"Infinite worlds appear and disappear in the vast expanse of
my own consciousness, and like motes of dust dancing in a heaven of light."
Ancient Vedic Saying
"The hero, whether a god or goddess, man or woman, the figure in a myth or the
dreamer of a dream, discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own
unsuspected self.) One by one the resistances are broken. He must put
aside his pride, his virtue, beauty, and life, and bow or submit to the
absolutely intolerable. Then he finds that he and his opposite are not
differing species, but one flesh."
Joseph Campbell
" 'Faith is blind,' say people who are not acquainted with the
real thing; but those who are in a spiritual understanding know that faith has
open eyes, that certain things do exist in Spirit and become substantial and
real to one who dwells and thinks and lives in faith. Such a one knows."
Charles Fillmore
"The whole of existence is imagination within imagination,
while Being is God alone."
IBN' ARABI
"If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is
open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities;
in the expert's mind there are few."
Shunryu Suzuki
"In fact it is dubious that one can even speak of
"experiencing" reality, since this would imply a separation between the
experiencer and the experience."
Chogyam Trungpa
"As is the atom, so is the universe."
Upanishads
"Gaining enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the
water. The moon doesn't get wet; the water isn't broken. Although
its light is broad and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch
wide. The whole moon and the whole sky are reflected in one dewdrop on
the grass."
