I don't put much stock in powers that people have to hurt others, in sorcery and all this nonsense. There are murders and there are dictators. That is just a part of life. The intelligent use of power in yoga can assist you avoiding that side of humanity.

I'm only here for a while, so I'd like to do what I can.

You don't need to be able to absorb a tremendous amount of the mystical kundalini to realize God.

Tantra does not seek any type of experience, nor does it avoid it.

Kundalini is the life force. It is given different names. They call it prana. They divide it into different segments, the apana and the samana; sometimes it's called shakti. Nice names, it is energy.

Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.

A great deal of humility is necessary in the process of self-discovery. Humility is the ability to accept what and who you are at this moment.
