“The fact that modern physics, the manifestation
of an extreme specialisation of the rational mind,
is now making contact with mysticism, the essence
of religion and manifestation of an extreme specialisation
of the intuitive mind, shows very beautifully
the unity and complementary nature of the rational
and intuitive modes of consciousness; of the yang
and the yin.”
-- Fritjof Capra

“The
mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers”
-- Thomas Carlyle
|
I
firmly believe that all human beings have access
to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging
from accounts of mystical experience, heightened
creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes
and artists, we harbor a greater life than we
know.”
-- Jean Huston

The
true, or higher part of the self is always seeking
the state that mystics talk about, the state in
which we are filled with a universal love and
a peaceful euphoria.
-- James Redfield
"Deep
down, all of us are probably aware that some kind
of mystical evolution is our true task. Yet we
suppress the notion with considerable force because
to admit it is to admit that most of our political
gyrations, religious dogmas, social ambitions,
and financial ploys are not merely counter-productive
but trivial."
-- Tom Robbins

"Every
one of us is a mystic. We may or may not realize
it, we may not even like it. But whether we know
it or not, whether we accept it or not, mystical
experience is always there, inviting us on a journey
of ultimate discovery. We have been given the
gift of life in this perplexing world to become
who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless
love, caring compassion, and wisdom. Existence
is a summons to the eternal journey of the sage
- the sage we all are, if only we could see."
-- Brother Wayne
Teasdale

What
does mysticism really mean? It means the way to
attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except
in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism
you go vertically.
-- Elie Wiesel

“There's
a collective knowing that a dimension of reality
exists beyond the material plane, and that sense
of knowing is causing a mystical resurgence on
the planet today. It's not just children who are
looking for a missing piece. It is a very mature
outlook to question the nature of our reality.”
-- Marianne
Williamson
