The self is fundamentally an illusion arising as a reflection of the soul in matter, much as a clear lake at midnight reflects the moon.

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.

Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived.

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.

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.

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.

In the Greek way of dealing with alchemy, which was earth, air, fire and water, these were the objective qualities. Within the objective qualities - things of earth, air, fire and water - are our subjective experiences of hot, cold, dry, and moist.

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

It's very frustrating if you've never had an experience and somebody comes up to you and says, I've just been on a flying saucer. Your tendency is to think, Oh, this guy must be wacko, nuts, having an hallucination. None of that can be true because none of that has ever happened to me.

We all get out, maybe for longer than we wish, because we all pass this mortal coil more or less and so we certainly get a chance to experience it again, and we've experienced it before we were born. So it's more or less our natural place of being, unless you believe that the only time you're conscious is when you're alive.

The kinds of mystical experiences that I have had definitely convinced me that I was able to get out of time. I have had experiences, or brief glimpses, of being able to see the future and then come back into time, and then go into extraordinary realms of the past.

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.

People 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.

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.

I think a lot of psychological healing tends to work on that basis. We go into the unconscious to find what's holding you back, so to speak, and I think there is an unconscious body image that may be responsible for the unhealing that's taking place.

The place where...knowledge occurs is the present. That which recognizes the present is mind.

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.

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.

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.

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