Quotes about: Today

• I rise to taste the dawn, and find that love alone will shine today.

  Ken Wilber

  Shining, Dawn, Today

• The understanding of "evolutionary consciousness" is perhaps the most important thing lacking in spiritual practices today. Evolution means growth and development. This means that there are aspects of reality that have not yet arisen in our consciousness. But they will arise if we grow.

  Ken Wilber

  Spiritual, Mean, Reality

• For what we don't realize today is just what the typical self of every previous stage failed likewise to comprehend: this is not the highest and greatest mode of consciousness which can be attained - there lie ahead the realms of the superconscious and the pitiful ego, by comparison, is as a speck of nothingness.

  Ken Wilber

  Lying, Self, Ego

  Ken Wilber (1999). “The Collected Works of Ken Wilber: The Atman Project ; Up from Eden”, Shambhala Publications

• It is often said that in today's modern and postmodern world that the forces of darkness are upon us. But I think not; in the Dark and the Deep there are truths that can always heal. It is not the forces of darkness but of shallowness that everywhere threaten the true, and the good, and the beautiful, and that ironically announce themselves as deep and profound. It is an exuberant and fearess shallowness that everywhere is the modern danger, the modern threat, and that everywhere nonetheless calls to us as savior.

  Ken Wilber

  Beautiful, Dark, Thinking

  Ken Wilber (2001). “Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of Evolution, Second Edition”, p.7, Shambhala Publications

• Great art suspends the reverted eye, the lamented past, the anticipated future: we enter with it into the timeless present; we are with God today, perfect in our manner and mode, open to the riches and the glories of a realm that time forgot, but that great art reminds us of: not by its content, but by what it does in us: suspends the desire to be elsewhere. And thus it undoes the agitated grasping in the heart of the suffering self, and releases us - maybe for a second, maybe for a minute, maybe for all eternity - releases us from the coil of ourselves.

  Ken Wilber

  Art, Eye, Past

• These two enormous forces - truth and meaning - are at war in today's world... And something sooner or later has to give.

  Ken Wilber

  War, Two, Giving

  "The Marriage of Sense and Soul: Integrating Science and Religion". Book by Ken Wilber, April 15, 1998.

• Like going to the dentist, where you write: "Dental appointment today. All of the dentists in Boulder are 'holistic.' They can't fill a cavity but they're good for your soul. Your teeth rot, but apparently your spirit prospers."
