We were imprinted with a value system as young children. The sensory experiences of life can trigger and stimulate a variety of associative thoughts and ideas.

Those who love and who have a sense of purity live in a very luminous band of awareness.

What you focus on you become. So always focus on that which is highest, brightest, happiest and most noble of all things, enlightenment.

Once you've done that, push the thought of no thought away.

You gain power through practicing meditation and concentration. You gain power by doing anything you like that makes you feel good. You gain power by being happy.

You come back to the beginning. That's why in the "Searching for the Ox" sequence, at the very end of that sequence of the Zen paintings, we're back in the world again.

You're an emanation of enlightenment. Enlightenment, which is the universe, has created the hallucination that is you in a form that shifts.
