Perception is a wave. You change as your perception of something changes because you define yourself as a reflection of whatever you happen to perceive.

You are not anyone or anything in particular. You are awareness itself. You don't have a particular form. You contain everything or you are contained by all things.

A teacher is not someone you need perpetually. You need them to show you how to get through the doorway; but once you get through the doorway, you are on your own.

If the tonal predominates, which we see now more in the world, there's no mystery - understanding of consciousness or awareness.

The universe is ecstasy. We have many other ways of perceiving infinity. And when you perceive life through these other modes, that's when you see that the universe is ecstasy, That's when you experience its ecstasy.

The ghetto is not where you live. The ghetto is inside your mind. And anyone who tells you that you can't get out of the ghettos of your own mind has no idea what they're talking about.
