"'What is it all about?'" it is no true answer to look only at that part of experience which comes to us through certain sensory organs and reply: 'It is about atoms and chaos; it is about tensors and non-comutative algebra.' Rather, it is about a spirit in which truth has its shrine, whit potentialities of self-fulfillment in its response to beauty and right."-Quantum Questions (pg 190)


"At this time in history, the Greeks were famous throughout the Western world for their brilliant philosophy. But Iamblichus decided that philosophy alone is not enough to lead anyone to enlightenment. He complained that since the spectacular success of some of the more rationally oriented Greek schools, there was too much emphasis on theology, which in Greek means 'talk about God,' and not enough on theurgy, which means 'God work'-actively doing the spiritual practices that actually produce real inner transformation."- Lost Masters, (pg 147)

"We're also told Proclus had a quick temper. He had little patience for stupidity and would flare up at students who failed to meet his high standards. Marinus says his anger would dissipate instantly one his point had been made."-Lost Masters (pg 176)

“The universe of our experience emanates outwards from this Supreme Reality but is never anything other than consciousness, because the ‘thoughts’ of divinity manifest the ‘things’ we perceive. We and objects around us are in a sense separate from this ocean of consciousness, independent or ‘lesser’ realities and yet we and everything else besides exist in perfect unity in the One.” –Lost Masters, p. 178

"For example, if black holes are as we have speculated them to be, whatever disappears in them reappears somewhere. Is it possible, therefore, that there are black holes in other universes which are sucking matter from those universes into our universe? This is a seriously considered possibility. There are objects that appear to be the reverse of black holes."- Wu Li Masters (pg 208)
"This scene is not science fiction. It is based upon a well-known (to physicists) phenomenon called the Twin Paradox of the special theory of relativity. Part of the paradox is that one twin remains on earth while the other goes on a space voyage and returns younger than his brother."-Wu Li Masters (pg 157)









"An uncle who had dabbled in astrology had advised my mother that I should put a shred of saffron in the hollow of my navel after my bath each day."-Bombay London New York (pg 109)
