“You can’t blame the person for creating that illness for themselves, because it was a creation. If you could find out how you created it, you might be able to find out a way to let go.”

All we know is that you are, if you will, the acme of perfection.

To understand that, we have to begin to imagine what a universe would be like if there wasn’t anything in it called Mind. If that was the case, according to quantum physics now, then every possibility would also come into existence as every other possibility.

The shamanic realm is to get you out of the word set. For skeptics, that’s impossible, and they just can’t see that and it just makes no sense.

Learning to see love and to express that love is the purpose of living this life. What’s real has love at its heart; the universe is constructed from love, and that love is very much tied to our power of attention and imagination.

The real alchemy is transforming the base self into gold or into spiritual awareness. That’s really what new alchemy’s all about.

I want to explain the new alchemy [in the “From Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to a New Vision of Mind and Time”], which has to do with understanding what I call the subjective and objective qualities of existence.

Certainly in terms of technology, it’s made a tremendous impact, but medicine is still within the realm of what we might call “objective” science. It’s still part of the objective way of looking at the world.

I read that Buddha was able to see all of his past lives, and I realized the only way any of these people could do that is by being outside of time.

That’s sort of the idea that if we, in attempting to explain away that which is experienced, the experience itself is diminished.

What is the relationship of the obvious things that we see around us to the things that we believe we understand within ourselves? This is the ancient alchemical formula: “as above, so below, as within, so without.”

Oh, scientific mind. You get all your data from us, the senses, but without us you would be nothing.

Dreams – Language in a dream is unspoken but understood. Words get in the way.

When you start to try to understand everything in terms of words, the understanding of the words becomes the experience, and the experience gets lost.

There is an ability to move and transform things. I think each human being has that power, and it’s often one that we are willing to relinquish to others.

When I speak or when I offer ideas and explain how the universe seems to work from the point of view that I’ve understood, it seems to give people a lift – an unshackling or freeing.

In very subtle ways, how we regard ourselves and others continually changes us into something new.

If you want to be right-sized in body, you’ve got to get rid of the supersize way of life.

Who says there’s just one safe way to walk, one road properly lit, and the rest – all slippery water, unmarked?

It’s not controversial to say that human activity is contributing in some way. The question is how serious that is.

When something that can never quite be reenacted comes to an end (and all moments are that way),

We make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do

Viewers can’t expect TV to keep developing unless they make their wants known. And let’s face it. The best way to make your wants known in this world is by ‘beefing’.

The first thing the federal government can do to help is get out of the way.

We have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way by which faith can be acquired.
