John Zada
“Contrary to what we think, we experience reality not as it actually is—but as a simplified model. The reason for this? Reality is far too complex. Infinitely complex, in fact... as a result, our mind evolved to construct a deeply simplified version of all that surrounds us: a virtual reality made up of only the important information—perhaps a trillionth of the possible external stimuli. And we make do with that.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“We have an innate, fundamental need for meaning—for our lives to be meaningful.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

John Zada
“If you see a Sasquatch out on the land, it's meant to tell you something. You were supposed to see it. You don't go looking for it just for the sake of seeing it. If you do, you'll never find them... it's just like in life; when you try too hard to find something, you can't. But then as soon as you stop looking, stop trying, you become more likely to find it.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

John Zada
“When people who see a Bigfoot in a transcendental way then choose to search for the creature afterward, they are really looking to relive, or recapture, a moment of expanded awareness that has long since vanished.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

John Zada
“I've learned to see the Sasquatch as a powerful symbol of the natural world—a diminishing realm fro which most of us are becoming increasingly estranged. On one level, Sasquatches personify the more refined spectra of nature that we cannot, or often do not, see. They remind us that there is much more to the natural world, writ large, than meets the eye. They also show us, almost by holding a mirror to ourselves, that they eye with which we see is limited. The artificial lines we humans have created, the fragmentation we have wrought upon the whole, separate us from the wilds to which we are inextricably linked.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch
