“The person who can learn by observation can create his own culture.”

“The first thing you have to know is yourself. A man who knows himself can step outside himself and watch his own reactions like an observer.”

“If we listen and observe carefully the dying can teach us important things that we need to learn in preparing for the end of our own life's journey.”

“Everyone creates realities based on their own personal beliefs. These beliefs are so powerful that they can create [expansive or entrapping] realities over and over.~Kuan Yin”

“Once a person exists, not everything compatible with his overall existence being a net plus can be done, even by those who created him. An existing person has claims, even against those whose purpose in creating him was to violate those claims.”

“He alone is an acute observer, who can observe minutely without being observed.”
