In Zen we have no gurus.

Life is beautiful all of the time. Just to be alive and perceive that beauty of life all around you and within you is the best that there is.

Beyond the astral dimensions are the causal dimensions. They are not spatial or time oriented. They are planes of light, and they make up the outer limits of nirvana.

As the meditation evolves, you attention passes into higher realms of consciousness.

If the tonal collapses completely, then you're crazy functionally, you're psychotic.

If they're not sincere, then naturally I'll turn them down. But if what they want is to gain power and use it for a higher good, I'll help them. Then they merit some special consideration.

I select people to work more closely when they are prepared to and I see that. They don't have to tell me. I know. I will give them a task of some type, and that task becomes the koan between us.
