When you sit, you've put a place on the island of the tonal for the possibility of your thoughts stopping for a short period of time.

When I leave the body someday, I can help people just as effectively if they focus upon me.

There are people in the Himalayas who are thousands of years old. But that's just a power, you see. It would seem to me that would suggest a tremendous aversion to the experience of death.

There is wisdom in not letting anyone really know who you are or what you are like. If you define yourself, people hold you in their mind a certain way making it difficult to change.

Meditation will bring back the powers and awareness from the past; more importantly, it will expand your consciousness today.

In pranayama you don't worry about taking breaths, you focus on exhalation. If you exhale properly you will inhale. The more deeply you exhale the more deeply you will inhale.

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.
