A Critique of Science
“…Science has come to be identified with a certain fixed general belief…that the deeper order of Nature is mechanical exclusively, and that non-mechanical categories are irrational ways of conceiving and explaining even such a thing as human life.”
At Keene Valley, NY, 1890s

Dimensions of Consciousness
“Our normal, wakingconsciousness, rational consciousness, as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.”

“Just so there is a continuum of cosmic consciousness…into which our several minds plunge as into a mother sea or reservoir.”
