Image
One Taste is not some experience you bring about through effort rather, it is the actual condition of all experience before you do anything to it. This uncontrived state is prior to effort, prior to grasping, prior to avoiding. It is the real world before you do anything to it, including the effort to see it nondually.
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
An integral approach acknowledges that all views have a degree of truth, but some views are more true than others, more developed, more evolved, more adequate.
Ken Wilber
Image
Most of us are only willing to call 5% of our present information into question any one point.
Ken Wilber
Image
Truth, in the broadest sense, means being attuned with the real. To be authentically in touch with the true, and the good and the beautiful. Yes?
Ken Wilber
Image
The truth is an arbitrary, shifting, culturally relative, and historically molded phenomenon.
Ken Wilber
Image
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.
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
Each stage of development, remember, has a dialectic of progress--in plain language, every new development is good news, bad news.
Ken Wilber
Image
Real love will take you far beyond yourselfand therefore real love will devastate you.
Ken Wilber
Image
The integral sage, the nondual sage, is here to show us otherwise. Known generally as Tantric, these sages insist on transcending life by living it. They insist on finding release by engagement, finding nirvana in the midst of samsara, finding total liberation by complete immersion.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To understand the whole it is necessary to understand the parts. To understand the parts, it is necessary to understand the whole. Such is the circle of understanding.
Ken Wilber
Image
Freedom is an endless meeting.
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
Physics is the most fundamental, and least significant, of the sciences.
Ken Wilber
Image
You can't have good without evil, pleasure without pain, and so on.
Ken Wilber
Image
You are not the one who experiences liberation you are the clearing, the opening, the emptiness, in which any experience comes and goes, like reflections on the mirror. And you are the mirror, the mirror mind, and not any experienced reflection.
Ken Wilber
