“If any of you ever go into the pulpit "simply upon the cold legs of custom," be very careful to take a manuscript with you. But if you go to speak to the assembly because your mind is full of the truth, and you long to impart that truth to them, for their sake and for God's sake, — then charge your mind with it, and speak with all the force you can give it, without any notes.”

Richard Salter Storrs (1821–1900) American Congregational clergyman

“The heart is the bridge between the mind and the soul. First get out of your mind and into your heart space. From there it is a quick jump into your soul. When you are in your heart space with another, that is when you can have a real soul talk. When you are in your heart space with yourself, that is when you can experience connecting with your soul at a very deep level. That is when you can experience communion with God.”

Neale Donald Walsch (1943) American writer

“God talks to you through your soul, not through your mind. And yes, you can learn to tell the difference. This is called discernment. Be judicious. Give everything the “tummy test.” Your stomach will know when something is true. Ever notice that? The tummy knows what the mind can only wonder about.”

Neale Donald Walsch (1943) American writer
