We want to be all things, not just to gain power over things - how infantile!

If you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.

There comes a time when a race of beings makes a decision. When they chose to reject enlightenment, it's the end of their world because the karma is inevitable. They have to destroy themselves.

An advanced way to meditate, of course, is to focus on your teacher. If you have a spiritual teacher and you focus on them during mediation, then you access the light that flows through them.

Karma exists within causality. It is three-dimensional. Free will exists outside of causality; it is not bound by karma.

In the beginning, when you are meditating, just ignore thought. Shine it on. Then after you are comfortable sitting there, try selectively eliminating negative thoughts, thoughts that agitate the mind.

You need to have the humility to accept your limitations as long as they're there, and have the humility to accept their end when that time comes.
