The high priests and priestesses taught the children the secret meditation techniques, along with methods and ways of living that would increase their pranic levels and help them develop their psychic skills.

I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.

I was a traditional teacher for a time, but my students would ride the energy. I wanted to free people not give them a placebo.

The essence of all practice is to be cool. Life is not worth getting excited about because whatever you perceive is an illusion.

I went through times of self-hate, thinking how undeveloped spiritual I was. Everyone else in the ashram, a thousand people, nobody had a girlfriend or boyfriend. I did.

If you live for a very long while, you will have to watch your friends and loved ones die, your body age and lose its beauty and vigor, and your mental capacities fade.

Why don't you like being you for a change? Just be different and don't hate yourself and feel very good about all your different desires and all the things you didn't want and want. Go get them all, and see what it's like.
