Inspirational quotes by M. Scott Peck, White Eagle, and D. T. Suzuki

“While we can- and I believe, should- bite off little pieces of the mystery upon which to gnash our scientific teeth, we are approaching matters vast and magnificent beyond our comprehension. Whether we know it or not, we are literally treading upon holy ground. A sense of awe is quite befitting.”

                                    M. Scott Peck (People of the Lie, p 46)

“When man has become cognisant of God, in the heart and centre of his own being and of the whole universe, then he realises that he is not separate but a part of the whole, and part of God, and God is in him; thus slowly he emerges into the greater consciousness, into the all-ness of life.”

                                    White Eagle, p 109

“As soon as a name is given, the Godhead ceases to be Godhead. Man and Nature spring up and we get caught in a maze of abstract conceptual vocabulary.”

                                    D. T. Suzuki (The Role of Nature in Zen Buddhism) (Eranos Lecture, 1954)
