More quotes by Ken Wilber
If you really want to change the world, you must first understand it adequately, or all you will do is reproduce in larger numbers your own ignorance.
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
The nondual universe of One Taste arises as a spontaneous gesture of your own true nature.
Ken Wilber
There is intersubjectivity woven into the very fabric of the Kosmos at all levels.
Ken Wilber
One's sanctions for truth and goodness are established largely by individual preferences.

Ken Wilber
The great and rare mystics of the past . . . were, in fact, ahead of their time, and are still ahead of ours. In other words, they most definitely are not figures of the past. They are figures of the future.
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
I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today.
Ken Wilber
Most of us are only willing to call 5% of our present information into question any one point.
Ken Wilber
Whenever we moderns pause for a moment, and enter the silence, and listen very carefully, the glimmer of our deepest nature begins to shine forth, and we are introduced to the mysteries of the deep, the call of the within, the infinite radiance of a splendor that time and space forgot
Ken Wilber
Bad Gardens copy, good gardens create, great gardens transcend.
Ken Wilber
Real love will take you far beyond yourselfand therefore real love will devastate you.
Ken Wilber
The single greatest world transformation would simply be the embrace of global reasonableness and pluralistic tolerance the global embrace of egoic-rationality (on the way to centauric vision-logic).
Ken Wilber
Freedom is an endless meeting.
Ken Wilber
For what we don't realize today is just what the typical self of every previous stage failed likewise to comprehend: this is not the highest and greatest mode of consciousness which can be attained - there lie ahead the realms of the superconscious and the pitiful ego, by comparison, is as a speck of nothingness.
Ken Wilber
Being completely and totally present and at every single point of space and time, It is fully and completely present here and now, thus we can no more attain immanent Spirit then we could, say, attain our feet.
Ken Wilber
And resting in the ocean, dipped into the sea, I find glimmers of One Taste everywhere.
Ken Wilber
A natural hierarchy is simply an order of increasing wholeness, such as: particles to atoms to cells to organisms, or letters to words to sentences to paragraphs. The whole of one level becomes part of the whole of the next. In other words, natural hierarchies are composed of holons.
Ken Wilber
Meditation was invented as a way for the soul to venture inward, there ultimately to find supreme identity with Godhead. Whatever else it does, and it does many beneficial things, meditation is first and foremost a search for the God within.
