A Quote by Femi Kuti

Once the social and spiritual opening was created for women in the form of spiritualism, suddenly ambitious women who wanted to participate in the culture had a kind of a voice.
To be spiritual is not by praying and going to church. Spiritualism is the understanding of the universe so that it can be a better place to live in.
It is also amazing to find just how religious and occult-minded some of the leading political and military players of the war were, from von Moltke and Ludendorff to Brusilov and J F C Fuller. Each, in his way, was deeply involved in what we would today call the occult, spiritualism, and visionary religion.
When spiritualism dawned, suddenly women who wanted to engage in the civic and religious and political culture were becoming transmediums.
God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight.

Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.

I believe that the Hindu faith has developed the spiritual in its devotees at the expense of the material, and I think that in the Western world the contrary is true. By uniting the materialism of the West with the spiritualism of the East I believe much can be accomplished. It may be that in the attempt the Hindu faith will lose much of its individuality.
A comprehensive doctrine, either religious or secular, aspires to cover all of life. I mean, if it's a religious doctrine, it talks about our relation to God and the universe; it has an ordering of all the virtues, not only political virtues but moral virtues as well, including the virtues of private life, and the rest. Now we may feel philosophically that it doesn't really cover everything, but it aims to cover everything, and a secular doctrine does also.
I do believe in the viability of Indian spiritualism.

It's pretty clear in how things are moving in empirically supported treatments that we're going to be speaking to the culture in a different voice.
