The feeling that dreams show us the real nature of reality is something that's shared by many indigenous groups around the world.

We have been the benefactors of our cultural heritage and the victims of our cultural narrowness.

Consciousness is anything you define it as. I tell people instead of waiting, just take any definition that you like, and use that, and run with it! So I don't think the issue is that we don't know what consciousness is. The issue is we don't have a consensus on what consciousness is. Far from it.

If people see how we're all interconnected and connected with Nature, we wouldn't have an environmental crisis, we wouldn't have two dozen wars all over the world.

The body does not end with our skin - it extends into time, into space, and into other people.
