Beginning meditation is a process of unhooking ourselves from thought, being motivated to meditate. It is very exciting in the beginning because we see the tremendous jumps we make in awareness.

Let's say you dissolve and become infinite light. There is this sense of being light even though the mind is not thinking it, one feels it, which indicates that one is still there - at least half of one.

Focus on this moment. Hold your hand and see what it feels like. Go look at some grass. Talk to a palm tree. Outrun a Ferrari. Experience life.

If you want to become enlightened, you've got to get all the bullshit out of your life. You have to clear up your mind completely.

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.

A person trying to meditate is doing something that's impossible since meditation is not an action.

The process of eliminating the samskaras and reaching complete enlightenment is very technical, wonderful, and mystical process.
