The place where...knowledge occurs is the present. That which recognizes the present is mind.

In very subtle ways, how we regard ourselves and others continually changes us into something new.

When I worked with various healers of one kind or another, very often what came up was that there was an "inner" person who was controlling what was going on in the life of the "outer" person, who thinks he's in control of his life. That inner person has a vested interest in keeping the person from getting well, so the healing doesn't take place.

You had to be able to lift yourself outside of the time stream - and that essentially became what is called the yoga of time travel.

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

Alchemy and Kabbalah are later developments in my thinking. I think the primary interest has been the relationship of magic and mystery to logic and understanding. Those are the primary driving forces of my life. I have this ability, for some reason, to be able to hold both the Magical MysteryTour we're on in conjunction with the logical rigor of understanding theoretical physics, which makes me kind of a rare bird, because usually you're one or the other.

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.
