"We can go through our whole lives worrying about our future happiness, and totally miss where true peace lives-right here, right now."
"We are living through the most exciting, challenging and most critical time in human history. Never before has so much been possible; and never before has so much been at stake."

"Science can explain what's happening down inside atoms and what's happening at the edge of the universe, but it cannot explain consciousness. It's a paradox--withou t consciousness there would be no science, but science doesn't know what to do, at all, with consciousness."
"As the proportion of people reaching higher states of consciousness increases, this inertia will decrease, and at the same time a supportive momentum in the new direction will start building up."
"If we want to find God, we have to look within, into the realm of deep mind-a realm that science has yet to explore."
"Information is recorded in vast interconnecting networks. Each idea or image has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of associations and is connected to numerous other points in the mental network."
"Memory is not like a container that gradually fills up, it is more like a tree growing hooks onto which memories are hung. Everything you remember is another set of hooks on which more new memories can be attached. So the capacity of memory keeps on growing. The more you know, the more you can know."
