I would encourage you to follow the pathway to enlightenment, to learn to meditate, to practice mindfulness, and not to really care what anybody thinks about you, including yourself.

Taoism shows us how to deal with life and death by realizing everything here is transitory but its substance is eternal.

When you draw from the endless awareness of nirvana, you are no longer a slave to fortune. When pleasant experiences come your way, you can enjoy them. But if pain and misfortune befall you, you can rise above them and remain unaffected.

The purpose of enlightenment is certainly not the teacher, nor is it you. It doesn't have a purpose. Enlightenment simply exists.

Any of the exercises that you start out with will get the kundalini moving. You don't have to stay with them for the entire period of meditation.

The teacher has nothing to do with people who use their mental powers to block the enlightenment of others. These people lack control. What can you teach someone who lacks control?

Fear is just an idea in the mind that limits you. You cannot become enlightened if you are afraid, nor can you become happy.
