Sam Keen Quotes

The lover heals the world not by a vague and abstract love for everybody and everything, but by becoming passionate and vowing fidelity to concrete relationships, persons, institutions, and places Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can know what’s in your life when you know what’s in your heart Picture Quote #1

I suspect that we are all recipients of cosmic love notes. Messages, omens, voices, cries, revelations, and appeals are homogenized into each day’s events. If only we knew how to listen, to read the signs Picture Quote #1

To be on a quest is nothing more or less than to become an asker of questions Picture Quote #1

If we had a better understanding of the ways we think about enemies, we might be able to think of more rational ways of settling conflict Picture Quote #1

The first part of the spiritual journey should properly be called psychological rather than spiritual because it involves peeling away the myths and illusions that have misinformed us Picture Quote #1

What shapes our lives are the questions we ask, refuse to ask, or never think to ask Picture Quote #1

To love is to return to a home we never left, to remember who we are Picture Quote #1

In the degree that we remember and retell our stories and create new ones we become the authors, the authorities, of our own lives Picture Quote #1

A man must go on a quest / to discover the sacred fire / in the sanctuary of his own belly / to ignite the flame in his heart / to fuel the blaze in the hearth / to rekindle his ardor for the earth Picture Quote #1

Burnout is nature’s way of telling you, you’ve been going through the motions your soul has departed; you’re a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system Picture Quote #1

I try to steer away from high metaphysical belief because I think we humans do best when we realize that we don’t know all that much Picture Quote #1

Chronological time is what we measure by clocks and calendars; it is always linear, orderly, quantifiable, and mechanical. Kairotic time is organic, rhythmic, bodily, leisurely, and aperiodic; it is the inner cadence that brings fruit to ripeness, a woman to childbirth, a man to change the direction of his life Picture Quote #1

Each day befriend a single fear, and the miscellaneous terrors of being human will never join together to form such a morass of vague anxiety that it rules your life from the shadows of the unconscious. We learn to fly not by being fearless, but by the daily practice of courage Picture Quote #1

Neurotic identity crises come when our defense mechanisms have been too successful and we’re encapsulated in the fortress we have constructed with nothing to refresh us in our solitary confinement. So we play the old movies with their stale fears and their unrealistic hopes until we become bored enough to risk disarmament and engagement Picture Quote #1

Our minds, bodies, feelings, relationships are all informed by our questions. What you ask is who you are. What you find depends on what you search for. And what shapes our lives are the questions we ask, refuse to ask, or never think of asking Picture Quote #1

Enter each day with the expectation that the happenings of the day may contain a clandestine message addressed to you personally. Expect omens, epiphanies, casual blessings and teachers who unknowingly speak to your condition Picture Quote #1

Wise people are able to give themselves gracefully to seemingly contradictory experiences, because they know that they belong to different seasons of life, all of which are necessary to the whole. Spring and winter, growth and decay, creativity and fallowness, health and sickness, power and impotence, and life and death all belong within the economy of being Picture Quote #1
