I am still mostly a moron, I do get into bad moods, I am not a perfected being.

If you're meditating and it's easy, you're either enlightened or you're cheating.

Your demons may have been ejected from the building, but they’re out in the parking lot, doing push-ups.”)

What meditation does is allow you to actually survive these emotions as opposed to compartmentalizing and having them come up and make you a shithead in other areas of your life. The alternative is to be miserable, and I don't think we're living in a wise way when we do that.

Meditation suffers from a towering PR problem.… If you can get past the cultural baggage, though, what you’ll find is that meditation is simply exercise for your brain.

When you have one foot in the future and the other in the past, you piss on the present.

The getting lost and recovering - that is the meditation.
