Ken Wilber:
Do you mind if I give you one of my favorite quotes from Aldous Huxley?

Pathways:.....
Please.

Ken Wilber:

This is from

After Many a Summer Dies the Swan:

“I like the words I use to bear some relation to facts. That’s why I’m interested in eternity -- psychological eternity. Because it’s a fact.”

“For you perhaps,” said Jeremy.

“For anyone who chooses to fulfill the conditions under which it can be experienced.”

“And why should anyone wish to fulfill them?”

“Why should anyone choose to go to Athens
to see the Parthenon?

Because it’s worth the bother.
And the same is true of eternity.
The experience of timeless good
is worth all the trouble it involved.”

“Timeless good,” Jeremy repeated with distaste.
“I don’t know what the words mean.”

“Why should you?” said Mr. Propter.
“You’ve never bought your ticket for Athens.”
