For an advanced preceiver, the play of life is to assemble and reassemble the self in alternate realities of which this is one.

There are billions of people out there walking around and they don't meditate. You can tell. They are not having a good time with their lives. People are not happy.

As we grow older and mature in each incarnation, we are drawn back to samskaras, to previous interests and pursuits.

If a person sets out to practice meditation in this lifetime and they have a little bit of spiritual evolution behind them and they're quite dedicated, it really is not at all an impossible task to enter into salvakalpa samadhi in this particular lifetime.

If you had to pick between one or the other, I can't say which one is better; but I would certainly say, in my orientation, the light of samadhi is all-pervasive. Samadhi will free you.

Pick a profession that will give you enough money to give you economic freedom. It is nice to pick a career that really taxes your mind. Use your mind in new and creative ways. You will find that your mind will develop and become stronger.

Samadhi is not going to take away your humanity. It will give it to you. You will become more cosmopolitan, more conscious, and more infinite.
