There are different pathways – be it Zen, tantra, karma yoga, or jnana yoga. Different ways have been devised to do the same thing for different types of people according to their temperament.
We live in a world that is dominated by war, hate, violence and suspicion. Those are the things that come naturally in this world. So you have to will something else.
Your life can be horrible or it can be incredibly beautiful. It can be boring or exciting. It’s seldom in between. Your active use of will determines what will happen to you in this and other lives.
If you learn to lead your life strategically and strongly, you can overcome the opposition. But running away, you never overcome anything. The pathway to enlightenment is for the warrior, the samurai.
You might have a warrior spirit in there somewhere, and it’s just waiting for the opportunity to come out. If you do, you might be a candidate for the pathway to enlightenment.
All of the energy of existence is going to flow through you. You will be in thousands of planes of consciousness at once or beyond in nirvana or having a sandwich with a friend.
You are not a singular self. You are a corporation. Inside you is eternity. A human being is not so simple.
You have thousands of selves inside you. Meditation is a process of peeling back the layers of the self. We start with peeling back the personality from this lifetime.
There are all these people running all over the planet who don’t see what life is for, what their own lives are about, because they don’t see psychically. Therefore, they miss most of the beauty of life.
It’s not going to be easy. It’s the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
Each time you dip into the well of existence it changes you. Rapid mental development is that process. It is a process of escalating your evolution.
Redefine you. Oh God, life is so beautiful. Don’t let it pass you by. Don’t miss it. Don’t miss it.
The real dance is within; it is within your mind. Everything is inside your mind. God is inside your mind.
The immortal silence is there always waiting for you and that spirit is deathless and courageous. Remember, many have trod the path that you are walking on and they succeeded. They were no better than you, no wiser.
They had the same fears that you have, the same aggressive tendencies and the same attachments, but they were freed in time because they believed.
Never get so stuck in being responsible and mindful that you can’t let it all go and run off chasing your private dream, if it leads to the shiny worlds, the worlds of beauty.
No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
When we are very young children we know how to feel. It’s innate. But as we lead a lifetime, we pick up so many thoughts, impressions, feelings, and ideas, that our sensitivity goes away.
When we open our heart up to someone, that energy, of course, comes into us.
Everyone feels some jealousy, some anger, and some hostility. Don’t feel guilty. But to allow them to become dominant expressions of your way of life is off the wall.
