I totally think we have a future on the planet. I just think that we have to get away from Western thinking, which is very much founded on dualisms.

Modern humans became fixated on a collective hallucination of linear time, ignoring the fractal spirals of the surrounding universe.

In shamanic cultures, sychronicities are recognized as signs that you are on the right path.

We live in a culture where everything tastes good but nothing satisfies.

If you step back from it and really think about what the mass media does on a global scale, the most significant thing it does is coordinate behaviour.

Deep down, nobody wants a job to occupy his or her time. We want a mission that inspires us.

I think that the more people go through their own personal initiations, the less collective destruction may be unleashed on the planet.

The idea that I really like is December 21st, 2012. Try to get a global moment of collective reflection as a way to bring about an uptick in human consciousness.

Synchronicities express themselves through chance meetings and natural events as well as in dreams and supernatural episodes.

Maybe the same instruments and tools that have been used to keep people in slavery and ignorance could potentially be used to liberate and awaken them.

An eerie atmosphere leeched from the soot-damaged walls. It was as if the house had died, and yet she felt she belonged here. It was as if the old place wanted to claim her from the grave.

Bravery breaks barriers! You were not born to be mediocre! Put on courage and conquer! Don’t forget, however, never ever to go without true humility in all your endeavors!

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.

When I awake dramatically I start off my day by reciting aloud a fan letter.

Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.

All my first dates are interrupted by my fame because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain.

Take the good the gods provide thee.

A lie told well is just as good as the truth.

The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others.

Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
