And as for baby-boomer parents cluck-clucking about illegal substances, ah, gimme a break. Still, I think I'll pass on the rave. But more power to 'em, I say.
Ken Wilber
Da Free John's phrase kept running through my mind: Practice the wound of love... practice the wound of love. Real love hurts real love makes you totally vulnerable and open real love will take you far beyond yourself and therefore real love will devastate you. I kept thinking, if love does not shatter you, you do not know love.
Ken Wilber
Art is a window to The Infinite, and opening to the goddess, a portal through which you and I, with the help of the artist, may discover depths and heights of our soul undreamed of by the vulgar world. Art is the eye of the spirit, through which the sublime can reach down to us, and we up to it, and be transformed, transfigured in the process.
Ken Wilber
Put bluntly, the ego is not an obstruction to Spirit, but a radiant manifestation of Spirit. All Forms are not other than Emptiness, including the form of the ego. It is not necessary to get rid of the ego, but simply to live with it a certain exuberance.
Ken Wilber
Anything you are exclusively attached to & identify with ends up distorting & limiting awareness.
Ken Wilber
The most striking feature of the perennial philosophy/psychology is that it presents being and consciousness as a hierarchy of dimensional levels, moving from the lowest, densest, and most fragmentary realms to the highest, subtlest, and most unitary ones.
Ken Wilber
Let's not forget that what is looking out of your eyes and hearing with your ears right now is already Spirit. And that Spirit, that I AMness, is always present in all sentient beings.
Ken Wilber
The Enlightenment was an attempt to liberate myth and base truth claims on evidence, not just dogma. But when science threw out the church, they threw out the baby with the bath water.
Ken Wilber
The Self doesn't live forever in time, it lives in the timeless present prior to time, prior to history, change, succession. The Self is present as Pure Presence, not as everlasting duration, a rather horrible notion.
Ken Wilber
As Aurobindo and Teilhard de Chardin knew, the future of humankind is God-consciousness.
Ken Wilber
I don't have to agree with everything you say, but I should attempt at least to understand it, for the opposite of mutual understanding is, quite simply, war.
Ken Wilber
In Democracy, man exploits man in Communism, it's the other way round.
Ken Wilber
Unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life are not signs of mental illness, but of growing intelligence.
Ken Wilber
Meditation, then, is not so much a part of this or that particular religion, but rather part of the universal spiritual culture of all humankind--an effort to bring awareness to bear on all aspects of life. It is, in other words, part of what has been called the perennial philosophy.
Ken Wilber
There are spiritual patterns at work in the universe and these announce themselves with impressive regularity wherever human minds and hearts attempt to attune themselves to the cosmos in all its radiant dimensions.
Ken Wilber
Most of us are only willing to call 5% of our present information into question any one point.
Ken Wilber
You can't have good without evil, pleasure without pain, and so on.
Ken Wilber
Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.
Ken Wilber
The point is to unify the opposites, both positive and negative, by discovering a ground which transcends and encompasses both.
Ken Wilber
The integral vision embodies an attempt to take the best of both worlds, ancient and modern. But that demands a critical stance willing to reject unflinchingly the worst of both as well.
