Quotes:

“I am accused of mysticism. I do not, however, hold myself responsible for the fact that man has, everywhere and always, spontaneously developed religious forms of expression, and that the human psyche from time immemorial has been shot through with religious feelings and ideas. Whoever cannot see this aspect of the human psyche is blind, and whoever chooses to explain it away, or to "enlighten" it away, has no sense of reality.”

― Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul

“You can’t get wet from the word water.” – Alan Watts

“This “Oneness” is not much brighter in the sky, as It is not much dimmer on earth. It is not more glorious in a saint as It is not more fainter in an ordinary person. It is everlasting and cannot be named.” – From the 14th Verse of The Tao Te Ching, 

"Once you label me, you negate me." - Soren Kierkegaard
