Spirituality is a kind of virgin wisdom, a knowing that comes prior to experience.

The difference between transformation by accident and transformation by a system is like the difference between lightning and a lamp. Both give illumination, but one is dangerous and unreliable, while the other is relatively safe, directed, available.

If we continue to believe as we have always believed, we will continue to act as we have always acted. If we continue to act as we have always acted, we will continue to get what we have always gotten.

The beginning of personal transformation is absurdly easy. We have only to pay attention to the flow of attention itself.

The East contemplated the forest the West counted the trees...the mind that knows that trees and the forest is a new mind.

The brain's calculations do not require our conscious effort, only our attention and our openness to let the information through. Although the brain absorbs universes of information, little is admitted into normal consciousness.

We live what we know. If we believe the universe and ourselves to be mechanical, we will live mechanically.
