The Unity of Experience
“In some reports, particularly of the mystic experience or the religious experience or philosophical experience, the whole of the world is seen as unity, as a single rich live entity. In other of the peak experiences, most particularly the love experience and the aesthetic experience, one small part of the world is perceived as if it were for the moment all of the world.”
–Abraham H. Maslow (American Psychologist, 1908-1970)
“Toward a Psychology of Being, 3rd Edition” (Abraham H. Maslow)
Seeing the Whole Picture
“Perception of inconsistencies, of oppositions and of flat contradictions…these seem to be products of partial cognition, and fade away with cognition of the whole.”
–Abraham H. Maslow (American Psychologist, 1908-1970)
