Dream It to Do It Quotes

“Weirdly, the leading-edge scientific dis-coveries of modern physics about the nature of the external physical world increasingly correspond with the descriptions of the ancient wisdom traditions. Physics has to rely on complex high-tech equipment for its “discoveries.” By contrast, the source for the ancient wisdom traditions was simply the subjective experiences of mystics. And yet soft mysticism and hard science are converging—ancient and modern, subjective and objective—on the same conceptions about the underlying nature of reality.”

“Ironically, the illusion of duality and separation can feel most painfully real in our romantic relationships. In the beginning of such relationships, there’s a spark, a sense of excitement, and an intoxicating connection between the eyes. Initially, it’s like gazing through a magical mirror and falling in love with the mutual beingness on the other side. But the connection, the warmth and the joy, is lost when the relationship degenerates back into two separate selves butting heads. And although we want to continue to feel deeply connected, we’re very challenged by our filters from two bodies with different personalities and preferences, so the relationship commonly deteriorates into unsatisfying ego competition versus soul connection (i.e., from we to me).”
