I was very immersed in the world. I'm very worldly. I love world. I was immersed in my career, in school, in teaching.

This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.

We live in an age that's repeating itself endlessly. We're getting closer again to the techno-chic world we saw in Atlantis that occurs in countless planes. It's indigenous to enlightenment.

When you become angry at someone, your anger will actually have a power. You can hit somebody in a non-physical way and it can injure that being.

If you are a successful person and you let a lot of people in and around your life, they can drain your power. It won't go to them, but it will leave you.

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

At the end of meditation period we always bow and we touch our head to the floor and say "Buddha's name be praised."
