"When you feel the world only as an arrangement of individual things, and miss the mindful sensitivity holding it all together, you are divided from the worlds reality. Each particular of that reality is illuminated by the whole, just as the whole is illuminated by each of its particulars. To diminish your sensitivity to wholeness is to diminish your ability to feel reality." (pg. 58)

"The practices that enable you to be present are practices that bring you back to the body and to what is felt through it. They are practices that carry you beyond the wound of separation and into a seamless experience of reality. Your body hums to the Present - and you become aware of that, you feel the Present living within you. When it is embodied in that way, all sense of separation fades. The embodied Present is the lived Present." (pg. 28)
