You’ve got to make a person aware of how miserable they really are and show them how happy they can be. Otherwise, why should they seek this nebulous goal called self-discovery.
There is an all powerful force or energy that creates all and draws all back into it. This is God. It is beyond intelligence, beyond analysis.
You must have total and impeccable trust in eternity. Whether you like it or not, eternity’s in charge, so you might as well trust. You will feel better.
Your whole life is inside your mind. Your mind is the prism that refracts the entire universe. Everything around you and within you comes from your mind.
You must constantly strive to enlarge your awareness. Naturally, if you do, you will have an uncommonly fine and happy life.
You don’t always have to be the winner, have everybody notice you. It’s fun to dance alone sometimes.
As a human being you are capable of a higher level of perception than you may now be cognizant of. You are not really who you think you are. There are many selves inside you, not just one.
You need something. Not just to get through the day, but to get through the incarnation. You need to find that power, that perfect unity.
There is a definite way to do this. There is a training program that you will go through and it’s delightful. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Take the level of dedication that anyone had to get to the top in any field, and apply it to self-discovery. Except that when you get to the top of anything else, it washes away. You will die. The only thing that stays with you forever is your awareness.
The world won’t necessarily change but your understanding of it will, and therefore the world will change. Your attention will no longer be confined to the physical body and the physical world.
In the beginning what is necessary is to feel that there is something worthwhile to be attained otherwise we won’t do it.
If you are able to stop feeling sorry for yourself, and to contribute to the betterment of this world and of those around us, you will experience a high that is beyond my ability to express.
There is no end and there is no beginning. There is only eternity. Eternity can be warm. eternity can be cold and ruthless.
You have to become a master or mistress of your mind.
You can go through hundreds of lifetimes in one, and it all starts with daily meditation practice.
If you meditate deeply several times a day you will transform and change. You will find that you don’t have to inspire yourself to do what is right because you have become what is right.
Experience is a great teacher. You will have to go through the trials and tribulations and the ecstasies and abandoned moments of wonderfulness that all of us did on the way to enlightenment.
The pathway to enlightenment leads to states of ecstasy, knowledge, and a pretty ironic sense of humor.
People on the pathway to enlightenment become very successful in whatever they approach, because they have learned to discipline the mind.
