The world is futile when viewed through the persona of the body. The body is not simply the physical body but it's the body of knowledge of this world.

All the manifest forms of existence are but illusions. They are momentary displays of consciousness, flashes of lightening in the sky. They are there for a moment and then they are gone.

We get so involved with the latest craze or having the latest car or the most high-powered house that we lose touch with that which makes us happy - what makes us happy are quiet states of mind.

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.

The perceptual body that you are at the time of death ceases to be. It is not structured quite so tightly.

Mysticism is the acceptance that everything cannot be logically explained.

When you think about something, you separate yourself from it.
