Thought-provoking Quotes:

“Maybe instead of fixing the brokenness in society, I should focus on fixing the brokenness in me and in humanity.” – Ky Dickens
“I don't think it's binary that people have to be that dogmatic about science, and we don't have to believe in everything. I think most of us are somewhere in the middle. We want to really investigate and understand the truth about the non-physical world, and it's not silly or unscientific or gullible to do so. I think it's a beautiful part of being alive.” – Ky Dickens
“If you look at the world outside of nature itself, everything here was a thought first. The chair you're sitting in, the jeans you're wearing, even your life itself. And so if consciousness is fundamental, it explains everything.” – Ky Dickens
“So much of what science postulates was completely mocked and ridiculed and dismissed at the time. And it turned out later to be true. I mean, people once thought the world was flat. So our beliefs do change.” – Ky Dickens
“One thing I have come to realize deeply is that science and spirituality are not enemies.” – Ky Dickens
“I have not met a single non-speaker who doesn't talk about people who've passed and about the very real existence of God in an afterlife.” – Ky Dickens
