We have to leave everything we have been, a perceiver, I as an individual. That is enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Consider your second attention as a spiritual perceiver. Consider how you use it. You may plead innocence. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't feel that you've sinned. You have done what you had to do to survive, as did your mother, as did your grandmother.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.
Frederick Lenz
Image
[John] Calvin treats experience as essentially visionary and revelatory from moment to moment, addressed to the individual perceiver, the individual soul. Where this is assumed preconceptions can only distract and obscure, though, of course, as human beings we can never wholly free ourselves of them.
Marilynne Robinson
Image
The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
By his very profession, a serious fiction writer is a vendor of the sensuous particulars of life, a perceiver and handler of things. His most valuable tools are his sense and his memory what happens in his mind is primarily pictures.
Wallace Stegner
Image
Step beyond your role as a perceiver, merge everything into the flux.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nirvana is a step beyond. You dissolve into the universe. The universe dissolves into you until there is no longer a difference. There is no sense of individual self as perceiver.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of I as a perceiver falls away.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future . . . I felt myself to be, for an unknown period of time, an abstract perceiver of the world.
Jorge Luis Borges
Image
A fact which is not denied but whose truths are rationalized loses its objective base. It ceases to be concrete and becomes a myth created in defense of the class of the perceiver.
Paulo Freire
Image
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The spaces between the perceiver and the thing perceived can [...] be closed with a shout of recognition.
Timothy Findley
