“Midlife is the time to let go of an overdominant ego and to contemplate the deeper significance of human existence.”

“Human nature is deeper and broader than the artificial contrivance of any existing culture.”

“The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”

“We are not going through an "economy crisis"; we are going through a "spiritual transition". On a deeper level, the collective conscious of humanity is awakening.”

“But even if ego-death is regarded as the optimum model for human existence, one of liberation from ourselves, it still remains a compromise with being, a concession to the blunder of creation itself. We should be able to do better, and we can. To have our egos killed off is second-best to killing off death and all the squalid byplay that flitters around it. So let all lands be small, and grower smaller and smaller until no lands are left where any human footstep need press itself upon the earth.”

“Beauty in things exists in the mind that contemplates them.”
