An individual has to be tenacious enough to become enlightened.

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.

All of the energy of existence is going to flow through you. You will be in thousands of planes of consciousness at once or beyond in nirvana or having a sandwich with a friend.

Meditation is not impractical or unrealistic, nor is it difficult to integrate with any lifestyle or age, in that it's timeless, although it occurs in time.

In the beginning what is necessary is to feel that there is something worthwhile to be attained otherwise we won't do it.

If you suspect someone is draining you, generally you should not confront them, but be nice, relax them, and then see what they are doing.

Your self is the universe, and you perceive the universe through a state of mind.
