I realize that there's a thing called the bodhisattva ideal, and it's a very nice pinnacle of attention. It's a very egotistical thought, ultimately.

Perception not only defines existence but it creates existence. It gives it form. Without perception there is no existence.

I'm not speaking metaphorically, plants that you have in your house, or if you've ever made friends with a tree somewhere, there is a moment that these beings can aid you.

As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.

When you deal with people, it tends to drag your energy down - if those people are in a lower auric state than you. If you meditate and they don't, then by the end of the day you tend to be more drained.

Happiness is found principally in meditation.

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