Energy is gained by giving energy. When we give energy, we gain energy. This is different than having someone manipulate you and take your energy.

The universe is pretty cool. You always exist in one form or another. You are a wave and you are changing and moving from one level to another.

Don Juan, in the teacings of Carlos Castaneda, makes the same point. You have to fool people into seeking knowlege. People will not do it of their own volition.

In our world, in our pre-World War III condition, meditation is considered a cult activity and people who practice self-discovery are actually persecuted and ridiculed.

Our past affects us, our present affects us, and even our future can affect us. We live in the relative world of time and space.

There is no continuity at all. The universe isn't any particular way. It strictly depends upon perception.

The place that you gain the most power is within your own mind. Stopping thought generates power. That is why people meditate. The longer you can stop thought, the more power you gain.
