Soul Boosters

“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.”

Translated from a Chinese proverb.

“There seems to be a huge area of the brain that is devoted to having just such experiences [death-related visions]. Just as we have a region of our brain devoted to speech and one that helps us regain our balance when we trip and almost fall, we have an area that is devoted to communication with the mystical. It functions as a sort of sixth sense. In short it is the “God sensor.”"
- Morse, M. and Perry, P. (1990). Closer to the Light: Learning from the Near-Death Experiences of Children. Cited in Mary Anne Sanders’s “Nearing Death Awareness: A Guide to the Language, Visions, and Dreams of the Dying”.

“The soul was never put in the body to stand still.”

—John Webster, dramatist

“Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day,
saying … “I will try again tomorrow.” ”

- Mary Anne Radmacher

“You need to be aware of what others are doing,
applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes,
and encourage them in their pursuits.
When we all help one another, everybody wins.”

— Jim Stovall; author, speaker
