InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
April 27, 2023
The focus for today is:
The deeper my joy,
the more deeply meaningful
my life becomes.
Fulfillment must finally be recognized in terms of enjoyment. If it is defined merely as material success, it soon becomes worthless to us.
More than anything else, what we want of life is escape from pain, and the attainment of joy. The deeper our joy, the more deeply meaningful our lives become also.
The duty with which we are charged by life itself is to find that "hidden treasure": infinite joy and bliss.

Out of the Labyrinth: For Those Who Want to Believe But Can't
by J. Donald Walters.
The last hundred years of scientific and philosophical thought have caused dramatic upheavals in how we view our universe, our spiritual beliefs, and ourselves. Increasingly, people are wondering if enduring spiritual and moral truths even exist. Out of the Labyrinth brings fresh insight and understanding to this difficult problem. J. Donald Walters demonstrates the genuine compatibility of scientific and religious values, and how science and our most cherished moral values actually enrich and reinforce one another.
