Profound, Andre. Here's another one I like:
"Simple people conceive that we are to see God as if He stood on that side
and we on this. It is not so; God and I are one in the act of my perceiving
Him." -- Eckhart
And this:
"If you run away from the Void, you can never be free from it; if you
search for the Void, you can never reach it." -- Niu-tou Fa-yung
And finally:
"The external world and consciousness are one and the same thing." -- .
Edwin Schroedinger
