Igor Kufayev Quotes

Wonder, known in Sanskrit as Camatkāra, is that sense of spiritual astonishment when our mundane consciousness, otherwise dominated by subject-object dynamics, is rendered asunder and a state of unity is a spontaneous outcome.

The raison d'être for “being in the world,” the incentive behind the entire creation, is to know, to behold and to savor one’s presence through the direct partaking in Being. The world itself is a movement in Awareness to get to know itself.

There is a direct correlation between the creation of a work of art and the transformation of one’s own consciousness. When this is properly understood, or even better, intuited, then this is one of the most beautiful parts of any spiritual unfoldment.

Everything unfolds in that creative tension between the subject and the object, and the relationship between them. It is for that reason the refinement of perception is seen as an indispensable part of the soul's unfoldment; until subject and object, Lover and Beloved are drowned in the Sea of Love.

The ability to bring beauty forth through the refinement of perception is, at once, what makes us truly human and what transcends that notion altogether. It is in itself an invocation, an inborn presence within all of us. A threshold to mark that sacred movement of the inner and the outer, as the doorway to walk free, to be transported. To behold something, to conceive, and to give birth to a new reality.
