Jacob Needleman Quotes

We lose our time because we lose our attention Picture Quote #1
The only really interesting questions are the unanswerable ones Picture Quote #1
What is [the role of money] in the search for meaning? Is our relationship to it one of the chief factors that keeps us in our prison, or could it also be a tool for breaking out, for awakening to a life filled with intensity of purpose? Picture Quote #1
Man must have results, real results, in his inner and outer life. I do not mean the results which modern people strive after in their attempts at self-development. These are not results, but only rearrangements of psychic material, a process the Buddhists call ‘samsara’ and which our Holy Bible calls ‘dust’ Picture Quote #1
Why has time disappeared in our culture? How is it that after decades of inventions and new technologies devoted to saving time and labor, the result is that there is no time left? We are a time-poor society; we are temporally impoverished. And there is no issue, no aspect of human life, that exceeds this in importance. The destruction of time is literally the destruction of life Picture Quote #1
We are human beings, beings whose fundamental food is the experience of truth Picture Quote #1

To be totally engaged with all my functions and all my faculties and all my capacities in life to me that would be success Picture Quote #1
Faith cannot be shaken, it is the result of being shaken Picture Quote #1
To love my neighbor is to assist the arising and unfolding in him of that which can harmonize the real elements of his nature Picture Quote #1
Our world, so we see and hear on all sides, is drowning in materialism, commercialism, consumerism. But the problem is not really there. What we ordinarily speak of as materialism is a result, not a cause. The root of materialism is a poverty of ideas about the inner and the outer world. Less and less does our contemporary culture have, or even seek, commerce with great ideas, and it is that lack that is weakening the human spirit. This is the essence of materialism. Materialism is a disease of the mind starved for ideas Picture Quote #1
We are born for meaning, not pleasure, unless it is pleasure that is steeped in meaning Picture Quote #1
Money is like a mirror to our culture. What we see tells us who we are Picture Quote #1

What is it that makes all of us end each day with the sense that we have not lived our time, but have been lived, used by what we do? Picture Quote #1
If the group is an art form of the future, then convening groups is an artistry we must cultivate to fully harvest the promise of the future Picture Quote #1
Life is not so much defined by the external situation as it is by the internal one Picture Quote #1
If one steps out on a starry night and observes one’s inner state, one asks if one could hate or be overwhelmed by envy or resentment.... Is it not true that no man or woman has ever committed a crime while in a state of wonder? Picture Quote #1
