If you choose to draw from the inner well of free will, then you can make choices that are outside your current karmic patterns.

There are essentially three stages in learning how to meditate. In the beginning you are simply trying to ignore thought.

The things you see are real, but they are not a complete seeing - Samsara.

There are planes that are not light. There are planes that are shadowy. But that is not our interest in meditation. We want brightness, ecstasy, brilliance beyond comprehension.

Never settle for that which is easy and comfortable or the necessity of seeking that which is difficult and uncomfortable.

Reality is perfect light. It frees you from the limitations of this world, from the ugliness, from the unhappiness of limited perception.

When matter stops, self-consciousness stops.
