Quotes
edit- Conventional seeing, operating as it does with patterns and coherences, is a way of seeing the present in the past tense. Insight is an attempt to think in the present.
- Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Prophets (1962), Introduction
- The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to pass over transgression.
- Solomon, Proverbs 19:11, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures
- I have been honored to engage in dialogue with some of the most daring, inspiring and insightful "paradigm pioneers" of our time: in medicine, science, psychology, business, religion / spirituality, and human potential. This diverse group of individuals is joined by their commonly voiced insight that humanity is now taking a quantum leap forward in its evolutionary development.

- Zen masters use the word satori to describe a flash of insight, a moment of no-mind and total presence. Although satori is not a lasting transformation, be grateful when it comes, for it gives you a taste of enlightenment. You may, indeed, have experienced it many times with-out knowing what it is and realizing its importance.
- Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, (2005)
