François Jullien
“At the most embryonic state, the tendency toward the fullness of actualization is already latent.”
François Jullien, The Propensity of Things: Toward a History of Efficacy in China

Roberto Assagioli
“The mind is brought into harmony with the spirit and includes the body, achieving an organic, harmonious unity of all aspects of the person's being, what we might call 'bio-psychosynthesis'. This is true spiritual alchemy”
Roberto Assagioli, Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis

“The unusual difficulty in making Qi intelligible in modern Western philosophy suggests that the underlying Chinese metaphysical assumption is significantly different from the Cartesian
dichotomy between spirit and matter.... (furthermore) the continuous presence in Chinese philosophy of the idea of Qi as a way of conceptualizing the base structure and function of the cosmos, despite the availability of symbolic resources to make an analytical distinction between spirit and matter as an undifferentiated whole. The loss of analytical clarity is compensated by the reward of imaginative richness. The fruitful ambiguity of Qi allows philosophers to explore realms of being which are inconceivable to people constricted to Cartesian dichotomy.”
Tui Wei-ming

Anagarika Govinda
“A real Guru's initiation is beyond the divisions of sects and creeds: it is the awakening to our own inner reality which, once glimpsed, determines our further course of development and our actions in life without the enforcement of outer rules.”
Anagarika Govinda, The Way of the White Clouds
tags: guru

“Within my body are all the sacred places of the world and the most profound pilgrimage that I can ever make is within my own body.”
