Ken Wilber Quotes

Freedom is an endless meeting Picture Quote #1

You can’t have good without evil, pleasure without pain, and so on Picture Quote #1

The truth will not necessarily set you free, but truthfulness will Picture Quote #1

It is flat-out strange that something-that anything-is happening at all. There was nothing then a Big Bang, then here we all are. This is extremely weird Picture Quote #1

Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time Picture Quote #1

Matter begins evolving back to Spirit and, when it’s reached, the whole process begins over again for the billionth time Picture Quote #1

Let’s not forget that what is looking out of your eyes and hearing with your ears right now is already Spirit. And that Spirit, that I AMness, is always present in all sentient beings Picture Quote #1

Authentic spirituality... does not render the self content, it renders it undone Picture Quote #1

I went to Duke University in the medical track. And then I decided I wanted to do something more creative, so I switched to biochemistry at Nebraska Picture Quote #1

Evolution goes beyond what went before, but because it must embrace what went before, then its very nature is to transcend and include and thus it has an inherent directionality, a secret impulse, toward increasing depth, increasing intrinsic value, increasing consciousness. In order for evolution to move at all, it must move in those directions-there’s no place else for it to go! Picture Quote #1

Start as a human being in this culture, toss in madness, toss in mystical states, toss in being gay, toss in being HIV-positive, toss in religion that assures you God hates you for all of that - and then look me in the eye and tell me you can feel ok about yourself. I dare you. I just dare you Picture Quote #1

Was it someone else? Was it not you yourself? Picture Quote #1

THE ULTIMATE METAPHYSICAL SECRET, if we dare state it so simply, is that there are no boundaries in the universe. Boundaries are illusions, products not of reality but of the way we map and edit reality. And while it is fine to map out the territory, it is fatal to confuse the two Picture Quote #1

The Big Bang has made Idealists out of almost anybody who thinks. First there was absolutely nothing, then Bang! Something. This is beyond weird. Out of sheerest Emptiness, manifestation arises Picture Quote #1

Subpersonalities can exist at different levels or memes, however, so that one can indeed have a purple subpersonality, a blue subpersonality, and so on. These often are context-triggered, so that one can have quite different types of moral responses, affects, needs, etc., in different situations Picture Quote #1

The Enlightenment was an attempt to liberate myth and base truth claims on evidence, not just dogma. But when science threw out the church, they threw out the baby with the bath water Picture Quote #1

And as for baby-boomer parents cluck-clucking about illegal substances, ah, gimme a break. Still, I think I’ll pass on the rave. But more power to ‘em, I say Picture Quote #1

I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today Picture Quote #1

I think I was a born scientist Picture Quote #1

What’s my philosophy? In a word, integral Picture Quote #1

I don’t talk about consciousness. I talk about interiority Picture Quote #1

Real love will take you far beyond yourself;and therefore real love will devastate you Picture Quote #1

All sentient beings - all holons in fact - contain Buddha-nature - contain depth, consciousness, intrinsic value, Spirit - and thus we are all members of the council of all beings... And the ultimate objective truth is that all beings are perfect manifestations of Spirit or Emptiness Picture Quote #1

Physics is the most fundamental, and least significant, of the sciences Picture Quote #1

You cannot have exterior development without interior development to hold it in place Picture Quote #1

Real love will take you far beyond yourself; and therefore real love will devastate you Picture Quote #1

Be the most ethical, the most responsible, the most authentic you can be with every breath you take, because you are cutting a path into tomorrow that others will follow Picture Quote #1

My ankle hurts from dancing last night so there is pain. But the pain doesn’t hurt me for there is no me Picture Quote #1

Human beings are born and begin their evolution through the great spiral of consciousness, moving from archaic to magic to mythic to rational to perhaps integral, and from there perhaps into genuinely transpersonal domains. But for every person that moves into integral or higher, dozens are born into the archaic Picture Quote #1

If a culture treats a particular illness with compassion and enlightened understanding, then sickness can be seen as a challenge, as a healing crisis and opportunity. Being sick is then not a condemnation or a moral judgement, but a movement in a larger process of healing and restoration. When sickness is viewed positively and in supportive terms, then illness has a much better chance to heal, with the concomitant result that the entire person may grown and be enriched in the process Picture Quote #1
