Monroe’s affirmation - From the gateway experience...

I am more than my physical body.

Because I am more than physical matter, I deeply desire to expand, to experience, to know, to understand, to control, to use, such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those near and close to me.

Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding, of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal or greater than my own.

Joseph Campbell on myth and intuitive awareness
....Now myth comes from the same zone as dream. This is the zone of what I would call the wisdom body. When you go to sleep it is the body that is talking. And what the body is moved by are energies that it does not control. these are the energies that control the body. They come in from the great biological ground, whatever it may be, protoplasm. they are there. they are energies and they are manners of consciousness. But we also have in this body this affair up here, of the head. And it has a system of thinking of it's own. And there is a whole manner of consciousness that stems from the head, set. And it is different in it's knowledge from that of the body. When a baby is born it knows just what to do with it's mother's body. It is ready for the environment into which it is put. It doesn't have to be instructed. these things happen. this is the work of the wisdom body. Also that same wisdom brought the little thing into form in its mother's body. It was shaped by these energies that live in us and of which we are the carnal manifestation. this wisdom of the dream, wisdom of the vision, is the wisdom of the perennial philosophy. When you dream, your waking consciousness aspect does not understand the dream, so you have to go to a psychoanalyst who doesn't understand it either. the interpretation is gradual and it comes from an exploration by the head of your own wisdom. So we find there is a radical distinction between the perennial philosophy in its mode and it's axioms, quite different from the axioms and mode of the rational system.

Willis Harmin - From Business Ethics - Mar/Apr 92 - interview

You talk a good deal about spirituality. Tell me what that word means to you.

Like everything else important, it has levels and levels of meaning. At one level you could emphasize inner meditative experiences. But there is another stage in which one recognizes the divine intuition, an intuition that is somehow transpersonal, somehow bigger than the individual self, and it has knowledge accessible to it and a wisdom associated with it that you can totally trust. Call it a higher self or a deep intuition. But learning to really trust it instead of filling your life with fears - that in a way is another level of change. It may involve some deep experience of a divine part of yourself.
