Some interesting quotes:
"Art as avant guard, art as leading edge, art as pointing to something you can't get out of conventional society, art as making statements, art as method-technique of growth..." K. Wilber
"Holons: wholes that are simultaneously parts of other wholes." "Thus 'all level, all quadrant' practice means exercising physical, emotional, mental and spiritual waves, in self, culture and nature."- K. Wilber
"Art as anti-environment becomes more than ever a means of training perception and judgment. For the artist makes models of problems and situations that have not yet emerged in the larger matrix of society. In their artistic play, they discover what is actually happening, and thus appear 'ahead of their time.' Non-artists always look at the present through the spectacles of the preceding age." - M. McLuhan
"The artist is the man in any field, scientific or humanistic, who grasps the implications of his actions and of the new knowledge in his own time. He is the man of integral awareness." -M. McLuhan
"Is the creative human being merely an instrument or a projection of the creative action of totality? Or does one act from one's own being independently? I suggest that this is a wrong question, as it presupposes a separation of the human being from the totality. A better question is: can we be free to participate in the creativity of the totality at the level appropriate to our potential? " -D. Bohm
"Absolute Non-Duality; that means that a gap would no longer exist between our deepest intentions, our higher motives and the life we living right now." -A. Cohen
"If one has a blunt instrument, one can't go deeply."- J. Krishnamurti
P. S. The fire that threatened my city has now subsided and is, I believe, controlled. But there are several others still raging in the state. Observers, including fire men and women, agree that nothing like this has been seen in this area before.
