The pathway to enlightenment is beautiful. There are a lot of wonderful things that happen along the way. Win or lose, you just keep going, and it happens eventually.

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.

Naturally, the Zen Master Rama philosophy is to have a high state of awareness and material success.

Happiness has to do with how quickly you vibrate, how intelligent you are, how subtle your awareness field is, how deep you are, how aware of your eternal part you are.

As incarnations go by, the atom gets more complex. That is, your being, the part of you that reincarnates from lifetime to lifetime, the aggregate, grows thicker and denser.

A time comes when it isn't enough to read about Buddha, we wish to have that happen to ourselves. That's when we move from the exoteric to the esoteric, from religion to mysticism.

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