If the human race develops an electronic nervous system, outside the bodies of individual people, thus giving us all one mind and one global body, this is almost precisely what has happened in the organization of cells which compose our own bodies. We have already done it. [...] If all this ends with the human race leaving no more trace of itself in the universe than a system of electronic patterns, why should that trouble us? For that is exactly what we are now!

Every explicit duality is an implicit unity.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.

Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.

When we look for things there is nothing but mind, and when we look for mind there is nothing but things.
