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
Image
All sentient beings - all holons in fact - contain Buddha-nature - contain depth, consciousness, intrinsic value, Spirit - and thus we are all members of the council of all beings... And the ultimate objective truth is that all beings are perfect manifestations of Spirit or Emptiness
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Prana is implicate to matter but explicate to mind mind is implicate to prana but explicate to soul soul is implicate to mind but explicate to spirit and the spirit is the source and suchness of the entire sequence.
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.

Image
One's sanctions for truth and goodness are established largely by individual preferences.
Ken Wilber
Image
Freedom is an endless meeting.
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 nondual universe of One Taste arises as a spontaneous gesture of your own true nature.
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
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
The truth is an arbitrary, shifting, culturally relative, and historically molded phenomenon.
Ken Wilber
Image
As Aurobindo and Teilhard de Chardin knew, the future of humankind is God-consciousness.
Ken Wilber
Image
Unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life are not signs of mental illness, but of growing intelligence.
Ken Wilber
Image
Love is a time-honored way to transcend the separate-self sense and leap into the sublime Treya and I held hands, closed our eyes, and jumped.
Ken Wilber
Image
Physics is the most fundamental, and least significant, of the sciences.
Ken Wilber
Image
Human beings are born and begin their evolution through the great spiral of consciousness, moving from archaic to magic to mythic to rational to perhaps integral, and from there perhaps into genuinely transpersonal domains. But for every person that moves into integral or higher, dozens are born into the archaic.
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
In a special sense... the three great natural states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep contain an entire spectrum of spiritual enlightenment.
