There is mental conditioning in your mind put in there during this life by your parents, teachers, the society. You've been told what is and what is not, what is right and what is wrong. This has to be pushed aside.

The higher octave light that comes from samadhi, the kundalini of samadhi, this you can absorb continuously. You can never overload. It can never hurt you.

All the past has done is generated the you that you are now. Dwelling on the past isn't going to change anything.

You can lead an uncommonly fine life. But it takes determination. You have to march to the beat of different drummer. You have to decide.

No one sees life like you do, because you are no one. You change constantly, like the light outside the window.
