“A person is a great process, a bridge from animal to Soul. But we do not know about it”

“It's rude to stare, but the great thing about staring at a sedated person is that they don't know you're doing it.”

“Clearly, animals know more than we think, and think a great deal more than we know.”

“We are cynical about our own species, but less so about animals, especially wild ones. We might not shelter them from habitat destruction, but we do tend to shelter them from excessive irony.”

“Presence is about how every action can arise from the quality, which we call awareness – the presence of our inner being, the presence of our soul. It is a large difference between working with people from the inner being and working with people from duty or a specific technique. Through working from the inner being, we can touch the soul of the other person, while we can only touch the personality of the other person, his surface and periphery, if we just work from a technique.”
