividing boundary, but are an indivisible universe perceived by a single human mind. The ultimate goal is similar in both practices-to master the personal universe and yoke it to the higher aspirations.
~ Donald Tyson
The mind forgets the dark places in the heart. The heart hides a blemish in shame. The inward eye does not seek any festering. Between the deception of the three, a man thinks he is good.

How then does circumcision relate to baptism? Just as circumcision was a sign and seal of the Christ who was to come, so baptism is a sign and seal of the Christ who came. Circumcision looked forward in history, and Christian baptism looks back in history, but they both testify to the same Christ, the same Lord of the Covenant. Neither circumcision nor baptism primarily testifies concerning the inward state of the individual who bears the sign and seal; they testify of Christ.

Dependence on the pastor turns the church inward instead of keeping its focus on reaching out. Everyone knows that the addition of more people threatens this great relationship with the pastor and creates competition between parishioners for the pastor's time.
~ Jim Griffith
Magic is made not from outside but from inside. That was why people mentioned so much the need to have faith for things to happen, for after all, faith is nothing but a way to see the world that makes it possible for the things you wish to happen. Faith, therefore, is a knowledge.

To me it shall bring comfort, once to clear My heart on thee, and thou shalt wince to hear.

I discovered that everything you do is in response to a request or a suggestion made to you by some other party either inside you or outside.
