Peter Jurasik Quotes

A lot of people have questioned how yoga and their own spiritual beliefs can come together. Yoga actually pre-dates religion.

I was raised as a Christian but the transaction has to be made by yourself - you and God - at some point.

The rules, religion to religion that man set forth, made me shy away from religion and have my own one on one with God and cut out the middleman.

I seek a deeper truth, but I don't think I have to go to a building designated for worship to find it.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

I've always been spiritual but I've never had a proper context, and it took me awhile to find the proper context. It's hard to realize you can have any kind of relationship with God you want... and so I now have a punk rock relationship with God.

My faith did not require beauty or belonging - the deeper I went into my practice, the less it required at all.

We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.

I'm a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, it's all a personal thing. I'm not someone who'll say, 'This is what I believe, and you should too!' It's more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.

And it took me, since I was 17 and left home, running from God, to now, as a 30-year-old man, when I honestly feel like I've come full circle and my heart's finally in the right place.

There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual,' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often, because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians, there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad.

'Faith and Will' is aimed at the same readership as 'The Artist's Way.' The book is for spiritual seekers in all walks of life.

Do not try to approach God with your thinking mind. It may only stimulate your intellectual ideas, activities, and beliefs. Try to approach God with your crying heart. It will awaken your soulful, spiritual consciousness.

I have never hid my spiritual roots. They just weren't something that came under the spotlight.

I respect religion in general. I respect a lot, but I don't follow any religion. You know, I just follow my personal connection with God. For me, God is inside my heart and is inside everyone's heart.

Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.

I'm not ashamed of my spiritual beliefs, but I in no way incorporate them into this band.

The spirituality that I experience sometimes touches on religion, in that I resonate with the thread of continuity that permeates through all religions. But in terms of it being a concretized, organized part of my life, it's not.

Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

A spiritual life is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. How do you live? What's true? How do you respond? It's not about living by beliefs; it's about wanting to know.

In the periods of my life when I've had least contact with the Church, I've always assumed a belief in God is a solid thing, but clearly it's a relationship; it has good days and bad days.
