“So you’re stuck. Every time your madman starts to write, your judge pounces on him… So start by promising your judge that you’ll get around to asking his opinion, but not now. And then let the madman energy flow… Save details for the judge.”

What’s emerging is a new synthesis of science, spirituality and leadership as different facets of a single way of being.

The U theory suggests that the central integrating thought … will emerge from building three integrated capacities.

I think a buddhist would say that presencing can arise to the extent that we develop the capacity, individually and collectively, to extend our conscious awareness in both domains.

Serving the emerging whole means paying attention to what’s right here within my awareness, what’s completely local, and surrendering to what’s being asked of me now.

The emerging whole manifests locally. It manifests in particular communities, groups, and, ultimately, in us as individuals.

The basic problem with the new species of global institutions is that they have not yet become aware of themselves as living.

What we’re calling ‘presencing’ is possible because of this womb, where the absolute and the manifest interact.

When you see what you’re here for, the world begins to mirror your purpose in a magical way. It’s almost as if you suddenly find yourself on a stage in a play that was written expressly for you.

If science is an unfinished project, the next stage will be about reconnecting and integrating the rigor of scientific method with the richness of direct experience to produce a science that will serve to connect us to one another, ourselves and the world.

When you’re offstage, that’s the footprint. That’s the man God’s gonna judge.

You can’t judge people by their cover.

The judge is nothing but the law speaking.

Don’t judge yourself by others’ standards…have your own. And don’t get caught up into the trap of changing yourself to fit the world.

Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the depths from which we started.

We’ve had many times when a judge makes decisions that are inaccurate, and that’s why we have an appeal processes

The great tides and currents which engulf the rest of men do not turn aside in their course and pass the judges by.

When you look at the media and television, and all this Hollywood stuff, you just judge people.
