“Real mindfulness is to be aware of a situation both internally and externally, and so to see as a whole...that this is not separate from that.”
― Not I, Not other than I: The Life And Teachings Of Russel Williams

“The conventional materialist mode has very serious consequences in terms of how we live our lives, and how we treat other species and the natural world. It leads to a devaluation of life—of our own lives, of other species' and the Earth itself..a spiritual worldview can change our relationship to the world. It can engender a reverential attitude to nature, and to life itself. It can heal us, just as it can heal the whole world.”

“Most of us are moving through such an undergrowth of excess that we cannot sense the shape of ourselves any more.”
― Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World

“As the sign of a deeper truth, metaphor was close to sacrament. Because the vastness and richness of reality cannot be expressed by the overt sense of a statement alone.”

“Consciousness is continually widening its expanse. One becomes more and more conscious, but not as an individual. Ultimately there is no self-consciousness, and no self. The only reality is consciousness itself, no separation. When a person meditates deeply they lose awareness of the body and become part of this expanse of consciousness. They become aware that what they thought was their own consciousness is part of Consciousness itself.”
