The knowledge of reincarnation assures us that life is worth living. Life is not a one-shot deal. It is forever.

Never settle for that which is easy and comfortable or the necessity of seeking that which is difficult and uncomfortable.

The nagual is the superconscious. It's nirvana. It's the unknown that cannot be explained or reasoned.
