More quotes by 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
When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightening cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your very own limitless Being, waving back at you?
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
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
I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today.
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
Like going to the dentist, where you write: Dental appointment today. All of the dentists in Boulder are 'holistic.' They can't fill a cavity but they're good for your soul. Your teeth rot, but apparently your spirit prospers.
Ken Wilber
Anything you are exclusively attached to & identify with ends up distorting & limiting awareness.
Ken Wilber
We must forgive each other our arising, for our existence always torments others. The golden rule in the midst of this mutual misery has always been, not to do no harm, but as little as possible and not to love one another, but as much as you can.
Ken Wilber
Bad Gardens copy, good gardens create, great gardens transcend.
Ken Wilber
Change of state is not the point recognizing the Changeless is the point, recognizing primordial Emptiness is the point, and if you are breathing and vaguely awake, that state of consciousness will do just fine.
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
Conscious business.. business that is conscious of inner and outer worlds.. would therefore be business that takes into account body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature. Put differently, conscious business would be mindful of the way that the spectrum of consciousness operates in the Big Three worlds of self and culture and nature.
Ken Wilber
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
Society forces you to conform.
Ken Wilber
There is intersubjectivity woven into the very fabric of the Kosmos at all levels.
Ken Wilber
Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.
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
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
Physics is the most fundamental, and least significant, of the sciences.
