“You don’t need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.”

Float with me in the world of ether.

The world is as you are.

I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.

I don’t like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don’t really understand the word ‘irony’ too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it’s much more exalted.

Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chance out between two worlds, fire walk with me!

If you keep your eye on the doughnut and do your work, that’s all you can control. You can’t control any of what’s out there, outside yourself.

I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within.

I like darkness and confusion and absurdity, but I like to know that there could be a little door that you could go out into a safe life area of happiness.

Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity.

Negativity is the enemy of creativity.

There’s always fear of the unknown where there’s mystery.

Black has depth.. you can go into it.. And you start seeing what you’re afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream.

I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it. That’s why I love coffee shops and public places – I mean, they’re all out there.

Individual peace is the unit of world peace.

Don’t make a film if it can’t be the film you want to make. It’s a joke, and a sick joke, and it’ll kill you.

It’s so freeing, it’s beautiful in a way, to have a great failure, there’s nowhere to go but up.

I do a little bit of yoga-style meditation. Relaxing and breathing even just one minute a day makes a big difference.

If you want to be successful, just meditate, man. God will tell you what people need.

I spend a lot of time meditating, which is something that I don’t think most people know about me.

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.

The less thinking. The more breathing. Stay in this space a little longer.

I meditate I sit and wait I let my soul.

I’ve started doing yoga and meditation, but I’m not very good at that kind of thing and turning my brain off.

J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There’s a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it’s like meditation.
