Creativity is a central source of meaning in our
lives for several reasons. Here I want to mention only the two main ones.
First, most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the
results of creativity…The second reason creativity is so fascinating is that
when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during
the rest of life…Perhaps only sex, sports, music, and religious ecstasy—even
when these experiences remain fleeting and leave no trace—provide as profound a
sense of being part of an entity greater than ourselves. (pp. 1 & 2)

Meditation and the Emergent Self: A Quote from "Integral Recovery" by John Dupuy
Wilber has said, in various talks, and this has certainly been confirmed in my work, that one encounters three things in deep meditative practice: (1) the submerged self, leftover trauma and business from the past, (2) our present developmental stage, and (3) our future or emergent self. And it is this contact with our future or emergent possibilities that often fuels our meditative practice with the inspiration to stick with it.
A Sense of Wonder: Dr. Robert Weathers Quotes Eckhart Tolle
"There is clearly an intelligence at work that is far greater than the mind. How can a single human cell measuring 1/1,000 of an inch in diameter contain instructions within its DNA that would fill 1,000 books of 600 pages each?"
