How do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.

I explored alternate states of consciousness at one period of my life through psychedelics, as was the fashion with all my friends.

Take a yoga class, study different forms of self-discovery. Some people are crazy and fanatical, avoid them. People who are balanced and calm and introspective, associating with them will raise your energy level.

Don't be afraid. You are as alive as anything else is alive. Your right to be alive is as great as the right of anything else.

When thought stops, a doorway opens into dimensions that are pure and unassociated. They're nonbinding realities. They're non-samskaric, which simply means that they're beautiful; they're ecstatic.

You are all dirty and grungy. You go step in the shower and you come out clean. When you enter into the white light, it does something to you.

Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus on a chakra, then just let go and merge. Don't sit there and think or move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states of attention.
