When you meditate you are accessing eternity. You are plugging yourself into that source which is all light and all beauty and all perfection.

You are drained by foolish actions and others.

You are going to die. Your physical body will disintegrate. You cannot help that.

You have to be courageous in life to allow a lightness to engage your being. It is easy to be a jerk. To be unhappy with all this weird stuff around us just seems to me to be such a waste. That's a jerk.

Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.

If a spiritual being is naive to the lower aspects of the world, they usually are killed or die young. Did Jesus really know which of the twelve would betray him? I doubt it.

It is necessary to have a strong focus. Work will give you that focus.
