The first stage of meditation is simply to ignore thought; to become conscious that there is something beyond thought.

There is only black light between the stars. It may seem that it's darkness, but it's really black light. There is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is a human concept. There's only black light between the stars.

Learn that happiness comes through self-control and not being angry or jealous. The only one that you really torment is yourself. It is easier to let go and gain new ways of looking at life.

To assume that wealth or sexuality or the usage of power, any of these things are not void in nature, gives them a reality they don't actually have.

Real meditation engenders humility and purity, always. Yet I don't really think it demands any kind of lifestyle.

People use ideas of non-duality as an escape from reality. It is very easy to say there is no winning and losing and justify the fact that you didn't do a very good job.

Sit in front of an object of concentration with the eyes open. Focus on a candle flame, or a yantra, a little dot, something small. Just look at it. Focus on it until there is nothing else in your mind. This develops willpower.
