Faith & Spirit Quote by Eileen Caddy

The line lands like a gentle permission slip with a steel core: your life is not a group project. Caddy’s phrasing turns morality and meaning into something intimate and bespoke, not a set of rules you borrow from the loudest person in the room. “Right for one soul” sidesteps the culture-war version of right and wrong and points to a quieter, more unnerving question: are you living in alignment, or just behaving?

The subtext is a rebuke to consensus. “May not be right for another” isn’t moral relativism for its own sake; it’s a warning about spiritual outsourcing. If you let other people define your “right,” you’ll inevitably end up performing a life that looks coherent from the outside and feels wrong from the inside. The sentence structure helps: it starts soft, almost reasonable, then tightens into consequence.

That consequence is social. “Stand on your own” frames independence as posture and stamina, not a slogan. Then comes the word that does the real work: “strange.” Caddy doesn’t romanticize rebellion with “brave” or “bold.” She chooses the exact label society uses to punish deviation. It’s an acknowledgment that authenticity often reads as eccentricity until it becomes legible, and that the price of an inner compass is public misunderstanding.

Caddy’s context as a New Age spiritual figure (not a politician, not a scientist) matters: she’s speaking from a world where intuition, inner guidance, and personal revelation are treated as credible authorities. The quote is designed to reassure seekers who feel out of step, while quietly daring them to accept the loneliness that comes with choosing a path that can’t be crowdsourced.
