The Marriage of Sense and Soul Quotes

“The cure for the disaster of modernity is to address the dissociation, not attempt to erase the differentiation!”
― Ken Wilber, The Marriage of Sense and Soul: Integrating Science and Religion

“where evidence is erased, narcissism flourishes. The demand for evidence—or validity claims—which has always anchored genuine and progressive science, simply means that one’s own ego cannot impose on the universe a view of reality that finds no support from the universe itself. The validity claims and evidence are the ways in which we attune ourselves to the Kosmos. The validity claims force us to confront reality; they curb our egoic fantasies and self-centered ways; they demand evidence from the rest of the Kosmos; they force us outside of ourselves! They are the checks and balances in the Kosmic Constitution.”
