Terry Tempest Williams Quotes

Our life is a creation of our mind.

Thought is the measure of life.

Life in the true sense is perceiving or thinking.

Mind is the creator of everything.

The act of contemplation then creates the thing created.

The mind, whatever else it is, is a constant of everyone's experience, and, in more ways than we know, the creator of the reality that we live within... Nothing is more essential to us.

The great mystery of our consciousness is beyond our grasp.

Life is but thought.

What we think, we become.

The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. When you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. Then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. Quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. As Walt Whitman succinctly stated: "The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to You." Without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.

When anything is present to the mind, what is the very first and simplest character to be noted in it, in every case, no matter how little elevated the object may be? Certainly, it is its presentness .

Life is whatever we conceive it to be.

The leading edge of reality is mind, and mind is the primary substratum of being.

That in the soul which is called the mind is, before it thinks, not actually any real thing.

Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions.

What is the subject of our thought? Experience! Nothing else!

Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.

Our intention creates our reality.
