There are no bad people; there are only bad states of mind.

Perception is, in essence, who we are. We are what we perceive. What we perceive defines who we are.

The sensual world cannot be avoided. We're in it at every moment. We are part of it.

You are not anyone or anything in particular. You are awareness itself. You don't have a particular form. You contain everything or you are contained by all things.

The vast majority of the people who populate our planet live lives of quiet desperation that are all too often quite harsh and painful, lives in which events and circumstances usually don't turn out the way they had hoped or planned.

If we're distracted from the continual flow of perfect mind that we're in, suddenly everything configures, everything solidifies. Suddenly a shape appears out of flux, a world appears, karmas appear, pasts, futures, presents, time structures, ying and yang appear.

If you are just spaced out and you have no purpose in life, you pick everything up. Everybody else's thoughts will come into your mind, everyone else's desires.
