I don't believe that any human mind is capable of 100 percent error... Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.

In Democracy, man exploits man; in Communism, it's the other way round.

I don't talk about consciousness. I talk about interiority.

What's my philosophy? In a word, integral. And what on earth-or in heaven-do I mean by "integral"? The dictionary meaning is fairly simple: "comprehensive, balanced, inclusive, essential for completeness." Short definition, tall order.

The point is to unify the opposites, both positive and negative, by discovering a ground which transcends and encompasses both.

Each stage of development, remember, has a dialectic of progress--in plain language, every new development is good news, bad news.

I'll tell you what I think. I think sages are the growing tip of the secret impulse of evolution. I think they are the leading edge of the self-transcending drive that always goes beyond what went before. I think they embody the very drive of the Kosmos toward greater depth and expanding consciousness. I think they are riding the edge of a light beam toward a rendezvous with God.
