You have to learn to be very, very gentle to start with - with yourself eventually. Meditation is not something that you force. It is something that happens to you because life gives you a gift.

So I went off on my own and started the process of spiritual teaching.

The process is learning to turn your back on everything and everyone and face that immensity. And only after you've done that can you then turn around and face the world again with new, clear eyes.

Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.

Happiness will come through the practice of yoga and Buddhism, that happiness is not something you will lose at the end of this lifetime. It will stay with you.

There's really no pain in the realm of the higher astral. A lot of spirits are playing mini-golf having a good time.

For some reason, the women in my life have always been extremely powerful. I've learned a great deal from that. I've learned that we're all women when we're complete and we're all men.
