“How far-fetched (or not) we deem the Sasquatch might also hinge on our perception of space. Bigfoots may be unbelievable to so many people simply because most of us are disconnected from the true depths and expanses of the earth and its wild areas.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“Then a thought hits me: maybe the Sasquatch hasn't been found, indeed can't be found, because it residesin the place most difficult for us to find and navigate. A wilderness of an altogether different sort. A place where people seldom look, or are loath to look: in the subtler shades, the gradations between black and white—the middle ground between "this" and "that," between "It exists" and "It doesn't exist," where the components of truth most often reside.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“When people who see a Bigfoot in a transcendental way then choose to search for the creature afterward, they are really looking to relive, or recapture, a moment of expanded awareness that has long since vanished.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“Contrary to what we think, we experience reality not as it actually is—but as a simplified model. The reason for this? Reality is far too complex. Infinitely complex, in fact... as a result, our mind evolved to construct a deeply simplified version of all that surrounds us: a virtual reality made up of only the important information—perhaps a trillionth of the possible external stimuli. And we make do with that.”
