To understand that, we have to begin to imagine what a universe would be like if there wasn't anything in it called Mind. If that was the case, according to quantum physics now, then every possibility would also come into existence as every other possibility.

When you start to try to understand everything in terms of words, the understanding of the words becomes the experience, and the experience gets lost.

It came to my mind that in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, in Indian spiritual literature, and in the Bhagavad Gita, and when I started reading about outstanding yogis and people of exceeding spiritual power such as Ramana Maharshi, or Yogananda, they all had the ability to do what we would call - I don't know what you would even call it - psychic phenomenon, magic, transform objects, be able to perceive the future, the past and the present simultaneously.

There is an ability to move and transform things. I think each human being has that power, and it's often one that we are willing to relinquish to others.

I read that Buddha was able to see all of his past lives, and I realized the only way any of these people could do that is by being outside of time.

I think a lot of psychological healing tends to work on that basis. We go into the unconscious to find what's holding you back, so to speak, and I think there is an unconscious body image that may be responsible for the unhealing that's taking place.

The real alchemy is transforming the base self into gold or into spiritual awareness. That's really what new alchemy's all about.
