It is not a good idea to continually repeat a mantra during meditation. Repeating a mantra throughout your mediation causes you to fixate on a specific level of consciousness.

Your mind is filled with thoughts and desires. Your moods shift constantly. You are not sure what it is you want, it changes from moment to moment; there is little or no continuity in your life.

The surface personality is only the beginning of what we are. So as we meditate, we still that surface personality, we can see beyond it, and we see that we encompass multitudes.

We are luminous beings. Beneath our transient physical bodies we are made of intelligent light.

It's considered very, very bad karma, if I can cut to the chase, to take power from a teacher and not use it for something very positive.

If you abuse power, you will be burned and then you will learn...if you live.

Happiness is separate from daily experience. If picking the right door on the game show makes you happy, then you will be unhappy in the future because eventually you will pick a wrong door.
