Finding a sanctuary is as vital as finding nourishment in order to actually live instead of merely survive. Nature can be that sanctuary. We should be careful not to let modern life close us off completely from nature. #Humanism #Philosophy #JohnMuir #HumanismChurch

The background is a photo deep in a dark green forest with tall trees and bright rays of sunshine spreading through the canopy of leaves. In the center of the photo is a semi-transparent square. The quote inside is “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.” It is attributed to John Muir. In the bottom left of the square is the Humanism Church logo and in the bottom right is the URL humanism.church.

One of the most powerful creations of humans, symbols express meaning that is beyond words and communication. These symbols' ability to represent concepts give them a power beyond any one creator's vision. #Humanism #Philosophy #vonGoethe #HumanismChurch

The background is a photograph of a flooded cave. The light white and orange rocks are reflected in the still blue waters below them. In the center of the image is a semi-transparent square with a quote inside. The quote reads: “That is true symbolism, where the more particular represents the more general, not as a dream or shade, but as a vivid, instantaneous revelation of the inscrutable.” It is attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The full benefits of wonder, like friendship, are only felt when we are open to receiving them and experiencing the sensation without reservation or preconception. #Humanism #Philosophy #RonaldHepburn #HumanismChurch

The background is a photograph of wildflowers in an alpine meadow, a cloudy blue sky is overhead and snow tipped mountains are in the background. In the middle of the image is a square with a quote that reads: “I give myself to wonder in ways not too fancifully analogous to how I give myself in a friendship, entrusting myself to another in an open and therefore vulnerable way.” Attributed to Ronald Hepburn. In the bottom left corner of the square is the Humanism Church logo and the bottom right has the web address humanism.church

Meditation calls to us to open our minds and examine our world and our thoughts without preconceptions or rushing to judgement. We can explore concepts and thoughts to astounding depths if we retreat from our usual patterns. #Humanism #Philosophy #Heidegger #HumanismChurch

The background is a verdant photo of a japanese garden with a moss covered stone lantern beside a still pond, and an orange carp swimming below the surface. The quote is positioned in a square in the middle of the image. It says “Meditative thinking demands of us not to cling one-sidedly to a single idea, nor to run down a one-track course of ideas. Meditative thinking demands of us that we engage ourselves with what at first sight does not go together at all.” It is attributed to Martin Heidegger. At the bottom of the square to the left is the humanism church logo, and to the right is the web address humanism.church.

Symbols' meanings are conveyed not only through what they include, but sometimes what they exclude. Taken together they form a more profound meaning. #Humanism #Philosophy #ThomasCarlyle #HumanismChurch

The background is a photograph of a flooded cave. The light white and orange rocks are reflected in the still blue waters below them. In the center of the image is a semi-transparent square with a quote inside. The quote reads: “In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance.” It is attributed to Thomas Carlyle.

Doubt is a useful tool for inquiries, but we should not neglect the wonder of the universe simply because we also doubt our preconceptions. #Humanism #Philosophy #HannahArendt #HumanismChurch

The background is a photograph of wildflowers in an alpine meadow, a cloudy blue sky is overhead and snow tipped mountains are in the background. In the middle of the image is a square with a quote that reads: “In modern philosophy and thought, doubt occupies much the same central position as that occupied for all the centuries before by the Greek thaumazein, the wonder at everything that is as it is.” Attributed to Hannah Arendt.

A life without contemplation will feel devoid of purpose just like a life without action will feel futile. We are urged to be active, but must urge ourselves to contemplate. #Humanism #Philosophy #ByungChulHan #HumanismChurch

The background is a verdant photo of a japanese garden with a moss covered stone lantern beside a still pond, and an orange carp swimming below the surface. The quote is positioned in a square in the middle of the image.

At the bottom of the square to the left is the humanism church logo, and to the right is the web address humanism.church.

After our discourses and arguments are finished and all is said, it is in silence that the veracity of them is fully realized. #Humanism #Philosophy #MaxPicard #HumanismChurch

Background is a photo of a forest covered in fresh snow with the sun shining through the trees casting long shadows. The text is centered in a transparent square. The text reads: “When two people are conversing with one another, however, a third is always present: Silence is listening. ... At the end of the Platonic dialogues it is always as though silence itself were speaking. The persons who were speaking seem to have become listeners to silence.” The quote is attributed to Max Picard. The Humanism Church logo is in the bottom left of the square and the web address humanism.church in the bottom right.

The tools and objects we create are physical representations of our thought processes. Designed to work in a specific way analogous to how we think about the process. #Humanism #Philosophy #GastonBachelard #HumanismChurch

The background of the image is a photo of a dark night sky with thousands of stars of the milky way in the center. There is a semi-transparent square centered in the image. Inside the square, there is a quote that reads: “And instruments are nothing but theories materialized. The phenomena they produce bear the stamp of theory throughout.” The quote is attributed to Gaston Bachelard. In the bottom left of the square is the Humanism Church logo and the bottom right has the URL humanism.church.

The study is of philosophy is not purely theoretical because we are not theoretical. Changing our minds and preconceptions requires concerted effort, and we should make sure we have good reasons to do so. #Humanism #Philosophy #CSPeirce #HumanismChurch

The background is a photo of a beach with ocean waves crashing on the shore and then sun rising in the background. In the center is a semi-transparent square with text inside. The text reads: “We cannot begin with complete doubt. We must begin with all the prejudices which we actually have when we enter upon the study of philosophy. These prejudices are not to be dispelled by a maxim, for they are things which it does not occur to us can be questioned. A person may, it is true, in the course of his studies, find reason to doubt what he began by believing; but in that case he doubts because he has a positive reason for it, and not on account of the Cartesian maxim. Let us not pretend to doubt in philosophy what we do not doubt in our hearts.” The quote is attributed to Charles Sanders Peirce. In the bottom left of the square is the Humanism Church logo and in the bottom right is the URL humanism.church.

Inside the sanctuary of our mind we can do the work upon ourselves that cannot be done in public or in the company of others. We are constantly evolving and improving our character and sanctuary provides the workspace. #Humanism #Philosophy #Plotinus #HumanismChurch

The background is a photo deep in a dark green forest with tall trees and bright rays of sunshine spreading through the canopy of leaves. In the center of the photo is a semi-transparent square. The quote inside is “Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work.” It is attributed to Plotinus. In the bottom left of the square is the Humanism Church logo and in the bottom right is the URL humanism.church.

Our words have power beyond communication, they are ways to transmit, imperfectly, thoughts to others. They are endowed with meaning by our collective society. #Humanism #Philosophy #Whitehead #HumanismChurch

Of all human capacities, Aristotle felt that contemplation was the most "Good". We must make the time and effort for true, deep contemplation in our daily lives. #Humanism #Philosophy #Aristotle #HumanismChurch
