- He showed beings who were half animal, half plant, or half object, half man. He’s a ‘faithful’ painter — faithful to what we spiritually really are. When I think of an object, I become that object, otherwise I’d never understand what it is. And these beings which are strange crossings of animals, plants, and objects of different periods of time can be seen to represent the man of the future, a man who can become more and more omnipresent and omnidimensional, who realizes that he is everything else. In me is every — animal, though I’m not conscious of it.1974, Jonathan Cott, Stockhausen: Conversations with the Composer, Pan Books, page 197:
- Egypt's artists visually portrayed all humans and animals only as one-plane, flat silhouettes.

- Now, although our bodies may not be able to participate in other dimensions, our minds may well be omnidimensional.

Implied here is the notion that there are tunnels or psychic warp spaces and times within the field of consciousness through which different universes can be connected.1996, Jean Houston, A Mythic Life: Learning to Live Our Own Greater Story, Harper San Francisco, →ISBN, page 149:
