Culture is not made up but something that evolves which is human.

Shakespeare reveals human nature brilliantly: he shines a light on our instinctive desire to dominate each other.

. . . how man evolved with such an incredible reservoir of talent and such fantastic diversity isn't completely understood . . . he knows so little and has nothing to measure himself against.

Now, you can't tell me, we have the only God in the whole world. You can't tell me that nobody else has God.

We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.

Two points that are very important points to remember and ask: Is it real and does it work?

When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brainthat is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious--to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.
