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.

More quotes by 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
Anything you are exclusively attached to & identify with ends up distorting & limiting awareness.
Ken Wilber
The mystics ask you to take nothing on mere belief. Rather, they give you a set of experiments to test in your own awareness and experience. The laboratory is your own mind, the experiment is meditation.
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
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.
Ken Wilber
Authentic spirituality is revolutionary. It does not legitimate the world, it breaks the world it does not console the world, it shatters it. And it does not render the self content, it renders it undone.
Ken Wilber
I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today.
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
These two enormous forces - truth and meaning - are at war in today's world... And something sooner or later has to give.
Ken Wilber
Each stage of development, remember, has a dialectic of progress--in plain language, every new development is good news, bad news.
Ken Wilber
Freedom is an endless meeting.
Ken Wilber
Global consciousness is not an objective belief that can be taught to anybody and everybody, but a subjective transformation in the interior structures that can hold belief in the first place, which itself is the product of a long line of inner consciousness development.
Ken Wilber
Science is clearly one of the most profound methods that humans have yet devised for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning.
Ken Wilber
I don't believe that any human mind is capable of 100 percent error... Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.
Ken Wilber
Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.
Ken Wilber
What is it in you that brings you to a spiritual teacher in the first place? It's not the spirit in you, since that is already enlightened, and has no need to seek. No, it is the ego in you that brings you to a teacher.
Ken Wilber
Society forces you to conform.
Ken Wilber
The nondual universe of One Taste arises as a spontaneous gesture of your own true nature.
Ken Wilber
Eternity is not ever-lasting time but the real, unfading, indestructible, and timeless Present, for, as Schroedinger said, the present is the only thing that has no end.
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
