At the time of death we walk through a doorway and our spirit, which is very thin, slides through into another world.

Without balance and wisdom, power becomes very destructive. It creates unhappiness and not happiness. To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake.

The worst thing you can do is to sit and brood and feel sorry for yourself. Nor should you feel wrong about doing this, since all of us do from time to time.

If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.

Just see beauty as you walk around through your day. Feel things. Unhook from your thoughts and all the busy things you are doing. Start to look at life. This is mindfulness.

When our power level is down sufficiently, we die.

Focus on an object of some type, hopefully an object that's beautiful or powerful. You could find a pretty colored stone that you just feel good about.
