Today’s Quote:

“The AQAL Code is the result of what started as The Human Consciousness Project. Similar to the Human Genome Project, the Consciousness Project was created to map every state of consciousness, personality type, meme, neurotransmitter from dopamine to serotonin, every synapse, PET distribution scan, meditation state, altered state, peak experience, neuropeptide, stage of consciousness, neuronal display, twitch, twinge, and tingle of the human mind, or psyche, or bodymind, or brain-mind, or whatever you want to call our being. The idea was to get a complete map of the human brain-mind — a composite map created by looking at every known culture and its psychological, spiritual, and scientific maps of the human psyche — going back thousands of years, and then using all of those partial maps to create a composite map of the full potentials of the total known territory of the human psyche to date.”

– Excerpt from Ken Wilber’s novel, “The Many Faces Of Terrorism”
