Self-realization doesn't imply loss, gain, even transition; it's only a settling. The separate sounds on the beach, the birds, the waves, the wind. They all come together again, they blend, they harmonize.

Feel that the energy of your willpower can easily deflect tension-causing feelings and frustrations that are directed towards you from the outside world.

You know, these non-physical beings, it's very hard to tell what they're up to. You can't see them. How can you rely on them? It's chancy.

The types of thoughts that you think create a state of mind. The reason you think the thoughts you do results from your level of power.

Never be bored. Energy lives off of attention. When you are bored you get drained.

Once you are enlightened, you can do whatever you want without fear or sorrow. You can go snowboarding, get married, stay single, be rich and famous, or live unknown in a high Himalayan cave. It is up to you.

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.
