At a certain point I left my spiritual teacher because I began to see the limitations of my teacher, who was a very powerful occultist, but who I thought was, to some extent, limiting others in their spiritual growth.

Once you become very powerful and advanced, you must be willing to go back to school and start over, and go to a wise person who will show you the way. Very few people are willing to do that.

Molecules are moving. Universes are colliding. Generations are being born and dying simultaneously, throughout eternity. As one of our great American poets, Walt Whitman, once said: "I contain multitudes."

The vast majority of the students I have taught have become self-sufficient and confident individuals who enjoy their lives.

We are taught not to perceive but to avoid direct perceptions of reality and to substitute instead this kind of one-dimensional view of life.

Time does not really exist as we know it; rather it's a transfiguration of a concept in which mortality, mutability, is conditioned.

I think it is very important to view life in terms of winning and losing until complete enlightenment has occurred.
