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.

Image
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
Image
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

You cannot have exterior development without interior development to hold it in place.
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
One's sanctions for truth and goodness are established largely by individual preferences.
Ken Wilber

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

To be integrally developed does not mean that you have to excel in all the known intelligences, or that all of your lines have to be at level 3. But it does mean that you develop a very good sense of what your own psychograph is actually like, so that with a much more Integral self-image you can plan your future development.
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
Image
Anything you are exclusively attached to & identify with ends up distorting & limiting awareness.
Ken Wilber
Image
The nondual universe of One Taste arises as a spontaneous gesture of your own true nature.
Ken Wilber
Image
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
Image
These two enormous forces - truth and meaning - are at war in today's world... And something sooner or later has to give.
Ken Wilber
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.

In Democracy, man exploits man in Communism, it's the other way round.

Unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life are not signs of mental illness, but of growing intelligence.
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
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
To develop a more or less accurate self-image...is simply to gain a comprehensive awareness of those facets of yourself which you didn't know existed. And these facets are easily spotted because they show up as your symptoms.
