If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?

Happiness is not the same as pleasure. Pleasure is an immediate experience, very transient in nature, that's enjoyable, and if we experience a great deal of it - there's a sense of satiation.

When you could get angry with someone and separate yourself from them, don't do that. If you have people who are difficult to deal with, be neither attracted nor repulsed. Go a step higher.

With the power of one's will we stop thought and move into alternate forms of perception. We gain that power through practicing very, very, very hard each day when we meditate to stop our thoughts.

The shushumna is the tube that the kundalini passes up in the subtle body, and on one side is the ida and the other side is the pingala.

Enter into the activities of the world, without getting overjoyed by success or totally put out by failure. Whether they love you or hate you, it doesn't much matter. What matters is stillness.

The world is wonderful. It is beautiful when you are in a correct level of attention.
