The essence of your awareness field definitely goes on after death. It goes through death, it goes into non-physical states for a time, and then eventually is pulled back and it reincarnates.

Beyond all of this is something else, perfection; not just as an ideation, but as a living reality. Even though it may just be an idea for you, hold that idea in your mind.

Put the mind in alignment with the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment and experience them in various gradations forever. That's the total purpose of a monk.

Anyone has the ability, if they choose, to move to the higher end of the state of mind they are in. From that higher end, they can generate another state of mind.

There is no such thing as spiritual achievement; it is simply an awareness intrinsic to all of life.

What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.

There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.
