• Every single ancient wisdom and religion will tell you the same thing - don't live entirely for yourself, live for other people. Don't get stuck inside your own ego, because it will become a prison in no time flat.

• For the May Day is the great day,
  Sung along the old straight track.
  And those who ancient lines did ley
  Will heed this song that calls them back...
  Pass the cup, and pass the Lady,
  And pass the plate to all who hunger,
  Pass the wit of ancient wisdom,
  Pass the cup of crimson wonder.

  Jethro Tull

• Concern for the symbol has completely disappeared from our science . And yet, if one were to give oneself the trouble, one could easily find, in certain parts at least of contemporary mathematics... symbols as clear, as beautiful, and as full of spiritual meaning as that of the circle and mediation. From modern thought to ancient wisdom the path would be short and direct, if one cared to take it.

• Aunque a menudo se le denomina transdisciplinar, el razonamiento teónomo es en realidad un primer paso atrás hacia la sabiduría antigua en la que la sensación metodológica [o lo que ahora conocemos como ciencia] se ha fusionado completamente con la revelación metodológica [o el conocimiento místico totalmente conocido en el que se ha superado todo aspecto de lo oculto]. A una verdadera tradición no le queda ninguna fase oculta u oculta en su proceso. Los creadores y el público están en perfecta armonía.

• It is true that neither the ancient wisdoms nor the modern sciences are complete in themselves. They do not stand alone. They call for one another. Wisdom without science is unable to penetrate the full sapiential meaning of the created and the material cosmos. Science without wisdom leaves man enslaved to a world of unrelated objects in which there is no way of discovering (or creating) order and deep significance in man's own pointless existence. (p. 4)

• The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the blindness of purely lineal thought.

• La enfermedad mental de la generación actual es la impaciencia por el estudio, el desprecio de los grandes maestros de la sabiduría antigua y la disposición a confiar totalmente en el genio sin ayuda y en la sagacidad natural. Los ingenios de estos días felices han descubierto un camino hacia la fama, que la aburrida cautela de nuestros laboriosos antepasados nunca intentó; cortan los nudos de la sofistería, que antes era cuestión de años desatar, resuelven dificultades mediante súbitas irradiaciones de inteligencia, y comprenden largos procesos de argumentación por intuición inmediata.

• I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom: As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

• Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a wise and intuitive counselor available 24/7? You're in luck-you already have one. Your body! Our bodies carry ancient wisdom. We literally live within a temple of intuitive and instinctive wisdom. Sometimes we pay attention and access body wisdom; but unfortunately, the aphorism "Mrs. Smith lived a short distance from her body" is sadly true for many of us.

• No hay ningún tipo de marco dentro del cual podamos encontrar conciencia en el plural; esto es simplemente algo que construimos debido a la pluralidad temporal de los individuos, pero es una construcción falsa... La única solución a este conflicto, en la medida en que disponemos de ella, reside en la antigua sabiduría de los Upanishad.

• La sabiduría ancestral y la física cuántica son improbables compañeros de cama: En la mecánica cuántica, el observador determina (o incluso hace existir) lo observado, y lo mismo ocurre con los Tiwis, que disuelven la distinción entre ellos y el cosmos. En la física cuántica, las partículas subatómicas se influyen mutuamente a distancia, lo que coincide con la visión aborigen, según la cual las personas, los animales, las rocas y los árboles se entretejen en un mismo tejido.

• La importancia del desarrollo del cuerpo emocional apenas se reconoce hoy en día. Estamos prácticamente abandonados a nuestra suerte para llegar a la edad adulta, seamos hombres o mujeres. Es posible que nuestros mayores se hayan desnaturalizado tanto por la falta de este tipo de cuidados que ya no exista un conocimiento colectivo sobre cómo guiar el despertar de la vitalidad emocional y la autenticidad de nuestros jóvenes, nuestros hijos. Mindfulness puede contribuir a despertar esta antigua sabiduría en nosotros mismos y en los demás.
