Meditation is a process in which we're essentially, at first, breathing out. We're exhaling existence, taking it out of the mind, and the mind out of the mind.

We are many, many selves. We're not just a finite being. The selves don't necessarily speak in words. But they are you.

There are places where it is easy to see, places of illumination, where one moves into illumined states of attention.

Some people are drawn to meditation without knowing why. Their inner being realizes that they've totally fouled up their life so far, and now it's just going to drag them to the local meditation hall.

You are an endless conglomeration of awareness. You're not one singular self. You're a corporation.

A whole society imprints us. Language, television and culture imprints us Just living in a country is a vibratory imprint. All the collective attentions, of all the people who live there - imprint us.

Tantra is for the person who has gone beyond the rules. They've learned the rules so well that now they can go beyond them.
