Paul Brunton Quotes

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.

The world is the totality of facts, not of things.

The best mind-altering drug is the truth.

No authority is higher than reality.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts.

Facts are many, but the truth is one.

Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.

What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one's meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality.

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

It's very hard to know what wisdom is.

Sometimes, surely, truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence, to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right.

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.

Knowledge goes hand and hand with truth.

The beginning of all wisdom is recognition of facts

I often wonder which is best, to be honest about what you know in this world, or to continue to deny you know it and thereby fool yourself into believing that it does not exist!

Since a thing cannot be known directly or totally, one can only attune to it, with greater or lesser degrees of intimacy.

You have to keep your mind as wide-open as your eyes, because almost nothing is what it seems.

Some people think this is paranoia, but it isn't. Paranoids only think everyone is out to get them. Wizards know it.

It's all real and it's all illusory: that's Awareness!

I think science is real.
