What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.

You will never get to the irreducible definition of anything because you will never be able to explain why you want to explain, and so on. The system will gobble itself up.

You find out that the universe is a system that creeps up on itself and says 'Boo' and then laughs at itself for jumping.

We suffer from a hallucination, from a false and distorted sensation of our own existence as living organisms. Most of us have the sensation that "I myself" is a seperate center of feeling and action, living inside and bounded by the physical body-a center which "confronts" an "external" world of people and things, making contact through the senses with a universe both alien and strange.

What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.

Self-improvement is a dangerous form of vanity.

Every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.
