“Asking 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.”

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.

Reality gets created through acts of observation.

Consciousness is the creative element in the universe. Without it, nothing would appear.

The quantum is that embarrassing little piece of thread that always hangs from the sweater of space-time. Pull it and the whole thing unravels.

The mistakes of the fool are known to the world, but not to himself. The mistakes of the wise man are known to himself, but not to the world.

He knoweth the universe, and himself he knoweth not.

Half the world does not know how the other half lives.

Cats know not how to pardon.

What would you do if you knew for sure that no one would ever find out?
