This is just one little lifetime in a succession of lifetimes.

We hide from ourselves by being with others.

If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream.

It's not logical, self-realization. If it was, everybody would be self-realized because everybody is logical.

Your mind is your life. It's your essence and your substance. It's the part of you that has always been and will always be. Its formations change constantly, which is what makes you always new.

The earth is not the same everywhere. Certain powers are available in one part of the earth that are not available in another part. The rich realize this. They live in these places and they use that power to stay rich.

You should always feel, no matter how many times you've meditated before, that this is your first meditation. You have no idea what will happen or what won't happen.
