FRED ALAN WOLFI 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.
FRED ALAN WOLFWhen 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.
FRED ALAN WOLFThe real alchemy is transforming the base self into gold or into spiritual awareness. That’s really what new alchemy’s all about.
FRED ALAN WOLFThe quantum is that embarrassing little piece of thread that always hangs from the sweater of space-time. Pull it and the whole thing unravels.
FRED ALAN WOLFAsking yourself deeper questions opens up new ways of being in the world. It brings in a breath of fresh air. It makes life more joyful. The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery.
FRED ALAN WOLFReality includes both the past and the future, but existence includes only the present and is totally dependent on the reality of past and future universes. Without them there is no existence now.
FRED ALAN WOLFI 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.
FRED ALAN WOLFWe need all three senses of time – a sense of the future, a sense of the present, and a sense of the past – at all times to understand or experience what’s happening right now. It’s constantly unfolding that way.
FRED ALAN WOLFOh, scientific mind. You get all your data from us, the senses, but without us you would be nothing.
FRED ALAN WOLFReality gets created through acts of observation.
FRED ALAN WOLFCertainly 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.
FRED ALAN WOLFConsciousness is the creative element in the universe. Without it, nothing would appear.
FRED ALAN WOLFYou 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.
FRED ALAN WOLFWhat I thought was unreal now, for me, seems in some ways to be more real than what I think to be real, which seems now to be unreal
FRED ALAN WOLFWhen you start to try to understand everything in terms of words, the understanding of the words becomes the experience, and the experience gets lost.
FRED ALAN WOLFPeople who are creative often will spend hours doing something and come out of their period of creation and not even notice that hours have passed. In that sense, they’re able to time travel.
