Have we forgotten that wilderness is not a place, but a pattern of soul, where every tree, every bird and beast is a soul maker?

~Ian McCallum

This fascinating world rises like a wave in the primordial ocean of consciousness and dissolves in it.

~Yoga Vasistha

To exist means to be something, a thing, a feeling, a thought, an idea. All existence is particular. Only being is universal, in the sense that every being is compatible with every other being. Existences clash, being- never. Existence means becoming, change, birth and death and birth again, while in being there is silent peace.

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

The universe is a communion and a community. We ourselves are that communion becoming conscious of itself.

~Thomas Berry

The descent into one’s depths brings healing. It is the path to total being, the treasure which makes sacrifice worth the effort. This is the place where consciousness is born, and at the same time the place where healing and redemption take place. It is the cave where the dragon of chaos lives. But it is also the place of an indestructible city, a sacred place in yourself
