When the yogis and sages and contemplatives make a statement like, “The entire world is a manifestation of one Self,” that is not a merely rational statement that we are to think about and see if it makes logical sense. It is rather a description, often poetic, of a direct apprehension or a direct experience, and we are to test this direct experience, not by mulling it over philosophically, but by taking up the experimental method of contemplative awareness, developing the requisite cognitive tools, and then directly looking for ourselves. – Ken Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality
